Henry Burris Quotations

We've been trying to cut down on our turnovers and we did a good job in this game. When you have another team turning the ball over, you want to take advantage. They took advantage of situations and we didn't.

To get a guy like Jamie back, he's our cornerstone, our leader,

Guys all across the board made some good catches, great plays for us,

He's been in the league like 80 years. I think he played with Normie Kwong.

He knows all the calls and all the checks, ... Having him there keeps everyone relaxed.

We haven't been in a situation this season where we've had to go 'silent count,' so we're getting ready in case we have to do it against Saskatchewan. We're preparing for every situation ... It's a hostile environment but that's what you have to expect this time of year, wherever you go to play.

We knew it was going to be hostile, ... I had some fun with the fans during pre-game, but mostly I ignored them, until the final 20 seconds, when I started celebrating with the guys.

They have great players over there, so I expect a great pass rush every time you play those guys,

They have great backups too. You always expect a bunch of pressure from them.

I told him to get ready to be successful up here because we'll get him the ball, ... When you got a guy with that type of skill, you have to get him the ball because there's too much ability to not do it.

The body's going to take some hits this week, so we have to be ready but I still have to go out there and play quarterback, execute the plays and make sound decisions.

The best thing we ask for is to give ourselves a chance to win. I like what we did in Montreal but we just didn't finish it off in Toronto.

It's disappointing, period, because we had a chance to win it,

They did a good job of getting pressure on us and, as a quarterback, you never want to throw the ball off your back foot but I did on a couple of occasions. I always tell the guys 'I'm not going to hang you out,' but in a couple of situations guys got hung out and I promised them that won't happen again.

Their fans back the 'Riders with as much passion as any fan base in all of sports,

If you aren't mentally tough and you go back into an environment like that, you're dead.

This is only the first half ? we've got to get the victory next week,
