Dick Vermeil Guys Quotations

You just stop and think about the injuries he's had, and to line up each week with guys off the street and to bring back a quarterback that's retired ... it's a tremendous tribute to Herman and his staff.

I thought it would be tough to run on these guys like we have because they've improved their down four (linemen). They had more than just three different guys than they had last year.

You can't ask guys to play harder than they did today.

He didn't throw a punch. He's the most intelligent guy on this football team, ... He knows what he can and cannot do. He did not throw a punch. Five or six other guys did, though.

Oh yeah, sure. There are degrees of sprains and we've had three or four of them this year already and guys come back and play. But you don't know until you get a few days away as to how severe it is.

They couldn't have picked a better team to send down there and play well ? that's the way we're approaching it. We'll go down there and play our best football game of the year. The guys are in a good frame of mind. They accept it. We would have liked it to be a different way, but we have no choice.

It's a very big win. These guys played like they had a chance for the playoffs. They played with great intensity and pride.

They hit him too many times, ... and that's a credit to those guys over on the other side of the line of scrimmage wearing that lightning bolt on their helmet. We just have to get better.

They hit (Green) too many times, and that's a credit to the guys on the other side of the field wearing that lightning bolt on their helmet.

We've still got a ways to go. Obviously, (the new players) have made a contribution. Sometimes they make a contribution with their presence as well as their performance because they motivate other guys and they make other people fight a little stronger for their position within the roster.
