Chris Simms Quotations

I was scrambling and I hit (tight end) Anthony Becht as he was going out of bounds,

Let's not make too big of a deal of it. Let's just play football. This is just Week 18 in our minds.

I would say our will to win, our belief in ourselves when the game is getting tight. Last year, we were in a lot of close games but for whatever reason we just didn't find ways to win them.

I already think he's one of the top five running backs in the league. In two or three years, there is no reason he shouldn't be No. 1 or No. 2.

He's going to go to a few Pro Bowls. He's completely unfazed by what he's been asked to do.

We just have to come prepared to play next week. And I mean that. We can't take New Orleans (3-12) lightly because they've given us problems before.

Joey and I have a very close relationship; we talk about routes like that all the time. When we come up to the line of scrimmage in that situation, we have two routes in mind.

I think right now it would probably be the smart thing to do, ... But again we don't know a thing for sure. I'm sure Brian is not going to do anything this week.

We were just yelling and hollering that we were NFC South champs. I think everybody was extremely excited. We're pumped that we've got a home game next week.

We wanted to jump out on them. You kind of hope maybe if we jump out on them, they might pack it in. But to their credit, they didn't.

When they feel they're blocked, they sit there and read the quarterback's eyes, ... They would just stop rushing, wait until I throw and jump up and knock the ball down. That shows they're a very aware team.

With a good season this year, I can strike it rich in the future.

We're right in the position we want to be in. If we win, we get the three seed and a home wild card game. That's all we should really worry about anyway.

Until someone beats them in the playoffs, they're the best team in the NFL.

We refuse to win games easy. That is the truth.

We refuse to win games easy. That's the truth, for whatever reason.

Early in the game, they blitzed a few times and we picked it up. We made a few plays downfield and I think it scared them away for a little bit.

We've overcome injuries before. I don't think it's going to alter anything we do.

We had a real fast team down at Texas, and he was the fastest guy on the field that day. He's very impressive. He got an interception off me where I thought I threw it over him, and he showed that 44-inch vertical and went up and got it.

Put him up there as the greatest player in Texas history right now. He might have been there, but to have that performance and that game - what do they call it, an instant classic? That was it.

They still doubt us! They still doubt us!

The power that he runs with in the fourth quarter is amazing.

You see some teams that are demoralized by injuries. We're one team ... that's confident we won't miss a beat whether it's the first-string guy or the second-string guy.

Injuries are going to happen week in and week out in the NFL; it's how your depth responds to that. You see some teams that are demoralized by injuries. I think we're one team that has depth at just about every position. We're confident we won't miss a beat whether it's the first string guy or the second string guy.

If there's one thing that we know that we are, it's battle-tested. We're not intimidated by situations, as far as being down by a touchdown or 10 points. We believe that we can get it done no matter what the circumstance.

Everyone has their eyes on the big one.

It's not a threat, if that's the word, ... All people need to know is that our backup quarterback, Luke McCown, is only in his second year in the NFL and second year in the system. Rattay has been in this system before and coach wants a guy who's been around the block.

The intensity will pick up. Everyone has eyes on the big prize. Everyone knows it's win or go home. It's still football. Try to play smart and put our team in good situations.

He's unbelievable. He's so talented in the open field and when you look at him, you don't think he has the power. I've got a lot of respect for him. He's carrying our team right now.

I didn't see Griese even get hit and then I saw him laying on the ground. I tried to warm up as quick as possible.

He's just a workhorse. He's unbelievable. He's carrying our team right now.

The type of guy Chris Simms is, the person he is, is always going to help him. He's a natural leader. He's a quality guy. He's a special guy. Never mind playing quarterback at Texas, but playing quarterback at Texas being from New Jersey. And then playing quarterback at Texas, being from New Jersey and Phil Simms is your dad. He has already shown he can handle a lot.

It's thrilling. It's one of the best accomplishments I've ever been part of. I'm excited for the team and the fans, as well.

You don't think you'll ever go through a game as exciting as that Redskins game was, but then you have this one and this one tops it.

They are solid on defense, they really are. They're extremely well coached on defense and they've got a lot of talent, especially in the front seven.

They are the best team in the N.F.L. until somebody proves otherwise. I don't care who has what record. They've won three of the last four, and they have proven they can get it done when they have to. Always.

They are the best team in the NFL until somebody proves otherwise. They've won three of the last four Super Bowls' and they have proven they can get it done when they have to. Always.

It's a contract year and there's no hiding that fact, ... I've got 10 games to show what I can do. I want to go out and play great and hopefully keep us on the right path.

We just got beat by a better football team. With a great defensive line like that, you get down, 34-7 or 24-7, it's going to be tough.

We just got beat by a better team.

We just refuse to win one the easy way.

They're a great defense. ... We knew it was going to be a game like this the whole day. But we hung in there and moved the ball on them. I know we scared them a little bit at the end.

He really came up big down the stretch there.

Being a Longhorn, we fight a lot of battles in NFL locker rooms defending our program, ... We are constantly defending ourselves. I understand it, because during my time at Texas, the only team that was close to us in talent was Oklahoma. With them, player for player, it was extremely close in talent. I think it's just a matter of time until we get over the hump.

The last game means nothing. It's a new season right now.
