That’s never been done before in the NFL, so you’d have to say that this team is going to play a lot of close games, … It’s been phenomenal all the way across the board....

I feel humbled and really thankful the Lord’s blessed us with a great bunch of guys. Any time you get into the playoffs, it’s a huge deal. … I don’t know what to say about...

We will miss him. He has been a real leader for us. I think he has had as good of a year as I remember a guard having. We’ll probably have to adjust some things...

We feel pretty comfortable as a team. I don’t think we’re under pressure to take any one particular spot, to be truthful, right now. I think we can be pretty comfortable at 53, just taking...

When I told (my wife) Pat (that I was coming back), she said you’re going to ruin your good name. After the first year, we’re halfway there.

It’s a real concern, … It’s a problem. We’ve got to get it corrected because you won’t win games up here turning the ball over and I’d still say those are two areas where we...

I think that kind of [depends on] how he progresses this week. He looked pretty good today. We’ll just have to see how sore he gets and what he looks like [tomorrow] or Thursday. But...

My impression is that he’s very accurate. I think he’s going to be a guy that can really roam with the football. He’s going to make plays with his feet. I think he has a...

He has fantastic ball reaction,

That was the most congenial conversation I think I’ve ever had with anybody. What I was saying to him there was, ‘I think you can help the football team’ – that’s when my finger came...

We think that right now we got a core group of players that are extremely hard working. Now, how good we’re going to be, how many games we’re going to win? That remains to be...

This is something that is extremely hard, … You don’t like doing this. I don’t. Sometimes you don’t chart the circumstances or what happens – it just happens. Certainly it wasn’t the plan I had...

I’ve got to do some creative thinking about it, … We do a lot of stuff to emphasize turnovers and taking the ball away in practice. I probably need to think long and hard about...

If you have a chance to win the game, you’re going to try to go for the game.

The thing about Ray is, he’s not going to panic. He’s been around forever. He was able to play tackle for us last year and now he’s come in to play guard. He’s a pretty...

It was ugly, wasn’t it?

We have great chemistry, great character. Our goals would be to keep everybody — the coaching staff, the players — together and hopefully improve next year. We all feel like we’ve got something going here.

For all of us, the collective bargaining agreement is a big deal. We’ve seen everything in this league – strikes, free agency and salary caps. For some teams in the league, it’s going to be...

It’s been a real struggle for us, … And the only way you get out of it is to fight our way out of it.

It’s something we’re trying to gain information about and letting them talk and visit and seeing what situations may be out there. And we’re doing the same thing. We’ll see if there’s a fit. It...

I think it’s just a matter of getting back in there and letting him do a little bit of everything. I don’t think we’ve decided on a specific role for him. Hopefully, he’s going to...

We’ve had balls on the ground, … The quarterback threw about three of them we should have got our hands and should have picked off. It’s just one of those things where we haven’t been...

We’d had three tough losses in a row and everybody was down. I think our players said to themselves: ‘Our backs are up against the wall and we’ve got no other option other than just...

We’ll probably look at the film tomorrow and see some real good things, but right now we’re our own worst enemy,

This is really a heck of a mess you left me in.

You know when you’ve got a good group like that to work with no one knows what’s going to happen but it encourages me because it’s fun to go to work, fun to practice.

As long as he’s not getting in trouble, let him go out and have fun.

Our goal is to try to hold it on offense in that situation, and don’t give it back, … Run time off the clock and protect the lead. We need to average more than that...

I know this is something that I’m saying to every fan out there and every person that thinks the world of the Redskins and pulls for them, … I know a lot of people will...

We came up short on offense and that’s on me.

I don’t know about that, … I’ve never heard that over a headset, I’ll put it that way.

Right now, everybody is nervous. Certainly we’re one of those teams. Teams that are really aggressive are concerned. How much we’ll have [to spend in free agency] is totally dependant [on whether there will be...

There’s no serious considerations for doing that. But I don’t think you ever rule it out.

He’s been seasoned, … Hopefully we’ve got a young guy who’s on the come.

[Joe Gibbs, the Redskins’ coach and president, said last week that not re-signing Pierce was a mistake.] I learned a lesson from it, … And I don’t intend to repeat it in the future. So,...

We had a miserable first year (6-10 in 2004), and that’s real hard on you. So you go in the second year knowing you’ve got to make something happen. Being able to get 10 wins,...

I think in that game it was total domination all the way across the board. I don’t know what else to say about it. Everybody who watched it would probably say the same thing. It...

I kind of went through a thing there of what’s the best way to be organized on game day, … And I feel like Jack and Don had a good feel. So the way we’re...

There are some real critical decisions we’re going to make in that group. So we played them a lot. And hopefully the film will tell us what we need to know so we make good...

I attributed quite a bit of it to him being hurt.

Something like that starts with me. . . . It was all of us together.

We would like to solve everything that we could on our football team in free agency. That way you go into the draft and you’re freewheeling.

We’re going to go with two kickers until John is healthy, and then we’ll make a decision, … We are thin at some other positions, but we don’t have a choice at this point.

It was a great experience tonight — I’m thrilled we came out on the right end of it. Anytime you get into the playoffs, it’s a huge deal.

That was the first time we got manhandled by somebody in the regular season. Our guys just took it upon themselves. They knew what needed to be done and they knew they needed to play...

That’s very important for us. We need to hit some of those guys. We put a lot of emphasis on who will still be there at (Rounds) 5, 6 and 7.

I tried to make a joke,

If there’s anybody that’s got better long-ball reaction than that guy — he turned around and snatched that thing from I don’t know where.

Our heart goes out to everybody down there, … They’ve got to do whatever they’ve got to do. We’re all praying for everybody down there. There’s been a number of our players affected by it,...

We wish Bill Musgrave all the best in his new role with the Falcons organization. Although it is unfortunate that he departed, we always want what is best for our coaches and their families, which...
