Nick Harper Quotations

What we did the first game was out-hit them.

Since we have everybody back, we know exactly what we need to do to go out there and get it done. Fly around, make plays and use our speed.

If we didn't get five (interceptions), then we didn't accomplish what we set out to do. We got four. We're going to count the fumble (Smith lost one of his two fumbles). We didn't have a great game. Even though we won, we felt like we didn't play well.

Basically, we've played three (final) games that have no meaning. With that being said, you don't want to go out there and lose any of these games. (but) nobody got down on themselves. We're still upbeat, still high-spirited.

He was very strong. Me personally, I don't think I'd have been able to get up and speak, but he's a strong man.

He has to learn to read defenses. That's hard for quarterbacks, and him coming out and this being his first start, anxiety is high. He was anxious, he was impatient, and we were able to get a lot of big plays against him.

Whatever he has planned, I don't want to see it. He can save it for next week.

I was trying to get it as soon as possible and get to where there were no defenders, find a clearing, and score.

We were fortunate today, the defense could carry the offense for a while. We showed everyone we're for real.

We knew going into the game that disguising coverages was going to be a big key. He has to learn to read defenses. That's hard for quarterbacks. And coming out his first time, his anxiety is high, he's anxious, he was impatient.

There's something about that guy. He always makes plays. It seems like guys are pulling on his jersey and he still gets balls off. It's just one of those days where we know he's going to make plays. We just have to make more than him.

This is going to be a big game for us and a big task for our defense. They're going to come out and throw the ball.

It's a beautiful thing. You know when those guys get clicking, there's nobody in the league going to stop them. They're going to score some points.

It's very disappointing. But, life goes on. It happened. We didn't want it to happen; it shouldn't have happened, but we didn't play Colts ball, and unfortunately, we got an L.

It should get easier for him. He can breathe now. The ice is broken. He can go back, look at his mistakes and learn from the game.

Before he even set his feet, we were in his face.

I don't want to give our secret away, but, yes, he does do that. He definitely looked at his target. He stared down his first read. All we did was take it away.

The first half, we came out, we was flat. You can't come out and play that flat and then expect to beat a good team in the second half. We got away with it early in the season because teams weren't as good. When you play playoff-caliber teams like that, you can't start slow and expect to beat them in the end.
