Jim Johnson Bit Quotations

He's a rookie and makes a rookie mistake ... so we were a bit concerned. But we have to force ourselves to give him more time.

Jevon and N.D. played a lot of plays and were tired. We need to get Cole in there a little more. He's a rookie and makes a rookie mistake ... so we were a bit concerned. But we have to force ourselves to give him more time.

It doesn't bother me. I know it bothers him, but he'll come around. He was a little bit banged up last Sunday, but he played hard, made some plays in the run game and put pressure on the quarterback a couple of times. That will come. I don't worry about individual stats. I just want to make sure we get the effort -- and he is giving us great effort.

It becomes a little bit of a game but we all know that it begins with Vick. He?s a very special quarterback. We tell our guys he is going to make plays.

It's been so much fun the past 26 years. I've always had good teams, but this one's a little bit special because we've worked so hard for it.

We weren't soft. We were aggressive. We were still attacking, but you have to know your opponent. What we did last year might not be the same thing we do this year. It becomes a little bit of a game.
