Marty Schottenheimer Lt Quotations

At times this can be a difficult business and we have to make tough decisions. These are good football men with valuable experience in this league. I thanked them for their hard work and wished them both well.

We had the long fourth-down situation and Eric Parker and Drew make it down to the 7-yard-line, and I'll be honest with you, I realize there's no certainty, but I felt very confident with where we were. I just felt good that at the 7-yard-line we'd find a way to get it in the end zone.

When we look at our passing game, the one element we have not been able to utilize effectively is LT as a receiver. There is no doubt he has been a terrific receiver for us, and we haven't done a good enough job in getting him the ball.

We will play everybody that is healthy enough to play. Our starters will start, our starters will play, because we have one objective, and that is to get to 10-6.

We did not lose today. We got beat. We're obviously disappointed. This was a difficult game, and the Chiefs did everything they needed to in order to win.

Every time they've been faced with the kind of adversity that injury brings, they've managed to step up. It had to be difficult for them. I counted eight new starters that they didn't have a year ago. That's a problem for anyone.

I have a lot of confidence in Nate, and I felt it was important to get it to a seven-point differential.

I know the young man, and he's tough kid, a tough-minded person. So, you know, I'm sure the ultimate decision will be if he can make it significantly worse. I don't have any question he'll make every attempt to play, because he is a tough kid.

I know where I stand on it. If Drew continues to play well, and we continue to be successful, I don't know how you can do anything but keep him. The ultimate decision must be made on who's the best player.
