«This is one we slipped out of here with. It makes up for Washington and Seattle. Our guys didn't quit. It was huge.»

«It's a shame that he's gone. It's a disappointment.»

«We just didn't think it was as serious. We've had many play through that and do well, especially at that position, so it was discouraging when he decided he wanted to have surgery. ... The main thing is that we were planning on him being out at practice the next day when he decided to have surgery.»

«And that's just the difference between us.»

«The fact is Drew hasn't progressed, and that's disappointing, but it's time for us to be patient. He's got quick feet, a strong arm and he's as smart as a whip. This is not a time to give up. It's a time to stick with him. Great quarterbacks don't always just land in your lap. Sometimes you have to develop them.»

«The Cowboys have tried to be visible from a long way back, before it was necessarily in vogue. You know, it's easy to talk the talk, but it's another thing to actually get out and put the plan in place.»

«Defense always catches the offense. Always. No matter what adjustments you make, no matter how initially you sway it, the defense catches offense. It's an evolving thing. . . . I'm not concerned about a long-term advantage. You know we want to move the ball and why we obviously keep changing rules to help the offense. The reason you have to keep doing that is because those defenses keep tightening down. The guys are faster and bigger, and we've got the same width and length of a football field. There's no more room to run, and so you've got to give it a little bit of help.»

«We think the churches can help our people both heal mentally and get back on their feet as a temporary solution before they can get back into their permanent homes.»

«We just don't have the time to develop new temporary housing communities. We need to get them out of these shelters. . . . We don't want to just warehouse our people.»

«This buys us some time.»
