Charlie Batch Quotations

I expect to manage the game and do exactly what Ben would do if he was in there.

When it happened, he stayed in the next play. After that he went off to the side. But I'm still preparing the same way. You have to be ready for everything.

You try to manage the game and do exactly what you would do as if Ben was in there, ... The offense isn't going to change at all, we're going to do what we do and that's run the ball.

Right now we have to continue on. That's part of the game as you prepare for a season. Whenever your number is called you have to be ready.

Preparation-wise, it's not going to change anything. I won't know until we get to Friday, basically. If Ben practices, I'm sure that'll probably be an indication that he'll play. If he doesn't, I really don't know what to expect.

He basically led this team for the last 10 years when you think about it. We knew why he came back. It was no secret he wanted to finish his career with a championship.

You have to get the timing down with the receivers, and make sure I get the verbiage calling the plays - you don't have to do that running the scout team - and everything has to come back to you. But once you get the game plan down, everything just becomes natural.

That's the objective -- to get the play off before they can substitute on defense,

It's just the situation that presents itself ? the top two guys are down, so, if you look at it, yeah, it's my opportunity,

We had a lot of opportunities but we didn't do very much with them. We have to regroup and get back to practice and work on it. The good thing is we still have two more weeks left; if this were the last game you'd be a lot more concerned about it.
