Jim Haslett Job Quotations

My job is to get the team ready to play wherever we play, so I really don't worry about the location.

I got a nice e-mail from Tom Coughlin . 'Thinking of you.' How about that? He said he thought I was doing a nice job handling things. I'll tell you what I wrote him back.

He's got great ball skills, and he has a lot of intangibles. The question on him is tackling, but he had three tackles last week. He did a pretty good job in that area.

Jimmy's done a good job with that team. He's got a lot of ideas and has good football instincts. Being the son of a football coach for all those years kind of rubs off on you.

Penalties in the running game, pre-snap penalties, that irks me. Because to me, that's not focusing. You're not focusing on your job and you're undisciplined. You need to take care of your business.

I think the guys have gone a great job of focusing on football in practices and meetings. It did not reflect that today. It didn't carry over.

I think the NFL had all good intentions of raising money, and I thought they did a great job with the fundraiser, ... But I don't think it was fair what they did to this football team, having us travel to a hostile city and play in that type of environment to win a game.

I thought we did a good job all day,

We just didn't get the job done today, ... But, I told the team that it was just one game and we have a short week to prepare for Minnesota.

We figured we weren't doing a very good job stopping the run, so let's get some guys in there that can change the pace a little bit. We're going to look at everything.

We're still only 1-0, and we've got 15 more of these to go. But our team is very resilient, and they've done a great job of handling the situation.

The whole thing was a great cause and the NFL did a great job of raising money for the Gulf Coast,

There is something that comes up every day, ... You just have to kind of go with the flow and just deal with it. If I overreact to everything that happens, first of all, I would probably be in the nuthouse. I don't want the players to overreact. They have done a great job of handling any situation that has been thrown at them.

defense is a mind-set. You can't just do your job one time. We've got to win more one-on-ones. The defensive ends are the ones who are hurting us the most. They're letting runners get to the sidelines. The interior people are doing pretty well.

I really think that every single player on our football team has done a good job under the situation. Nobody's complaining about what we're doing and what we're going through. They have understood that it's going to be different until we get into some type of normal routine, if we can ever get into a normal routine. So, it's been good. I think everybody has really stepped up.

It was a bad environment to win in, and I'd be lying if I didn't say that. And, we didn't do a very good job of handling it. It's a tough situation, just like everybody on the Gulf Coast all the way to Florida.
