Atrocious, … We were out of rhythm, so we have a lot of work to do on the offensive side of the ball. A lot of work to do.

We had a plan where we were going to bait him into calling certain things and then move. When we did that, we had to be where we were supposed to be when the ball...

This game [at Baltimore] is going to be the same as this week’s – the same thing. Whether they have Ray [Lewis] in there or not, they still have an excellent defense. They still have...

I still remember Marcus running down the left sideline to beat us one time at Soldier Field, … Having him on the No. 1 offense in the NFL [in 2003] gives us an opportunity to...

There are going to be factions in the building, … There are guys that want Mooch to be there, and there are guys that might be happy he is gone.

You got an hour?

I think the only one on a week-to-week basis around here is me,

When you’re trying to win a playoff-caliber football game, you need to have all three parts play at that level. Not only the level of play-making ability, but also the level of poise and the...

It doesn’t make things any simpler, … and quite frankly I’m not happy about it.

That’s exciting, to see that the guys we brought in made plays for us and played at a high level.

He’ll be out again this week. But he continues to get better. There’s still some swelling in there. He’s progressing very nicely. He looks a lot more promising today for Chicago than maybe last week....

This is an insignificant injury, … You can’t keep me off the sideline. MCL, PCL, ACL, cartilage, I don’t really care. I don’t have to tackle or block or do any of those things. I...

We’ll have to wait a couple of weeks for the swelling to go down and get prepared for surgery in the next few weeks. It’s discouraging to us based on everything that has transpired to...

That is really where all the problems stem from, quite honestly. We have to tighten that up. That’s very urgent that we have to tighten that up.

It’s a shame anyone had to lose that. What a great rivalry.

You can build on the good taste you leave in your mouth when you finish the thing the right way.

Offensively, it was atrocious,

Marcus was at the top of our list of receivers in free agency, and the only one we targeted as someone we wanted. To get a guy who has played at such a high level...

We haven’t found a guy that we can count on to get us the yardage that is blocked for the play.

We’ll see how the game progresses. If we have something there’s that is not broken, we’ll leave it that way.

We have two great corners. When you have that, you can be a little more risky.

I can still blow that whistle with one knee or two knees, and I can still yell with one knee or two knees. So my knee has no significance or bearing on us playing Green...

Randy strained his right hamstring. I saw him today; he’s been in for treatment twice. We’ll see. He could be up in some sort of a role, minimal role, or we can rest him.

But the good captain’s got to pilot ship through the rough waters and get it to home port. That’s my challenge as the head coach because it all falls on me.

Defensively, we gave up a couple big plays. Most of those were physical,

[Then they promptly blew through all those deadlines, and took the clock down to 32 seconds before they struck a deal with the Ravens.] You wouldn’t believe how much work we did this year to...

The indications are what he’s communicated to you (media) people that he’s going to make the decision after the season. Hopefully, it’s sooner than later because of the nature of the beast.

You sit there and say, `So-and-so didn’t do this and so-and-so didn’t do that,’ … There wasn’t much there. Anything that they were going to make yesterday, they were going to make on their own.

We’re going to be as good as anybody offensively, … Our quarterback is in a zone.

Well, it’s not the way you want to start out at home. I thought our defense kept us in the game in the first half, and I thought in the second half, (the defense was)...

The story got in the paper, then it got on the web, then it went worldwide, … Then our phones started ringing and people started asking about Moss so we had a meeting and said,...

We obviously put ourselves in too deep of a hole early on.

He runs the ball hard. He’s getting better. … Like any young back, he needs to learn how to pass protect better. But certainly he has put himself in the mix and that’s all you...

We won’t even need a preseason game, I don’t think, to tell who’s going to be our kicker,

You know the old adage. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

It’s all just paper. Consistency is what it’s all about. We have enough talent, but are we consistent? If we are, then, yeah, we’re going to have some fun.

Third down was our downfall. I think it’s as simple as that.

ownership has your back … that they are there for you and want to help probably more than they can help right now.

All the guys I’ve mentioned are playing. I’d just like to see a little more increased role with them to see if these young players can actually carry us to victory against a team with...

I was a little annoyed, … The tone was stern, stern. I didn’t throw anything, but I talked negatively for the first time in two years.

No. No. No. No. When you have eight tackles for losses against you, I don’t see that as being a sign that you’re one of the better teams in the league.

That’s a good thing.

I was like, ‘I guess that means everything’s OK,’ … And I’ll tell you as a coach, when your kicker clanks the field goal, walks up and winks at you, you feel pretty good about...

Yes, I think it’s a good thing. If what we think about the heat is true, we’re very on top of it. … Certainly we want to make sure that we monitor it every step...

We just changed (some) personnel and carried it over to base situations. So, really it was something we had been doing earlier on in the season and having some pretty decent success with. We just...

He’s working the right way,

Any sucker can pilot the ship when everything’s smooth and the sun’s out and you’ve got a pi ”±a colada in your hand with sunglasses and a Cuban (cigar),

Personally, I don’t foresee him playing this week.

With all the young guys, D’Wayne was falling on the depth chart. It was not fair to keep him and then possibly cut him down the line.

If it was a concern, I wouldn’t have shown up. What’s wrong with a little competition? All I asked for was an opportunity to put myself and my program in front of them.
