Andy Reid Great Quotations

I have great respect for Dick Vermeil. He has watched over me and took care of me since I took the job here. They are coming off a tough loss to Denver and he will certainly have that team prepared.

He's a great kid. He worked so hard in the off-season. He came back in phenomenal shape. We were looking forward to getting him back out there. He did some good things. For that to happen, your heart goes out to the guy.

He was fine today. He did a great job.

He has a great personality, and it also allows him to be around the football team. He is a positive influence around those guys.

He's a very smart player and is very familiar with our offensive system. He'll be a great back-up to Donovan.

There are plenty of things to work on, but they gave a great effort.

We are counting on him being back. He worked his tail off this offseason to get himself in great shape. He is not going to fall out of shape that fast.

We appreciate all that Corey has done for this organization over the last five years. With the great amount of depth and talent we have along the defensive line, we chose to give Corey and opportunity to sign with another team.

You hate to see anything like this happen. Nobody likes to see that. Tony's a great person with a great family.

Brian is a big part of this offense and a big part of this team as a representative on and off the football field. I'm really happy for Brian. It's a great thing for him and the team to have him signed to a long-term contract. I really believe both the player and the team benefit from each other.

(Defensive coordinator) Jim Johnson had a great plan for him and the players came out and executed it. They played aggressive, emotional football.

That's hard on the players and it's hard on the coaches. Those are guys that are very well liked here and have done a great job for us.

First thing is, he is a great kid. He worked so hard in the offseason to get that thing back and he came (into camp) in phenomenal shape. We were looking forward to getting him back in there and for that to happen, your heart just goes out to the guy.

T.O. came up big. That was a great play he made at the end for that touchdown. He's a great player who stepped up when we needed him.

I never got the feeling like he was trying to do too much, ... If it's not there, and you have to go, you go. I'm never going to tell him to stop running. I'm not going to tell him 'You run too much,' because he has a great feel for the offense. He's very patient with it and he lets things happen.

As we sit here today, I'm not feeling great about it, to be honest with you, ... Do I think it was the right thing to do? Yeah, when you're trying to win the football game, that's the right thing to do. Obviously, they covered it and did a good job with it.

It's sad to see, because Correll came in in great shape. It was kind of a crazy one where no one really hit him. He just made a plant and the thing went out. But we've always kept our heads up. We understand that's going to happen in sport. So the next guy's got to step in and do a good job.

I like T.O., ... I've enjoyed having him here . . . T.O., he's a very visible guy and a great player. Those things happen. That comes with the territory.

Garcia is a guy who's had a lot of success in the National Football League. He knows how to win football games and he's been to the Pro Bowl multiple times. He's a very smart player and is very familiar with our offensive system. He'll be a great backup to Donovan.

It was great to get those two connected. They've got a special thing between them and it showed.

The bottom line is, as bad as it seems today we are two games out of first place in the NFC East, ... We have a great opportunity to go forward here and put the remaining part of this season together in a plus manner.

It's a great situation for our football team, especially to add somebody of this guy's caliber into the mix.

It's even tougher when you release veterans such as Hugh and Jon. They have contributed a great deal to the success of this team over the past few years and we appreciate their efforts on and off the field.
