He looks to me to be in better rhythm than he was earlier in his career. That’s part of the growth. He seems to have a grasp of the offense.

Redemption is good. All of us by nature have tremendous pride in what we do. We not only have Ted and Sam wanting to prove themselves, we have some other guys who want to prove...

I know the veteran leaders will help us stay settled down on the road, … It is never easy and composure is a key.

His spirits are OK. I think that is the best you can say.

But then you have a fumble ?

The players right now, like the coaches, are searching for an identity, … With new players on defense, they are trying to find a balance of what we want to do and what the players...

Look, when you go to some stadiums, it’s so deafening that you can’t hear. When you have 15,000-20,000 of the opponent’s fans in there, it’s not deafening. There is a difference. The fans that were...

Potentially, yes, because we have so many young stallions. And now we have some guys who can teach them how to be pros. That’s the key. We’ve got plenty of young stallions, I promise you....

I was nice that (defensive lineman) Pat Williams, Fred and Darren all made plays for us. That’s what we brought them in here to do.

Those are the kind of players that you need to win.

Cold and sticky, like I always dreamed it would be. I’m just happy for the guys. I knew we were going to have to work hard, based on how new I am and all the...

What I see this week is Mike [Bennett] as the starter, and hopefully he has enough conditioning from the [first] game … then Moe will be his spell guy and take third downs. That would...

I told him, ‘Pass your conditioning test, and tomorrow you can go on the field,

Our guys don’t want to play poorly.

The quarterback doesn’t appear to be in good shape,

That would be a perfect scenario, where he works with that offensive staff through the whole week and works with Steve to formulate how the game will be called. Maybe Steve calls the game in,...

I don’t have any doubt that he will play. What level and how long will he be able to play? Come out for a couple plays, let it settle down and then go back in?

I’m not ruling anybody out yet.

He hung with it for most of the game, but didn’t want to put the ball on the ground.

I answered all the questions that the league asked me honestly in the meeting on Tuesday,

Aaron seems to have settled down. This year, he’d miss a kick, he goes back and hits the next kick. That’s a sign of maturity.

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.
