Kerry Collins Played Quotations

We did have to alter our game plan a little bit, but not a whole lot. I think guys stepped up and played hard and did a good job.

Obviously I've played a lot in this league and started a lot of games. But when I came here they made it clear what the situation would be. I understood that Rich would be the starter and I will be the guy that's there if something happens to Rich. That will be my approach.

I think the fact we went up there and played well last year definitely should help our confidence going into the game. We know what they're playing for.

Looking back on it, there have been some missed opportunities. I know I've missed a couple of things. Defenses have played us soft; we've tried to get behind them, and it hasn't worked out a few times.

Our defense played great, and we were able to run the ball well. Those are the two keys to winning a game.

They mixed up their front line a lot. We got behind the eight ball, especially in the third quarter. It seemed like we played into their hands, but that's the type of defense they play, and they played it tonight.

It seems like they have more leadership over there. They have some veteran guys who have played in this league and know what it takes to be on a good defense.

He's the real deal, man. I mean, shoot, the guy played outstanding for a rookie last year against some of the best rushers in the NFL and certainly held his own, played well.

These guys played their hearts out today and I'm proud of our guys. The bottom line to this whole thing is wins and losses and they made more plays than we did.
