Age Quotes
We live in an age where there is a firehose of information, and there is no hierarchy of what is important and what is not. Where the truth is often fashioned through a variety of digital means. Are you your avatar? Who are you in social media? What face do you turn toward the world? How much does it have in common with who you actually are?

Best Quotes
Wherever he's at next year, whether it's here or somewhere else, they are going to be fortunate to have Dom Capers. He's one of my best friends in football. I have so much respect for him, more so now than in the first three years, just because of what he's gone through. He's just as strong as a rock on the sidelines. He hasn't changed.

Buffalo Quotes
We didn't do anything right out there, ... We didn't feel comfortable the entire time. I mean, we never felt like we ever got any rhythm going on offense. It was just like last week, kind of choppy, hit and miss. I don't know if guys were looking forward to the Buffalo game or what. But we were terrible.
-
Box Quotes
When someone's in the press box ... they get a different view, so it's their opinion, ... With them calling plays, it's hard to have a conversation as far as what the guy's feeling. And sometimes if you have a phone conversation, it's over in 10 seconds, and you might still have some thoughts, but now I can just grab Joe.
-
Capable Quotes
You get upset, ... You don't really get frustrated, but you question why you didn't go out and execute because you know what you're capable of. ... Hopefully we can clean it up. I know we will. We're going to get better, but it would be nice to be able to come out here, run a couple of plays, get a couple of first downs and get off the field.

Against Quotes
The toughest for me are the guys who guess a lot. The good one I play against every year is Samari Rolle. He doesn't just play it by the book. He plays with instincts. Those are the tough guys for me. They can get beat a lot, other times they can look unstoppable. They jump routes. They sit on certain things. They can make plays on pure instincts and pure athletic ability.
-
Confidence Quotes
I've been here for four years, I know the guys in the huddle who are trying to get it done. My confidence is fine. I'm still going to be the same player. (But) everyone's got to get it done. You can have nine guys, 10 guys doing everything right. If one guy doesn't, you can look bad.
-
Encouraged Quotes
As far as the records go, that has to be thrown out the window for right now when I go talk to the guys when I'm trying to get them encouraged and get them pumped up and ready to play. We have to lock it up, run the right route. I'll hit you and then we'll worry about the record later.
-
Coaches Quotes
A lot of people hate training camp, but in the position I'm in, I need that time, ... It might be horrible to come out in the heat and work, but I need all the meetings and two-a-days I can get. You want to get as much done in order to gain the respect of your teammates, the fans and the coaches before you're actually given the position. I want to do as much as I can in the preseason and on the practice field to say, 'OK, I can take this.' There's a fine line there, but hopefully we'll hit it.

Best Quotes
Everybody was a little shaky, throwing to guys you haven't thrown to before, ... But it was fun. It was good. It wasn't our best day of throwing, I don't think. All the quarterbacks would say that. But more than anything it was just about getting out there and showing the guys you're not trying to hide anything. You just want to play ball.
