We think we can do a lot of things, other than play hard, and still control a football game. We need to learn you can't do that. We're so damn blue collar that if we don't go out on the football field and play hard, we're not going to get results.

Whatever happened on that football field ... we we're wrong in doing it. We need to learn to back away.

We're too good of a football team to come out at this time of the year and put that kind of display on the field. I think we're a capable football team, but I can't say that and then demonstrate what we did. What you see is what you get, more often than not.

We played great character football in the second half. We had some kids, who are not starters (and) who were not defensive specialists. They were kids that we had to borrow to put in there to makeshift and do some things. We had a lot of people playing the whole way. We probably should have started it like that.

The only thing I have control over, ... is to try to get our football team to play as well as it can play, and have them realize they are playing against a team which has talent, coaching and tradition. And we are on the road before 110,000 people. Unless you're stupid, you've got to understand that.

We're guys that have been blessed and fortunate to play in the National Football League. By no means is this for financial gain. I'd enjoy doing it if I didn't get paid. I love coaching football and having a chance to help kids grow up.
