Joe Vitt Playing Quotations

When these guys came in today we didn't put candles in the room and have organ music playing and violins, and the grim reaper around the corner. It is what it is. Hey, we lost the game through our own mistakes, through needless penalties.

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.

I'm worried about Sunday. He's not playing Sunday.

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.

This is the last week, with nothing to play for and we worked a lot of extra hours to try to scheme Dallas a little bit. Our players bought into it. I am very proud of them. We talked earlier in the week. You are putting your resume out there. We are playing the last game of the season, national televised game, we didn't know whether Dallas would be playing for a playoff spot or not.
