Stuart Schweigert Quotations

If we get even five more interceptions, that could be three wins on the schedule. It could have meant a win today. That's something for us to talk about.

Kerry is a guy who shows great character. He's a guy who's stuck in there. It's hard, because every game he plays is like an away game because he's got the crowd booing him and all that stuff. I give him a lot of credit to come in here and work hard every week like he does. Sometimes people put a lot of pressure on the quarterback, but there are other reasons why sometimes there's interceptions or the offense isn't doing so well. It's disappointing to see everyone put it on his shoulders.

I can just remember him going through his progression, and it was just like picture-perfect, ... Back then, with five wide receivers, he had a lot of guys to choose from. He'd go through 'em, come back to his first one, go to his second one and hit the third one on the second time around for a big play.

Whatever it takes, I'm not sure what it's going to take to get past this time where we start winning these games. But we've got to do it soon.

I thought maybe they would try to exploit those guys a little bit. Even when they tried, they were knocking down passes, making tackles and stopping them short on third downs. It was awesome to see.

Just watching him run around in practice, seeing how fast he is, you could see how he could do that. I really respect him for what he's doing out here. We like to kid him, though, about his scouting job, wondering what he's writing about himself.

I think we have improved every week, ... Of course our record doesn't show it, but if people want to look at our preseason record and try to figure how good the team is off that, I think they are going to be in for a surprise when we come to the regular season.

I think it's great. I've been behind Rob this whole year, and what he's trying to do with the defense. The system works; it just takes a while to get used to it.

There are two teams I'd like to play for. The Texans, who have a lot of young talented guys who can be great players, and the Lions, since I'm from Michigan -- and it would give me the chance to go against Charles Rogers every day.

We're doing the things defensively that we have to do. Apparently it's not good enough to win ballgames.

We knew that if he went out of the backfield that they were going to get him the ball, ... We knew that he was their most valuable player. Even with (Donovan) McNabb and Owens out there we knew that he was the guy that we had to stop.

We have different personnel packages. I think somebody got confused. I was the only thing between (Johnson) and the goal line.

Although he plays very well under pressure, with pressure I think he'll force some balls into the air. He kind of throws the ball in there and tries to let (his receivers) make a play. We have to be the ones coming down with it.

They sealed off the end. Linebacker committed to the left. It was 30 yards between me and him. I saw the corner outside, so I kind of stayed inside, and he broke it out and ran down the field.

Younger running backs who aren't as confident in their blocking ability will line up closer to the quarterback if it's a pass play. If it's a running play, they'll line up fairly deep.

I know they think Julius Jones is the next Emmitt Smith . I played against the guy in college and he's a good running back but he's not a great running back. We knew we were going to shut down the running. That allowed us to get some sacks and pressure on Bledsoe.

I'm exhausted, by everything. This is the third year that I've been on a losing team. I'm tired of it.

I just want to get an advantage -- either in the weight room or by watching film, whatever. I'm very competitive and I've focused 110 percent on football, devoting all my time to football and getting my body in position to compete at the next level.

I know, defensively, we're behind all the coaches 100 percent. We believe in their calls, the people they put in there, and the system. . . . We just have to find a way to win some games.

If you would have told me that we'd do well against the run and have no penalties, I'd say we'd win.

By 1:30 I was back on my way to the airport, ... It really was in and out, but it was a lot of fun. Out of the 17 guys, six were defensive backs, so I felt very confident that the Dolphins were interested.

It's a record we don't want. I think we will have some opportunities this week. I think he (Giants quarterback Eli Manning) is going to try to force some things, especially in the red zone. He hasn't thrown but one (touchdown pass) in recent weeks and might press his luck.

That kind of stuff usually happens to us. To have it happen to them was nice to see. ... It was huge for us.
