Dom Capers Team Quotations

I believe we have our most talented group. We have attempted to stay consistent in following the plan. We have improved each season and I think this will be the most competitive team we've had.

We've got to go back to work and become a more disciplined and smarter team and do all the things it takes to win games. We have a lot of work to do because our opener is right around the corner. I'm convinced that we can get to where we need to be.

He's been a tremendous contributor to that Colts team this year. He's a guy that you always know is on the field because he's got the kind of explosiveness to make plays. So it's hard to think of anybody in the league that's quite like him right now.

Our No. 1 goal is trying to find 53 players that will enable us to have the kind of team that can move forward and accomplish the things we want to accomplish. I saw a lot of good things early.

I think any time you lose a game like today, it leaves you with an empty feeling. We played a talented team and there is a reason why that team was 15-1 last year. We knew going in that it was going to take excellent execution on our part in all three phases of our team. Unfortunately we did not get that, we turned the ball over early.

Overall, we improved as a football team yesterday. We did more of the things it takes to go in and compete and win a game.

Today was certainly a positive step in the right direction. I am proud of the way our team has hung together and continued to battle. We now have to take this win and build on it.

We know Jacksonville has an excellent team and in order for us to go over and compete with their team, there are some areas we have to improve in. But yesterday was a very positive step and we're obviously happy to get our first win.

To beat a good football team like Jacksonville, you've got to convert all of your opportunities.

We can't be a sloppy team and expect to play winning football. We have to be an efficient team with an eye to detail to win games.

Big plays like that are hard to overcome. One play to eat up that kind of yardage is tough. For us to be the kind of team we want to be we can't give up yardage in big chunks like that. We'll go back and work on that and get it taken care of.

I've always talked to my team about focusing on the things you can control. So I got this team ready to play as hard as they could today.

I'm proud of the way our team played today. We are coming off of three heartbreaking last-second losses in a row and we needed this win. We've gotten better and we have become stronger because we've handled the disappointment of those losses the right way.

It's one of the tougher decisions we've had to make because you have such strong feelings about Billy and the kind of team guy he's been. We wish him well and hopefully he has an opportunity to catch on with another team.
