Derrick Brooks Good Quotations

It appears we got dominated. We're a defense, really as a team, that does not give up 34 points, and today we did. The most disappointing thing is we had a good week of practice, and today we didn't show up.

We have a good defensive team. You have a good group of guys who made the team defensively so I wasn't surprised we went out there and played well.

I feel real good about it. Maybe it's because it's a younger team that everyone thinks doesn't have a chance and they don't know any better. Maybe it's myself feeling the heat and knowing I've got to turn it up. I don't know what it is, but it has a better feel. We're not all looking for answers now. We're just lining up and trying to play football.

Everyone feels the same way we feel, that their chances are just as good as ours. If everybody is not feeling that way in this locker room, I hope to have a conversation with them.

In 11 years, I've done it eight times. I believe in keeping a good team together. So far, if those conditions are the same, if it's a two-way street, then we'll do it.

It's just the first leg of the championship - division, conference and Super Bowl. As good as this feels, we're looking to feel even better next week.

As good as this feeling is we're looking to feel even better next week.

In this game there are so many rules favoring the offense. To see a little defense being played is a good thing.
