Trent Green Last Quotations

We know it's going to be a tough game. They've had a lot of success in home openers over the last decade, and we know we're going to get their best.

I think it's important to play. No. 1, that's what my dad would want me to do, just like last week he would have wanted me to play. It would be good for my family to try to get back to some normalcy and hopefully provide a little bit of escape while the game's going on for all of them.

Our biggest thing is we can't fall behind early like we did. We can't become predictable on offense. Where we have had effectiveness over the last four or five years is when we can mix up the run and the pass. When we are effective running the ball then we can get our play-action going. We can get our drop-back going. We keep defenses on their heels and keep them off-balance because they don't know where we're coming.

The last couple of years we've had to spread it out and throw the ball and try and (to) outscore opponents. But the way our defense played today, creating turnovers, I'll take that anytime.
