A winning effort begins with preparation.

It was a big deal. At the end of the game, we’re kicking an extra point to win the game.

The scheme they had on defense for us was something quite a few people up here can play,

Whatever your business is, we all have a drama going on in our own lives. We’re all unhappy about something. You have sickness, marital problems, a myriad of things going wrong in everybody’s life. You...

Patrick stepped in there and did a heck of a job. And I don’t know if you can say enough about Santana.

It’s good for him. It’s good for us, because I think it gives us somebody solidly behind Patrick there.

Across the board, we need to step it up.

In order to have a great rivalry, both teams have to be winning some games. Lately against Dallas, we haven’t been able to do that, … Until we start doing that, it’s kind of hard...

I know he had a big week.

I certainly haven’t talked about anything like that.

Sean can definitely play receiver, … He has a big wingspan and great hands. We’re trying to get him in a few situations where he can maybe make a play for us.

Any time you get into the playoffs, it’s a huge deal.

We’ve all kind of been in a similar situation. In my case it was a racquetball tournament,

The biggest misrepresentation there is that (it’s because) Dan’s got a lot of money. That’s not it. We’ve got a rule. Believe me, if we had no rules, Dan would spend some money.

Hopefully, something starts working out so we can get Patrick some place that he would like. I don’t have a time frame on it. We don’t feel pressure or anything.

Those two throws, absolutely you couldn’t throw them any better than that,

He’s tough-minded. He’s got a tough, disciplined way of doing things, … I know from going against him out here, it’s extremely tough. You’ve got to be ready for a little of everything. It’s a...

[Patten also is a valuable resource for players and coaches alike. Gibbs, a Hall of Fame coach with three Super Bowl wins, routinely asks him about how the Patriots — winners of three of the...

Playing smart was a big emphasis this week, … and we still had a number of penalties. That’s still a real concern.

Our quarterback came out of Sunday’s game amazingly well. We gave him the award for being the tough guy–certainly he was. He had to scramble and make a big play in there [late in the...

I’ve got to tell you, for a little old guy fighting his guts out, we really like him. We’ve got some tough decisions there to make, and certainly he stood up.

For us it was just hard-fought, … We fought hard all day and kept slugging. That’s about all you can say from our side. I was proud of our guys, because they had great heart...

They did some things early on in there that threw us some curve balls. On defense, they did a real good coaching job on that part. We had to kind of struggle to get things...

If he didn’t have the calf situation, he would have practiced, … He played extremely well. . . . The game was very physical and he got some hits. Quarterback-wise, the odds that we can...

I feel good. Health-wise, I’m probably in better shape than I was a bunch of years before. Being a diabetic, I watch everything I eat. I feel great physically.

Obviously, we’re very happy to have Tony with us for the foreseeable future, … Along with Home Depot, he’s been an important part of our organization for a number of years, and we’re thankful that’s...

I want to say a big thanks to our fans for all they did for us to get here. I feel humbled and really thankful. The Lord has blessed us with a great bunch of...

Everything in the world today happened to Tony, and he still finished fifth. I got to tell you, that’s pretty miraculous right there.

It’s smart. If you are going to make an investment of millions and millions of dollars, you would research them.

It’s going to be a big topic of discussion.

I think it was one of the prettiest plays I’ve ever seen,

Mark and other team members have worked cooperatively with us in renegotiations, approaching the matter like the veterans and team leaders that they are.

I couldn’t see them overturning that, … They called it, they reviewed it, and they reversed it. The way their team reacted, I thought it was a done deal. They didn’t mention anything to me....

Failures are expected by losers, ignored by winners.

We enjoyed having him here and everything. We just wish him the best now, … [Cut day] is painful because you have a lot of real good guys there that have worked very hard and...

At the end, there was some unbelievable plays. It really took my breath away.

I think it would be best for us to start Mark.

We’ll probably stay the same way we are with kicking.

there’s something I can do.

I tried to tell the players that you have to be realistic. So whatever we’re getting right now — Carolina, I think they were in the top five [in defense] and Cincinnati is hugely improved...

I’m not a karma guy. I don’t believe in any kind of luck, either. … We’ve been fortunate. I would say that.

I will say this, we don’t listen to him all the time or we’d be out here in our underwear.

It’s an exciting day for us.

Two weeks in a row, he’s been pretty impressive.

Carlos is better. His range of motion improved. He pushed it hard yesterday, but we’ll just have to see.

We had so many injuries last year. I was kind of praying that we’d be much more in a good-health situation when we got to the regular season.

He’s young. He’s got a heck of an arm. I think he’s capable of making any throw you want him to make. One of the best learning tools a quarterback can have is watching somebody...

This is the most accurate our team has been since I can remember. It wound up being one of those games you dream about.

He’s had a big learning curve, and we want to play him more than what we did the other night, … has got him scheduled to play more. He’s a very good athlete, and he...

I think we are concerned there,
