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,

Mark just doesn’t make mistakes. If you watch him, he’s mistake-free,

Football is a big deal at Miami. They play a tremendous schedule. If you’re taking a look at somebody — if he can play at Miami and be that kind of a guy and a...

Obviously he is not in a position where we think he can kick for us right now.

It’s been pretty traumatic, … I thought we were kind of set there in a lot of ways. It just goes to show in the NFL you’re never sure.

It was smart on his part, but it still took guts. I kind of admire him for doing that.

Now you’ve positioned yourself to play big games, … This was huge for us, really a big deal.

I will be honest and say that I’ve never seen a schedule I like.

Through this entire process we always wanted what was best for Patrick, and in working with him we feel this is where he wants to be. We wish him the best with the Jets.

We felt like we kind of backed up there. We were fortunate to get out of some things with some rolls and stuff, … It was just an evaluation thing. We like Andy, we just...

I like it that after that first Monday, it’s all Sundays until the last Saturday, but I think they should have a rule that if you play on Monday night, you should get to play...

[Gibbs said that Ramsey did not concur with the decision.] This is something Patrick doesn’t agree with. He’s a very competitive guy, … I understand that. But it’s something we’re going to have to work...

The thing I want to emphasize is this: We haven’t done one thing that anybody else can’t do. We have certain rules in the league. Here’s the cap, here’s the numbers, here’s what you can...

Knowing everything that has happened there, playing [in New Orleans] means something.
