Jim Johnson Guys Quotations

At this level of play, you need guys to step up and make plays and that's why I'm so proud of these guys because that's what it takes.

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.

Our guys are excited, and you could tell when they came back on Thursday after that Wednesday off. They could not wait for the game.

That's a black eye to all the guys who played hard, ... (The team) is going to have to prove to me it can have self control.

Hopefully in the next couple of weeks, these guys will have a chance to prove themselves.

They have guys who can get down field and a guy who can throw the ball down the field. This is a good offensive team and they have one of the best offensive minds in the NFL in (head coach) Norv Turner. This will be a big test for us.

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.

Vick, besides running the ball, makes a lot of deep throws, so our guys are aware of that.

We have some gaps in our defense, ... Enough room for fast guys to (get through).

I think we are playing pretty good defence right now. To say I wish Corey was not here, no I wish he was here, but he's not here and, I said it before, we just move on. It's an opportunity for those other guys that are playing pretty well.

That's the thing I'm most upset about. I think some guys have lousy self-control and they demonstrated it.
