Below are quotes from this week’s edition of No Huddle:

“I don’t care if you’re playing ‘Madden’ and you have Jim Brown, Jerome Bettis and John Riggins on your team: there is no way you are doing that to your football team.” – Jalen Rose on Atlanta Falcons head coach Mike Smith’s decision to go for it on 4th-and-1 from his own 29-yard line

“Andy Dalton impressed me. When you play in the quarterback position and you are the target every week, you either wilt or you rise up. That’s it. Either we find out if it’s too big for you, or you can handle this. This guy can handle this.” – Warren Sapp on Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Andy Dalton

“Let’s see him win a championship. Go see if you could conquer your sport before you come over here.” – Warren Sapp on if NBA player LeBron James could play in the NFL

Below are quotes from the interview:

“We have six losses; that’s one of the worst seasons I’ve been a part of since I’ve been here. But when you go through something like this, you realize that you really don’t have anybody else to get your back other than the people in the locker room. And it kind of draws the team together a little closer.” – Todd Herremans on the feeling in the locker during the 3-6 start to the season
