Joe Gibbs

We're excited to have Brandon here. We think he'll add something to our program. He's a gifted receiver.

We'll let Patrick go this weekend. I felt we needed to give Patrick a shot. Hopefully he'll play great for us and we're all going to support him. We're going to give him all the work in practice. He's got a tough assignment this weekend in trying to lead us against Philly.

From Mark's standpoint, when he was playing last year we weren't as good certainly as we are now, ... I think we're better now. And hopefully that will prove out to be the case.

Right now, everybody is nervous. I would sure hate to see us go into free agency without (a new CBA) done. The other thing I'm hoping for is the date to be extended.

I hate to kind of lay it on Danny, ... but it's Danny's deal, and I'm going to support him any way I can.

We had so many injuries last year. I was kind of praying that we'd be much more in a good-health situation when we got to the regular season.

For us it was just hard-fought, ... We fought hard all day and kept slugging. That's about all you can say from our side. I was proud of our guys, because they had great heart like that.

We fought hard all day and kept slugging. I was proud of our guys because they've got great heart. They found a way to win the ballgame.

My heart is still with the offense. Al will probably be saying 'Shut up

I will be honest and say that I've never seen a schedule I like.

Now I was joking, so I hope everybody in Dallas - because I've got a lot of buddies there - I hope they all took it as a joke. But to anybody that didn't, I apologized.

Our guys in the fourth quarter are fighting their guts out. I would hope that they'd start the game like that.

Maybe we just like winners. We hope some of that will carry over to the Redskins.

Bowen stayed at a local hospital for a second straight night for observation. But the team's worst fears -- internal bleeding -- were alleviated after an MRI exam came out negative. He's very sore, ... so they're going to be cautious about it.

I attributed quite a bit of it to him being hurt.

We've got to look at it as a great win, ... But there's things we need to improve on.

We have a lot we need to improve on, ... We've got a long ways to go. Certainly, I don't think anybody here feels like we're satisfied with our passing game or our rushing game right now, so I think you try to do a good job of analyzing it. But certainly our work, and what we're concentrating on, are ways to get more production. I would say across the board we need to step it up. I don't think anyone is satisfied with what we're doing.

We're all working hard to try to improve it in any way in the league and particularly officiating is a big deal, ... I think we've got very professional people there, and they work hard at it and we need to be a part of helping them and not working against them.

So far this year at least, we have been turning the ball over and we have not been getting turnovers. That formula will kill you.

It's a short work week, so Wednesday is a big day for us because we only get two work days, really. We're going hard and we're going late.

A winning effort begins with preparation.

Failures are expected by losers, ignored by winners.

I thought the first part of the year, when he was healthy, I think that is about as good as I've seen anybody run.

I thought Mark looked real good on Friday. But hopefully he'll be able to take more work this week. We'll need to start this game off absolutely sharp, playing against Tampa. They have one of the best defenses in the league.

It's been pretty traumatic, ... I thought we were kind of set there in a lot of ways. It just goes to show in the NFL you're never sure.
