Jake Plummer Quotations

I didn't do much but just guided them down the field.

I didn't do much I just guided them down the field.

Mike looked awesome. That's a guy who's hungry to get out there and play.

When they start talking about somebody's beard, that's when it gets a little ridiculous. Come on. This is football. If I wore a green shoe and a blue shoe it doesn't make a difference in a game. The beard doesn't make a difference. But that's the scrutiny we live under, that I live under.

I don't want a kid to come in here and be hurt, ... But it's football. You can't make the club in the tub. It's an old saying. Joe Greene used to say it all the time.

I had rib injuries and they're not fun or pleasant.

But fans buy a ticket, they can boo, cheer, call you names, say good things. We've got to go play ball.

We thought we would get an opportunity (to make big plays),

He's hard on himself because he knows he can play better. But we all can play better than we did last week.

Whatever it is, we have to find a way to get over it. All I know is (that) I'm proud of the guys for hanging with me, hanging together and not giving up.

Passes that I threw in college up the middle of the field that were complete were now intercepted and coming right back at you. It's the quality of players. They don't let you make many mistakes.

Later in the season, you don't remember how they came, you only remember it's a win.

Those final guys should feel pretty privileged and feel pretty special because it's going to be a very good group.

We got the running game going and our defense dominated them on the other side of the ball...We just kept working hard. We played some tough defense.

We got beat in all phases. It's one game. We're all running out of here mad, but there are 15 more games.

We ran the ball well, which opened up the boots and the play action. I didn't do much but just guided them down the field.

want to be more involved with what's happening in the world and in my life. There are too many things happening to just be focused on golf and working out.

We knew the whole off-season what we were working for, it wasn't just dashed in the first game.

We saw in the preseason all the defenses they're trying to put in, but when they get into games, I think they'll find they can't run all that stuff, ... It's just like our offense. We didn't show everything. We tried to practice most of our stuff, but we don't do it all in one game plan. There's only 60 to 70 plays. So we don't know what to expect. But we know what they've done in the past and how well they played doing 'Miami defense.'

We keep pinning it on our defense to stop a team there in the last minutes. They've come through for us a couple of times but doing it again to them is unfair for us, offensively.

We knew we were going to get a couple of shots. They panned out like that.

During the week, if there's little things I might see, I might say something, but they're usually on top of it before I see it, ... With the type of offensive minds we have here, I'm not going to compete with that.

Being thrown in the fire was definitely tough,

Every day when I'm out there, he's an inspiration to me, ... I think about him every day. When we complain about something at practice, something little, I think about Pat. He'd die to ...

You aren't going to have someone fly in and tag the holder, ... You do that kind of stuff and there's going to be some bad stuff happening around the field.

We want to win our division. It's been awhile, and we want to play at home in the playoffs. You can't do that until late in December when those crunch-time games come. So for right now, we've got to focus on Miami and get off to a good start.

Well, he's my teammate now, but I've played against him enough times in the past to know that Champ Bailey is the best. The biggest reasons are his cover skills and his ability to make you pay for any mistake you make. When you don't think he's in position, and you try to take advantage of that, he has such great ability to break to the ball and make up that ground. He'll make you pay, and that's just great cover skills and pure athletic ability. He also doesn't take plays off, so he's always giving you his best.

We didn't make the most out of the opportunities we had. When you play a defense like that, you can't miss opportunities.

We'd been standing there a long time. It would have been hard to get back out there as an offense and get back ready for overtime.

They (the Broncos defense) allowed our offense to hang in there and they hung in there with us. I'm proud of the guys for hanging with me, and hanging together and not giving up.

During the week, if there's little things I might see, I might say something, but they're usually on top of it before I see it. With the type of offensive minds we have here, I'm not going to compete with that.

I'm surprised and shocked that we're still talking about it, ... We're playing San Diego this week and they're division rivals. You guys are talking about it amongst yourselves. We're moving on. . . . We're not going to sit here and mope and whine. We're not going to sit here and worry about what we did down there. It's over. It's done. We don't like how it happened, but now the only thing we can do is go play San Diego.

I'm trying to be smarter with the ball. We are getting leads, so we don't have to throw all the time. If you can do that, you can be smart with the ball and not make mistakes.

I'm young. My finger was broken once in my career. Other than that I've had no broken bones. I'm a healthy kid. I'll heal fast. There's still a lot left in the season. That at least makes me happy knowing I can come back in three, four, five weeks and have an impact.

Game plan, they fax it to me on Tuesday night. That's my input on the game plan.

A gutsy call. . . . In the huddle I was like 'Oh boy, I hope this works.' They came down in the right defense . . . really Ron had to catch it, that was the most important thing, and go.

And off of what he did last year and all off-season, we're going to continue to go to him.

It's nothing major and with a couple of day's rest it should be OK.

It's nice that he's back. If he gets a chance to go out there, he'll make sure that he will play hard. That's the kind of player he is. He will be excited to be back here.

As a businessman, it's a chance to go out and explore a little bit and to keep my word with Chicago,

They played really as good as I've ever seen a defense play,

There's a lot of games left. I gave him a couple chances early and he didn't come through, and I missed him on Monday a couple times. But we'll get on the same page. There's no panic, ever.

We lost a unique individual that touched the lives of many with his love for life, his toughness, his intellect. Pat Tillman lived life to the fullest and will be remembered forever in my heart and mind.

It was on Monday. I was fine all day, ... I got up off the couch and felt a pop in my foot. It actually just felt almost like a strain; I thought, 'Well, it's just a strain,' because I still had some bruising in there and it was still tender.

It's going to be a big challenge for us. But I think we've stepped up already in the past and we know if we want to get a win, we are going to have to step up this time.

It's been a great season so far. It's not the end of the season, ... With the treatment that I'll receive and the stuff we're going to do, I'm going to get back as soon as I can.
