Joe Vitt Played Quotations

Our goal was to be 4-4 at the bye, so that was our first attainable goal that we set out to accomplish. The emotion that the guys played with, and the passion and the character, is just unbelievable. ..I?m glad this one is behind us. We have a bye to get healthy on it?s on to Seattle.

We played good run defense in the first three games, but I think that was a little skewed. We were playing a lot of eight-man fronts. We started to go against some good passing attacks, like the Giants, like Seattle.

There are some things that Dexter does better than him; there are some things he does better than Coakley. He's been in the system two years, he's played quite a bit and he'll be prepared.

This was a great win for our football team. The emotion that the guys played with, and the passion, and the character, is just unbelievable. Every player and every coach on our staff got a game ball. What else can you say?

Absolutely. I thought Jamie really played well. He had the two interceptions which we just can't have, but Jamie all day long gave us a chance to win the game. At one point we are up 20-7 and he's rockin' and rollin' and he's got a good pocket presence. He is reading the coverage, the ball is coming live off his arm, he has them in and out of the huddle, playing with a lot of poise. He'll be our starter. I'm really proud of him but he has to cut back on the interceptions.

The guys played with a lot of passion. They practiced well the last four weeks and had nothing to show for it. I'm proud that they got this win.

It was our playoff game. We played hard-nosed physical football in front of a nationally televised audience against a good team, and I think it's a glimpse of what we could be.
