Keeping a team healthy is a huge deal,

I am looking for somebody to really establish themselves as the quarterback, to take over and take off with the team,

[Coach Joe Gibbs said he spoke at length with owner Daniel Snyder on the phone Sunday night, and informed the players today of the owner’s support.] He thinks the world of our team, … He...

Hey, hey, … No filming after 15 minutes. Get those cameras out of here.

A couple of times we make a mistake by being so aggressive, … We come up and we probably had a chance to get the guy down, but we try to explode on him and...

He just has to do his part, … He doesn’t have to do any more than that. He directs the offense and gets us points. He doesn’t have to try to make something happen by...

I know a lot of people will disagree with this, and I understand that,

I’ll probably address this for the last time,

Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate, … and I’m picking up the tab!

In talking to Mark, he gives me the impression that he thinks he can go and we’ll work towards that.

He’s very valuable to us. We can’t afford to lose somebody like that.

We’ve had comments from people we’ve played — that play was the one that really scared them. Teams blitz a lot, and if you catch that thing and there’s one mistake by the defense, it’s...

With our free agents, we think we have the best place for them.

It’s probably one of our biggest concerns, with his groin. It’ll probably be later in the week before we get a report on that.

He’s got tons of experience, and he’s a very good holder. We felt like it was somebody we need to look at.

Most of the quarterbacks I’ve dealt with when they’re young have had setbacks,

When Mark was playing last year, we weren’t as good personnel-wise as we are now.

Probably what I’m going to have is two receivers mad every week. It’s just a matter of which two among our group.

No. I think I know what his feeling is and he knows ours. He’s a very important guy and we’ve invested a lot in him. But we can say he’s frustrated with the situation over...

That’s one of the great moments for me, … I can tell you that.

Certainly, I don’t think anybody here feels satisfied with our passing game or rushing game right now,

In order to have a great rivalry, … you’ve got to have two teams that are beating each other, and it’s been one-sided. So I don’t know. I can’t speak for the rivalry part of...

We ran him and he just couldn’t run,

I can’t talk enough about our defense.

I think NASCAR makes it pretty clear that they’re not going to put up with any of that, … I might be saying something different five weeks from now, but right now I’m not worried...

Obviously, they were playing at home.

I think what you’ve got in the NFL is somebody busting their hump trying to make a block, and do you get in the wrong position trying to do something as hard as you can...

You’re hoping for a new CBA because it frees up a lot of money for all of us.

He’s not a starter and hasn’t started, … I know he’s disappointed in not making more of an impact, not playing more, but I think it’s something we have to work our way through. I...

The good thing about it is the cast covers his thumb but your fingers are out, … He played extremely well with one last week and I asked him, ‘Hey, does it bother you?’ And...

The tuck rule is the tuck rule, … It says you can pull [the ball] down and do anything you want for the next 10 minutes. It makes no sense to me. It’s the way...

We’ve got a real tough one next week, … I’m going to enjoy tonight’s dinner, though, at least.

I felt like he got hit low on it. He tried to come back but felt like he couldn’t. We’ll have to see how that develops over the next couple of days.

We’ll see how Mark progresses toward the end of the week.

It’s a situation where it’s tough for Tom and tough for us, … We think the world of him.

It’s been a big emphasis for us this week. We need to step it up on pass protection because it’s a big deal for us.

I don’t know how to rate it, I just know that being 5-3 right now is pretty good,

It’s what I lean on. Any time I feel down, like we all do, I think about that. Hey, this is where I’m supposed to be. There’s a confidence knowing that God has put you...

We kept Mark out as a precautionary measure, … He looked good this morning. We don’t anticipate any problems.

It is fun being in, I’ll say that. It’s a thrill to be in the playoffs. I really enjoy that part of it. From that standpoint, it makes the day much easier.

My heart is still with the offense. Al will probably be saying ‘Shut up!

Right now, everybody is nervous. I would sure hate to see us go into free agency without (a new CBA) done. The other thing I’m hoping for is the date to be extended.

I’d love to have a rule where if you play on Monday night, you have to play at home the following Sunday. It’s tough to operate on a short work week like that.

It will allow me to focus on things where I can help the football team. It’s tough when you’re in meetings and the coaches are waiting on you. I can already see that we’re farther...

We were obviously concerned after the game, but he has very little swelling, and our guys feel encouraged.

[Coach Joe Gibbs didn’t share the quarterback’s critical self-assessment.] He’s playing very, very good, … He’s got a feel for things, he made some phenomenal throws, he scrambled out of the pocket. There’s no one...

One thing about Patrick is he’s a real good student. I think he’s smart, and kind of knows when you put in the game plan that he’s got a feeling for it.

We decided to take our best shot and go at them. We didn’t want to lose a Super Bowl by not being tough enough.

I take responsibility for all of it. It all rests with me. We don’t have to look real far to find somebody. I’m to blame.

We’re going to have to wait that out, … But if I had to guess right now, I think it would make it tough for him to make it back for Monday night. We’ll just...
