Desmond Clark Quotations

Nobody will be allowed on our floor but us. And by 11 p.m., everybody is supposed to be in bed asleep.

Rex is more instinctive in terms of being able to make plays on the run. Besides that, I don't think there's too much difference. They both can make all the throws.

Rex is a warrior. I had no doubt Rex was going to go out and play well. He proved he's a good quarterback and can play on this level in this type of game.

I don't think I've ever forced a fumble before. I always played offense my whole life -- a little defense here and there, but not full-time ever. I was just trying to wrap him up, and I might have gotten my hand in there. It wasn't on purpose. I was just trying to get him down.

When he threw it, I was on the goal line and had to kind of stretch out for the ball, ... I knew I was going to have to turn around and get an extra yard and get in there.

We thought we had as good a chance as any. I hadn't made any plans for the next few weeks because I had a firm belief that we were going to be in Detroit (for the Super Bowl).

I thought we would run the ball a little bit more, especially in the first half, but that wasn't a play that was called. They also had a weak secondary, so either way you look at it, whatever we did, we should have capitalized on it. It's not good when they're playing a soft cover-two shell and we don't put up the numbers that we should have put up.

Kyle played good. He played good for his first game.

I'm shooting for the sky, ... There wasn't a tight end that had 80 catches last year, so I'm trying to be on top of the league. But if it's 40 catches and we win 14 or 15 games, then I'm happy. It's not a personal thing because all the personal accolades come when your team is winning anyway. But I'm shooting for 80.

I wasn't able to keep my balance very well,

Whether I'm at home or in a downtown hotel, I'm going to be the same person and pretty much do the same things I'd otherwise do. Of course, you've got some knuckleheads -- but none on this team -- that might try to bend or violate the rules. So that's why they adopted that practice.

Thomas Jones, hands down, no question. See how fast I said that? It's a no-brainer because if we didn't have him running the ball, we wouldn't be where we are now. He carried us through -- heck, he's still carrying us on offense.

Preferably my own rap artists, Fly and ABM. I also might play a little online poker with my laptop.

After the last few games, I felt like I should go to all of the defensive players and apologize personally because the offense hasn't produced. That's just me personally. Once the offense picks it up and scores some points, we'll be fine. When and where that's going to happen, (I) can't tell you.

You want to be the guy to make the big plays, ... Today, the offensive coordinator called my number. If you prepare yourself and they give you the opportunity, you're going to make plays.
