Kerry Collins Good Quotations

Obviously, this game holds special meaning for me. I had five good years there and I'm very appreciative of everything that they did for me when I was there. At the same time, obviously, it was tough the way it ended and there's certainly a little bit more emotion involved in this game for me than any other game.

The only good thing I can say is the that river was low going into today,

I always believed that things would come full circle, ... Even during the bad days, because they were so bad, I thought there were going to be good days some day.

We did have to alter our game plan a little bit, but not a whole lot. I think guys stepped up and played hard and did a good job.

Whether it is the dropped passes or the interception I threw, they are a good defense and make you do some things to take you out of your comfort zone.

We've all got to be good at moving on in this business. I've moved on. Sure, I was disappointed with the way things went. But I came out here and shifted my thoughts and concentrated on doing well out here. That's all gone under the bridge as far as I'm concerned.

We feel like we have a chance to be a good offense. I think we've showed some of that in the preseason. But we'll find out Thursday night. I'm excited about it. It's a big challenge for us, and I think guys are ready to go. But at the same time, we know it's a big task, and we've got to approach it like we're going into the most hostile environment imaginable, and we'll have to handle it that way.

Their ability to go deep is about as good as any two receivers you could put together in the league. T.O. looks like he's at the top of his game, Randy looks like he's at the top of his game. And you'll probably see two of the best receivers in football out there on Sunday.

The guy has worked his butt off to get back to where he was, and he was just now getting back to being 100 percent. It's just disappointing because he's a heck of a player, and you hate to see good guys like that and good players get injured.

They do a good job rushing the passer, ... It's one of the least talked-about parts of their defense. They mix fronts and give you a sound rush ... I wanted to get rid of the ball (on the interception), throw it away, but I got hit.

It seems like they have more leadership over there. They have some veteran guys who have played in this league and know what it takes to be on a good defense.

It's a testament to the organization and to Mr. Davis that they're willing to go out and do those kind of things and get guys like Randy in here, re-sign Jerry, getting LaMont. It's a great feeling for me. I'm excited about the year. I'm excited to work hard and just see how good we can be and how we can all put it together.

They're a good team and you can't make mistakes against them, whether it's dropped passes or interceptions before the half or penalties that hurt us.

If he's not in, the thing rolls on. But hopefully we'll have him. With Randy, we have our plays every week where we try to get him the ball. I don't know if it will change too much. I think whoever steps in for him will do a good job.
