Andy Reid Good Quotations

We are better when we spread the ball around. We are more effective as an offense when we do that and I didn't do a good enough job during that first game mixing it up.

We put him through a couple extensive workouts and he handle it very well. This is the first time he's kicked two days in a row. We feel good about him. We feel he'll be OK for Monday night.

They were criticized a little bit, rightly so. They stepped their game up and that's what good players do when they're put in that position.

I like his size and the way he runs the football. I thought he did a nice job of catching the football and I thought he was good in blitz pickup, recognizing people coming. Before he went to Miami, I thought he was a heck of a running back and he was in a numbers situation down there and his number was out. He is a good football player.

I could have done a better job there. We take a lot of pride in playing good defense; the second half, we could have done a better job there. I probably could have put our quarterback in a better position the last part of the game, with some better protections, to help him out.

T.O.'s a good person. I'm concerned about when T.O. and I are face-to-face and talking, ... Things happen in this business. You work through it, and that's what we did.

We had a couple of injuries and didn't play too well. We need to all be better, starting with me. That's the part that needs to be taken care of. Every individual needs to get a little bit better. Good things will happen when that takes place.

It was a day-to-day thing, and it was a matter of getting the swelling out. We're not home yet. He worked it today, and we have to see if the swelling stays out. He's been living in the training room with Rick Burkholder. He felt pretty good today.

Lamar is a big back with good speed and quickness. He also has the ability to catch the ball which will help him in this offense. He's a talented, young running back who should be a good compliment to the rest of the backs on this team. We're look forward to getting him into Philadelphia and onto the practice field this week.

He did some pretty good things in the second half. He made some plays, both with his arm and feet. He was able to settle down and was efficient.

We just have to keep an eye on it. It happens once or twice a year, so we will keep an eye on it. His weight is down and he really is in good shape, so he will bounce back.

We understand it's never as good as you think and never as bad as you think in this league. Mike Nolan's putting together a football team right now, working his tail off to get that thing right. He's got a bright future ahead of him.

Reggie is well deserving of his Hall of Fame induction. In my mind, he will go down as the greatest defensive end in NFL history. He was a great teammate and a fun player to coach. As good as a player as he was on the field, he was an even better person off the field. He left a lasting legacy, both in the NFL and in the community.

I've said that from the beginning. Both of them are good people.

He's good at everything. He's good at running the football, receiving the football and, obviously, if they need him to throw the ball, he's good at that, too.

He's going to go in there and compete. He has a couple of good players ahead of him and those guys are not going to lie down and give up their spots. It will present competition for him and the players in front of him.

He's done a nice job with the young kids. They all look up to him, respect him. He's always done what he needs to do. He's a good example.

He did a good job. I didn't want to see his back go out but I thought he did well for only practicing for a week.

He has the ability to catch the ball, which will help him in this offense. He's a talented, young running back who should be a good complement to the rest of the backs on this team. We're look forward to getting him into Philadelphia and onto the practice field this week.

There is a lot of room for improvement, but we also saw some good things,

It was a good meeting, ... He was out there practicing and practicing well. He did a nice job. . . . He was fine today.

It was a good meeting. He did a nice job. He worked very hard.

L.J. continues to improve and play at a high level. He is doing some good things out there. T.O. likewise is playing some good football. They came out and had a plan for Brian and were going to double him as much as they could. He got himself free and made some big plays.

We've got a good nucleus for 2006. With another draft, and free agency, and the opportunity to get some guys healthy, expectations will be high.

We thought he was a good college player. Jim Harbaugh was his coach down there, so we had a little bit of insight. He's a big kid that had pretty good numbers at that level and we wanted to give him a shot.

I wouldn't bet on it right now, ... He doesn't look good today. That is without the doctors taking a look at him; and I am far from a doctor.

I wouldn't bet on it. He doesn't look good today.

As I said earlier in the week, Corey's a good player and his personality fits very well in our locker room. He's a talented player against the pass and the run. We're happy to take this step to keep him in Philadelphia.

They had a big challenge in there. That's a pretty good defensive front. To come out and be able to put together a 100-yard-plus game is a tribute to those big guys.

One of the things that's pretty obvious is you can't get down by four touchdowns against a good football team like we did Sunday. We have to start faster. We realize we haven't done a good job of that this year.

I think the most important thing is that you go through the process and you work hard. If you do that, usually good things will happen.

We didn't do a very good job against (the blitz).

There's not a lot of good you can find in this game. Offensively, we were ineffective in everything we did. We didn't play with enough emotion on either side of the ball. We didn't start off well and we didn't finish well. It was an unacceptable performance in all phases.

I need to do a better job of putting my players in position to make plays on the offensive side of the ball. On the defensive side, I saw some good things.

I thought he did a good job. He did OK. On the other hand, I thought T.O. had a nice game, too.

I thought, all in all, it was a good job. All phases did a pretty good job.

I was very happy with what I saw. I thought it was important that Donovan did well against a really good defense, and he did a nice job.

We will look at all phases and we will make sure we learn from the experience and we take the good from it and try to get better as a football team. With the character of players I have here, I know it will take place.

He thought it went well. He felt good about it.

I did have a visit with him and it went well. We mainly talked about football. He was anxious to get back out here and get himself going and playing and catching up on the things that he missed. But he did a good job today.

They were rolling to T.O. and they were manning up and doubling up on the backside with Greg. That left L.J. in a one-on-one situation. He's pretty good at those situations.

He played against good enough players to get an idea of what he can do. You have a pretty good idea of what he can handle.

He probably got a little more work than I necessarily wanted him to get today, but he battled through it and did a good job. He didn't look too far behind. He did pretty good with what we gave him.

Mobility was a factor, ... We thought that if (McMahon) got into trouble, he could gain some yards with his feet. ... He did a good job. I have not had a chance to talk to the coaches and the players about it so I am not going to say something here.

We?ll let the young guys play and see what they can do. We?ll make a decision after that. I?ve been pleased up to this point with the backs.We?ve got four backs that we feel pretty good about.

It's a nice addition to a good football team. When you put him right in the mix with (the rest of the offense), it presents itself to be an explosive package.

He's a great kid. He worked so hard in the offseason. He came back in phenomenal shape. We were looking forward to getting him back out there. He did some good things. For that to happen, your heart goes out to the guy.

He's a great kid. He worked so hard in the off-season. He came back in phenomenal shape. We were looking forward to getting him back out there. He did some good things. For that to happen, your heart goes out to the guy.

He's a good pass rusher and he's stout enough up front to where he holds his own. We played against him (in the season-opener in 2001), so we know what he can do.

We have a good nucleus of players who have been here, ... and they understand what we are all about, what we are trying to accomplish. And that is the strength of the football team.

As we sit here today, I'm not feeling great about it, to be honest with you, ... Do I think it was the right thing to do? Yeah, when you're trying to win the football game, that's the right thing to do. Obviously, they covered it and did a good job with it.

I think I could have called his number more. We are better when we spread the ball around; I think Donovan hit 11 guys. And we are better when that happens, because it has more of an effect on the offense. I didn?t do a good enough job in that first game of mixing it up.

There were some good things and there were some bad things. I think today there were a few more good things.

There were some good things and some bad things in this game. We're going to take both and learn from them and get ourselves ready for this weekend when San Francisco comes here.

It's sad to see, because Correll came in in great shape. It was kind of a crazy one where no one really hit him. He just made a plant and the thing went out. But we've always kept our heads up. We understand that's going to happen in sport. So the next guy's got to step in and do a good job.

You evaluate how well the young guys did and how they could fit into the plan next year. You also evaluate the 16 or 17 injured-reserve guys. That combination should give us a pretty good shot next year.

They came in and they took care of what they could control. ... I've got a veteran group that is a pretty good example to the other guys on how to do this thing.

He came in here and did a good job. He brings a lot of ability to the field, and he's an intense player.

I was being a little bit cautious with him yesterday and he didn't want any part of that, ... He felt good and went out and made all his throws. I was not sure how he was going to do with the deep ball yesterday, but I think he answered that. He threw the ball well.

I worry a bit about the chest that keeps recurring. He took a pretty good shot there and we have to get that settled down a bit. And I guess you can put the abdomen strain right up there, too. That's bothering him. I think the shin will heal up a bit, too.

It's good to have him back out there.

I will say it?s good to go on to the regular season. Especially after tonight?s performance.

I think they'll look at our record at Lansdowne Road, ... There are not many teams that come and get a good result - we have turned it into a fortress and they know that they're going to be in for a tough game. Everybody is going to be working their socks off. On top of that we've got a lot of quality players and that will frighten them as well.

It felt good yesterday. Toward the end it started to get a little tight on him in the second practice. It's the same as it was the day before. We got to go back to the drawing board here, see how he does today, and then within the next couple days we will see how he's feeling.
