Marty Schottenheimer Work Quotations

I always like to bring them down (to Qualcomm) to get some work in before the night games. We don't want them to get too caught up in everything when they get out here Sunday night, so this is a nice way to do things.

He's a terrific guy. He worked as hard as anybody. But the approach, the philosophy, were different.

He's a remarkable combination of terrific skill blessed by God, a work ethic unparalleled by anybody I've been around. And his single greatest asset, in my opinion, is his pride. I've gone on record before, and I believe this, that he's the finest running back that I've seen in football.

He's got a tremendous opportunity and quite a challenge. But work has never been an issue for him. . . . He's been a diligent worker. He's been a quick study. He's spent a lot of time with the offensive line as well as the skill people.

At times this can be a difficult business and we have to make tough decisions. These are good football men with valuable experience in this league. I thanked them for their hard work and wished them both well.

The most remarkable thing of this whole football game, and I've been doing this a long time, I cannot remember the last time that I coached a game in the NFL when there was only one penalty. That was absolutely remarkable and unfortunately we had the one. But we'll get that worked out.
