Al Wallace Quotations

I fell down in the mud and here it comes falling down in my lap.

With our legs and knees there is enough bad stuff that can happen on accident. But to allow someone to intentionally take a shot on someone's knees? That's kind of rough. I don't want to say this is how it should or shouldn't be, but this is how we take care of our families. It's not like they are blocking like that to hurt anybody, but once you are hit below the knees anything can happen. I'd like to see (the offensive linemen) stay on their feet.

Cut blocking is not fair, it's going after the legs. It would be the same thing if in NASCAR you were able to shoot people's tires out.

(Barber) is making more plays after the first or second hit. He just squirms out of there. When guys seem to relax, he pops out for 30 or 40 more yards. We're going to have to make sure we get him on the ground.

It's a good feeling to go out and play like we did. So many guys made so many plays today. We gave the offense good position to punch that ball in.

Football was a game that had kicked me around pretty good for a few years. I almost called him and said, 'Hey look, this isn't for me. I'm going to move on with my life.

It's kind of scary. You look at the things they're doing, 4-0 now, it's kind of parallel to what we did. You sit here and think about the Tampa Bay-Carolina situation from last year.

It's going to be interesting. They have a great team. Some great weapons on offense and their defense speaks for itself. We're going to have to prepare this week with the same sense of pride and purpose that we had this week to play a good game in New York.

You try to contain (Vick) as best you can, but once he's in your sights you have to open fire. If you let him make a move on you, he's gone. I just saw him and made the play a couple of times. So many guys made so many plays. We gave the offense good position to punch the ball in. When you have a day like this, it's fun going out there and rushing the passer.

If you look at the film like we did this morning, he's making more plays after the first and second hit. He just seems to squirm out of there and when guys kind of relax, he pops out of there for 30, 40 more yards. He just never stops. You admire that in a back. When we get people to him, we're going to make sure we get him on the ground and nobody relaxes until he is.

You win football games by stopping the run and 1,800 yards this year is definitely a priority for us. He's their leader. They look to him for big plays and if you can stop him, they have to look to more places and put more pressure on the other guys.
