Joe Gibbs Smart Quotations

That concerns me a lot, ... When we don't play smart football, that really concerns you.

Playing smart was a big emphasis this week, ... and we still had a number of penalties. That's still a real concern.

Yeah, but our guys are too smart for that. We talk all the time about that and they understand it.

We're our own worst enemy, ... I don't like the way we're playing. We turn the ball over and commit penalties. We're making too many mistakes and need to play smart to win football games we're supposed to win. That's why we're here. To win.

We have a smart football team, and they understand,

You try to go within reason, ... and to make sure you're doing smart things. And you take a long, hard look at a game like this and say, 'Okay, what can we do to improve ourselves?' But I think we need to stay aggressive, and I think we all want to be aggressive.

You want to keep the ball, make first downs. You're trying to give yourself a chance to run and, every now and then, mix in the pass. When you lose a football game, you can say almost anything about it, but we thought we were trying to do smart things. Finishing off the game, that's a big deal, and that's what we've got to do.

It was smart on his part, but it still took guts. I kind of admire him for doing that.
