Robert Ferguson Quotations

We want to go out there and be penalty free and have no turnovers. That's the main thing. We've got take it from there and put some more points on the board.

We didn't win, so (no), ... The plays we had a chance to make plays on, we did. That's what we have to do as a group - make plays when the ball comes to us.

I was going to (have a Pro Bowl year) regardless of whether he got hurt or not, ... Football is all about opportunities. I definitely didn't want it to happen this way. But it is what it is now.

I was going to do that regardless of whether he got hurt or not. That's how I approach this. Ever since my accident, that's been my purpose. Unfortunately, he got hurt and I get more opportunities.

But we kind of knew who was a free agent before the season started, so it's really not a surprise.

I felt bad. That'll go down as a pick by Brett but I could have made the play.

I feel like we're a potent offense - a lot better than 10 points in seven quarters, ... We just have to get something going.

I feel like we're a potent offense -- a lot better than 10 points in seven quarters. We just have to get something going.

He was explaining what I should have done on the play. He's not the type of guy to show anybody up anyway. It wasn't nothing. I mean, he was telling me what I should have done. He didn't tell me anything that I didn't tell myself, though.

He knows what I can do; I know what I can do. I've made plays in this league for five years now, I've made a lot of them for him, so confidence was never an issue as far as him having confidence in me. And I never lacked any confidence in myself.

I think we kind of took what the defense gave us.

Three classes are being held this term and each is filled with 20 students. The classes are already filling for next term as well. The course is clearly becoming a powerful asset to these students.

We're not sticking our chests out, just like we weren't holding our heads down after the losses. The value of it is (in) us showing what can happen if we go out there and perform the way we did.

We didn't have any dropped passes, didn't make too many mistakes,

You have to keep it in perspective: We're still 1-4. We haven't really done anything but won one game,

We went out there and played a good game against a good team, as opposed to the previous four weeks where we were playing bad. That has to say something for our character and for us as a group. That's all that matters.

I understood where he's coming from. I understood then and I understand now.

I've talked to a lot of people about it and out of the four (knee) ligaments, if you had to choose one to get injured, that's definitely the one because it heals faster than the rest,

As far as it feeling like a broken record, if it's going to be a broken record only we can control that.

That's kind of hard to get a good return when you don't practice them coming in short. He kicks it and you're right there at the wedge. We should have gotten more yards.

They said I pushed him in the back.

A lot of them were really stuck in their ways and felt there was no reason to leave. I think of everybody I talked to, nobody left. I persuaded a lot of people to go to the Superdome. Of course, you worry about the people, especially the elderly people. My prayers are with them.

Absurd. The prediction of a 4-degree increase in global temperatures in the next 100 years is ridiculous, and that kind of an increase in sea level is greatly overblown.

It really doesn't make any sense to go out there and risk tearing it again. For once, I'm trying to be smart about it.

Despite economic conditions that have made a portion of our route network unprofitable and unsustainable, we are confident we will return to profitability by reorganizing and reducing our route network to traditionally profitable routes,

I'm not playing special teams anymore. I don't have a choice. I had to go in and get IVs during the game. I can't do that and start (at receiver). I told them, yeah. I'll probably do kick return or something like that. But as far as being on every special team, I can't do that.

I'm not playing special teams any more. I don't have a choice - I had to go in and get IVs during the game. I can't do that and start (at receiver).

I'm going to rehab 24 hours (a day) and hopefully I can assist the team in some fashion on Sunday. That's my goal. The doctor gave me my length of time that I'm out, (but) I have my own agenda now to try to rehab and prove that I can get back sooner than what they think. If I'm 80 percent, 70 percent, 60 percent, there's certain routes that I can run in the offense.

I haven't gotten the ball for five years, so all of a sudden now I'm going to get it? The only way it can be a big opportunity is if I get in the positions Javon was in. If I don't do that, then it's not going to matter.

If I get weepy, I don't want any slow cameras zooming in and music and stuff like that. You don't need to manufacture the drama. My heart's broken, my father's dead.

I don't think anybody's more talented than me in the NFL, period.

The future of our industry is highly uncertain.
