Mike Tice Good Quotations

Potentially, yes, because we have so many young stallions. And now we have some guys who can teach them how to be pros. That's the key. We've got plenty of young stallions, I promise you. Look at our roster. But we needed some veterans to show them how to be good pros. We've got some of those guys now.

I was like, 'I guess that means everything's OK,' ... And I'll tell you as a coach, when your kicker clanks the field goal, walks up and winks at you, you feel pretty good about it. I really like Paul. I think he is doing a great job.

He'll be out again this week. But he continues to get better. There's still some swelling in there. He's progressing very nicely. He looks a lot more promising today for Chicago than maybe last week. So that's good to know.

But the good captain's got to pilot ship through the rough waters and get it to home port. That's my challenge as the head coach because it all falls on me.

He didn't look like he needed water. He looked good on film, too. He had a fantastic practice. He was sharp. He was crisp. He got all his blocks.

Rod is a really good run stopper, ... Playing against a run team, Rod is going to be in his element. If Rod had to start, this is the perfect type of team for Rod to start against.

Keith plays special teams, he plays linebacker, he plays rush defensive end. We have a 3-4 package that we named after him. He can rush the passer, he is doing a real good job playing coverage. ... Those are the kind of players that you need to win.

I think the guys on the football team like each other. I think that's important. We have good chemistry right now and a lot of guys are pulling for each other to be successful.

The quarterback doesn't appear to be in good shape,

You can build on the good taste you leave in your mouth when you finish the thing the right way.

Yes, I think it's a good thing. If what we think about the heat is true, we're very on top of it. ... Certainly we want to make sure that we monitor it every step of the way.

Offensively it was atrocious. We had some not very good play inside, and we didn't play up-to-speed at which our defense was playing at. We looked too big and too sluggish. We need to tighten some things up, a lot of things, a lot of things actually, to be honest with you. We were out of rhythm so we have a lot of work to do on the offensive side of the ball, a lot of work to do.

I've never felt this good about our depth at cornerback,

Chris was a good player for us for a number of years,

good to go for Sunday or if he needs to shut it down.

That'll give us all a good taste in our mouths when we leave the building on Monday afternoon.

We're going to be as good as anybody offensively, ... Our quarterback is in a zone.
