Tim Ruskell Game Quotations

We're still in the checking-it-out stage. We want to get through a scrimmage, maybe a game or two and then assess it. ... It's too early. You can't make any definitive judgments.

There's still a few battles left. Those players know where those battles are, and they're all going to try to have the game of their life.

(The Panthers) weren't ready for some of that stuff, which threw them off. And that's how you win big games. Mike's called it great all year long; he's quite a game manager, and he's been a joy to watch this season.

This is my job. I've got some friends on the Atlanta team, and they will always be friends when that's appropriate. So really, the emotion part comes with the players and coaches. You have to be emotional to win the game and they know it.

It was the game where those guys that were new to the team all made contributions. Yet, no one got singled out after the game. It was about this was great team defense -- our best team defensive game.
