Norv Turner Football Quotations

Denver is an outstanding football team. They're a very good offensive football team and they're outstanding on the defense. I think they're a complete football team. Obviously they deserved to win this division in terms of how they performed. I felt our guys came in here and fought and competed. We just weren't able to match the things they (Denver) were able to do.

Denver is an outstanding football team, they are a very good offensive team and outstanding on defense, they deserved to win this division. Our guys fought and competed, but we just weren't able to match what they were able to do.

We've played three outstanding football teams, ... We're going to look at this and coach off it. We're going to look at the good things we did and the areas we need to get better.

He's an outstanding football player. I mean, he's a physical guy that brings it. He's a competitive guy. In that game, he looked to me like he misjudged the player's speed. He was in good position, and just didn't take account of his speed. That, unfortunately, happens to guys in this league. But he's one of the better safeties in the league.

He shared my concerns and my thoughts that if we had the opportunity to add a guy who's experienced, who's played and who's won and who's taken his team to the Super Bowl that would be in the best interest of the football team,

He's a very, very smart football player, ... When you have a guy who has that kind of versatility, it's unbelievable in terms of having injury situations.

I think he's one of the best receiving backs I've been around. His hands -- he can really catch the football.

We played a very good football team. There's a reason why they've won (21) straight here.

There were three times where we gained enough yards for a first down ... and had penalties that knocked us back. If you do that, particularly in the environment we were in, against a real good football team that pressures most quarterbacks they play against, then you're playing into their hands. It didn't help us in terms of protecting (Collins). We need to stay out of those situations.

The wear and tear of playing that type of schedule took its toll on this football team, and we were not a good football team in the second half.

Everyone wants to get into those conversations, ... but the biggest thing for our team is to keep competing and fighting the way we have. ... What we need to do, obviously, is to go win a football game.

Its just a matter with young guys, getting them into your system. He's grown a lot in everything in terms of the meetings, the weight room, his work habits, his study habits. He's becoming a very consistent football player.

I said it early in the year when we were 0-3, we're a lot better football team. This morning I looked at our first Kansas City game. We're two plays away from winning that game. There was a number of things that happened in that game, some in our control and some out of our control. That was certainly a game we could have won. Kansas City won the game, they're 4-3. We lost the game, we're 3-4. That's where this league is a little bit.

I'd like to think we can get the football in (from that close).

Some we brought on ourselves. Three times we had enough yards for a first down, and we had penalties that knocked us back, so that we were facing either first-and-20 or second-and-20. The environment we were in - a real good football team, and a team that can pressure the quarterback - we were playing into their hands.
