[Warner visited former teammates before the game and said hello to Rams coach Mike Martz, who turned his old job over to Bulger two years ago.] It wasn't that strange at all, ... This is my team now.

I think you gain something with your teammates when you do, when they see you battling through stuff. I don't know if they look down on you when you don't, but I know there's an increased respect when you do.

The 3-ball's not my game. But I was open, so I said why not take it. Coach (Mike Ortiz) gave me the green light, and it happened.

I should have left when he got here. He didn't recruit me. I had no problem with (former) coach (Mike) DeBord. Kelly doesn't know anyone. I feel absolutely betrayed.

I talked to Coach [Ted] Roof before the game and he was like, 'You know Mike, you don't have to be Dan Marino; you've just got to be Mike Schneider, and that's good enough for our team,'

[In Kurt Warner 's view, the dissection of Giants starter Eli Manning 's game is missing the point.] The thing right now is, this is so much bigger than one guy, ... Everybody has the expectations and wants to point the finger. This is a whole team problem. And that's what we have to face. We've all got to play better.
