We need to play as well as we can play, perform as hard as we can perform and see what we can get out of it.

I don't feel like it has any reflection on our friendship to take this job. This is just business. I felt it was in the best interest of our players and our staff for me to accept this job. That was the reason I took it.

It's hard for me to stand up here in this position because Steve is a friend.

It's a bad rule. When he explained the situation, a ball carrier is a passer when he's behind the line, and he can throw the ball, he has all the protection the quarterback has. If he's out of the pocket, he doesn't have to throw it near anybody, just to the line.

We are not going to install much here in a five-week period. We can lean in one direction or another for what is already in, but in a five-week season, which is essentially what we are looking at, you are not going to significantly change anything and hope that they can function. Our practice time is limited.

I've always had a strong feeling that they just want to win. For whatever reason, it hasn't worked out for them.

We need to take these next five weeks, and we need to play ... and see what we can get out of it. I don't have plans other than the next game.
