Mike Shanahan Football Quotations

He is healthy, ... He said he feels real good and I think the last 10 days or so in New England he felt pretty good. He's getting back in football shape and he should be ready to go.

He said he was ready to go, he felt good. He got a little worn out at the end. He went as long as he could go without probably being in football shape. He felt good to start. He tightened up a little bit.

Pittsburgh deserved to win; they played better than we did. To do what they've done three weeks in a row against three excellent football teams is really an accomplishment.

Yeah, it is frustrating. But there is some good with it. When you move the ball 80 yards on your first drive, and all of a sudden you're on the 1-yard line, and all of a sudden you lose your momentum like we did. When you go against a good defense and you're in long-yardage situations, you're going to be in for a long day, so you can't stop yourself. We're going to play a lot of good defensive football teams this year, so we'd better pick it up. If we don't, then we're going to be inconsistent like we have been the past two weeks.

We are playing the best rush defense in the National Football League, so I hope we have that problem. You always want your players to achieve goals, but I don't think that is a game plan going in. We are just trying to play it as it comes on.

When you are 0-6 and you havent won a game out there, it is a great challenge for our football team, ... It is not with the same team, but it never is.

We just got him signed here about 15 or 20 minutes (earlier), ... He didn't get a chance to practice, but he'll be on our football team.

That's not saying Maurice doesn't have a chance to go on to another football team and make that team and contribute,

It's one of the deeper teams we've had, I believe, ... We'll see in the end if we can keep it going. But the nature of this business is you're going to lose players. It happens to every football team. We've had guys step up and play well and hopefully we can keep it going.

Any time you get a veteran player who has proven he can play in the National Football League, he's going to have a chance,

He's unbelievable. They do a great job with their scheme-making, making it very difficult to figure out where he is, but the rest is him making plays. There are not many plays where he is not involved, and you can't say that about many people in the National Football League.
