Week 1 (9/9/12) – Quotable from
NFL GameDay Highlights & NFL GameDay Final on NFL Network
(Sundays at 7:30 & 11:30 PM ET)
“This is the most athletic quarterback this league has ever seen.”
— Steve Mariucci on Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III who threw for 320 yards and two touchdowns in Washington’s 40-32 victory over the New Orleans Saints
“When you watched him, you watched the control that he has of a football team. This early as young as he is, controlling that football team, they were listening to [and] they were following him.”
— Michael Irvin on Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III
“You can’t beat Peyton in the head; you have to beat him physically. [The Pittsburgh Steelers] don’t just sit back and try to play a physical defense; they try to trick you…Peyton is too good for that.”
— Michael Irvin on Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, who threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns in the 31-19 victory
“They’re going to have to count on him all year. With a rookie quarterback, you have to have some balance. Donald Brown provides a run game. He is their version of Matt Forte.”
— Steve Mariucci on Colts running back Donald Brown who rushed for 48 yards and one touchdown in Indianapolis’ 41-21 loss to the Chicago Bears
“He’s not far from being mentioned among the likes of Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald. He’s the next guy that we’re going to be talking about being in awe of.”
— Marshall Faulk on Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones who had 108 yards and two touchdowns in Atlanta’s 40-24 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs
“I like that they lost because that gets them more intense and they need to focus for the remainder of the season. They breezed through last season.”
— Deion Sanders on the Green Bay Packers’ 30-22 loss to the San Francisco 49ers
“This Randy Moss is very dangerous in the National Football League. If he’ll go in and make plays in the intermediate area, it opens it up for the deep route.”
— Michael Irvin on 49ers wide receiver Randy Moss, who had 47 yards and a touchdown in San Francisco’s 30-22 victory over the Green Bay Packers
“This turns this defense into something special because they bring an attitude.”
— Michael Irvin on the New England Patriots’ first-round picks Chandler Jones and Dont’a Hightower
“These were the types of games that the Eagles were losing last year.”
— Marshall Faulk on the Philadelphia Eagles’ 17-16 victory despite quarterback Michael Vick’s four interceptions
