Jim Johnson Game Quotations

I think we played a pretty good game tonight. Not necessarily the first quarter and not necessarily at the very end.

That's huge loss for us. But that's part of the game and we'll try and scratch out a few wins.

It doesn't bother me. I know it bothers him, but he'll come around. He was a little bit banged up last Sunday, but he played hard, made some plays in the run game and put pressure on the quarterback a couple of times. That will come. I don't worry about individual stats. I just want to make sure we get the effort -- and he is giving us great effort.

Hollis had a great preseason and he deserves it. He earned it. This is a great game for him.

He had a great game last week (against Baltimore). The name of the game is production and making plays. Last week he was very productive. So, you always look for things like that, guys stepping up and playing better in a game than they do in practice.

It becomes a little bit of a game but we all know that it begins with Vick. He?s a very special quarterback. We tell our guys he is going to make plays.

They look like they?re in shape but we haven?t played a whole game of football. We haven?t seen them play 60 or 70 plays.

They are very balanced. They have a good running game with LaMont Jordan.

None of this was planned by me, which makes it so special. All I did was make sure J-Mac was suited up and into the game in those last minutes. What blew me away was how all his team members kept feeding him the ball; they all wanted the night to be J-Mac's.

There are obviously certain guys we known are going to be here. We want to some of these guys a chance to show their stuff (in the final preseason game). Some guys pop in games and play better than they practice.
