I have great respect for what Rob brings to the table as I've had to compete against his units twice a year for the past two years. His linebackers always played at a high level and consistently produced big plays.
Kerry gets excited for every game, and I'm sure he'll be a little more here. But you know, he's played enough and he knows you've got to go play. And you've got to play within what we're doing and what the defense is giving us opportunities to do.
He shared my concerns and my thoughts that if we had the opportunity to add a guy who's experienced, who's played and who's won and who's taken his team to the Super Bowl that would be in the best interest of the football team,
I thought we played a competitive game against a championship team. There's a reason why they have won 20 straight games in this stadium.
We played a very good football team. There's a reason why they've won (21) straight here.
When Chris came back, he played well in the last ... games and did a good job on special teams.
Competition makes you better. Rich is our starting quarterback. When you have someone there who has played and won it's a motivational deal and it helps you play better.
We've played three outstanding football teams, ... We're going to look at this and coach off it. We're going to look at the good things we did and the areas we need to get better.
This will help them, ... Everyone thinks it's four games in, but for all those guys, it's eight games in. Those young guys, in particular the rookies and second-year guys, not only is the season long for them, but they played more snaps in the preseason than most guys.

You really don't know, ... You go into games and I'm not sure you know what to expect. I know when we were getting ready to play (Kansas City) last time everybody thought it would be a shootout, a real high-scoring game. And both defenses played at a real high level.

They hit a couple of those plays early when we were in blitz coverage and we turned it back up and played zone. They're good at what they do. They found seams and Plummer, obviously, was very hot in the first half.
You don't feel good about anything when you played the way we played. As a team, I would have to say we didn't do too many things well.
It's as good of a front four as we've played against. Both their ends are outstanding.
There's a lot of things we did well, and some things we didn't do as well as we need to. But certainly, the No. 1 thing we needed to do today was come away with a win. Our guys had played for stretches awfully well, and we haven't finished. We finished today.
There were two ways of going, ... We certainly hadn't moved the ball, we certainly hadn't stopped them. I chose to go into the halftime. If I'd used the timeouts, certainly they would have played the end of the half different than they did
