“Without practicing Friday and Thursday, not having one of his better practices [Albert Haynesworth] was de-active.”
“You can’t tackle the way we did … and expect to win. It was embarrassing the way we tackled.”
Albert Haynesworth
“They choose to sit me, they choose to sit me. It’s their organization; I’m just a piece…It would have been nice to play. I talked to one of my boys on the team over there, he was like, ‘Man, I’m happy that you wasn’t playing.”
DeAngelo Hall
“You can bring in Parcells, Belichick, hell you can bring in Hank Stram, it ain’t going to change. [Shanahan] can only work with what he’s got. Eventually we’ll get the kind of guys in here that will help us win a lot of games.”
London Fletcher
“Same old story week in and week out. We’re just not a sound fundamental football team. Poor tackling, probably the worst tackling team I’ve been around, don’t do the fundamental things well: don’t catch footballs; don’t hold onto the ball, don’t tackle well.”
“I don’t know if we understand what competing means. I got this guy one on one, he’s not going to catch a ball on me, if he does he’ll have to work to catch it. You have to have that competitive nature top to bottom, where you want to win, especially in a situation like this it will be the case.”
Casey Rabach
“These last four games are pride games. This is when that will and want to gets tested. From where we were at last year to where we’re at this year, I thought we’d take a huge step. We’re getting there. We’re not there yet.”
Brian Orakpo
“I’m tired of it, I know a lot of people are tired of it. For us to keep going out and getting our [butts] whooped is not a good thing.”
Reed Doughty
“I really felt like we had something different this year. I really did. It’s frustrating to see the way the season has gone.”
Chris Cooley
“There’s 30-year-old men in this locker room. You’re not going to yell at them and boss them around. It has to be addressed by everyone. For us to succeed, the people that want to succeed will be here. They’ll be a part of this team.”
“I don’t think we need to go in on Monday and say this is how we can become a playoff team. We need to go in on Monday and say we need to start playing some football and winning some games. We need some guys to step up and win.”
Donovan McNabb
“I can understand if you don’t have the talent, I can understand if you go into games and it just doesn’t work out for you, but we have the talent and we are very capable of winning these games.”
Jon Embree
“I’m excited about [taking the Colorado head coaching job]. I’m ready to get out there and see what the landscape is like and start recruiting. … It is [my dream job], with it being my alma mater and growing up out there this is the job I’ve always wanted.”
Kareem Moore
“I didn’t keep my head up on the [missed] tackle and wrap him up. Like coach Jackson says, if you miss a tackle it’s probably going to go for a big play. I just hit my gap fast. It’s me and him one on one and just as I’m trying to get him down he made a move and made me miss.”
