Joe Bugel Quotations

He's isolated out there, like 'Gilligan' on the island. It's such a grabby game these days, and he can't play it. But I'll say this: I think he's turned into a pretty good double-clubber.

We didn't play our best ball, ... but we just played with a lot of heart.

We need to get the ball to Cooley more, ... because he's a big-play receiver, especially down in the red area. But we haven't spent too much time in that area the last couple of weeks. We'd like to get down there more often, because how many 70- and 80-yard touchdowns are you going to throw each week? We'd like to say two or three, but, yeah, we need to get more people involved, especially Cooley.

Oh, I think they expected a whole lot when we came back. It was yesteryear, you know. They had visions of that.

He's a mean dude. He'll attack you. You don't have to worry about him holding the flank and blocking for our receivers. I'll tell you what, he's the best without the football we've had. When he doesn't have the ball, he's a raving maniac, and you don't see that too much in the NFL.

He said: 'Could you kindly sit down for a minute?' ... I said, 'Why, am I sick?' He said, 'You're going to be.'

It's time for him to start playing football.

Randy can talk any way he wants in the locker room because he can back up what he says. Randy is very serious on the field. The game's important to him. He's a very focused guy. I love Randy because he wants to be coached hard. Sometimes I'll be all over him like a cheap suit and he begs for more. He's very thick skinned. He wants to be constructively criticized.

Everyone is crawling underneath the bushes right now looking for people. There's nobody coming out of the cracks.

We gave him probably $5,000 to sign and a couple of roast beef sandwiches.
