“Maybe this sleeping giant just woke up.”
— Steve Mariucci on the Philadelphia Eagles’ 34-7 victory over the Dallas Cowboys
“When you have the explosiveness of a Michael Vick playing the way Michael Vick is playing right now, it’s almost impossible to beat Philadelphia, certainly for most of those teams in the NFC East. Michael Vick just gives this team too much.”
— Michael Irvin on Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, who threw for 279 yards and two touchdowns in Philadelphia’s 34-7 win over the Dallas Cowboys
“The Philadelphia Eagles came out and understood the enormity of the game, and the Dallas Cowboys melted under the pressure in the bigness of that same game.”
— Michael Irvin on the Philadelphia Eagles, who moved into second-place in the NFC East
“The Dallas Cowboys have a lot of young guys and I think they still have to learn how to win those big games and being in those situations.”
— Michael Irvin on the Cowboys

“Did they get their butts kicked Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens? Yes they did, but this is a whole new team. Mentally, physically, atheistically – this is a whole new team.”
— Deion Sanders on the 6-2 Pittsburgh Steelers, who lead the AFC North
“All of a sudden they take a page out of the New England Patriots’ book and play this wide open, spread them out offense against the Patriots. They convert third down after third down after third down, and Tom Brady spends a day over by the Gatorade; they don’t let him on the field. … They totally dominated this football team.”
— Steve Mariucci on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 25-17 victory over the New England Patriots
“I measure a man not only for what he accomplishes, but distance traveled. When you talk about distance traveled with this team, this team has come a long way and you can see the nucleus of a young team that will be good for awhile.”
— Michael Irvin on the 6-1 San Francisco 49ers
“What [Jim] Harbaugh is doing out there, he’s changing the whole culture. These guys are believing in themselves, especially Alex Smith. This guy was one of the jokes of a first-round draft choice; now he’s a formidable quarterback.”
— Deion Sanders on the first-place San Francisco 49ers
“Today, Tim Tebow looked like he wasn’t ready for the NFL.”
— Deion Sanders on Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow, who was 18-of-39 for 172 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Denver’s 45-10 loss to the Detroit Lions
“He has all of the intangibles, we love the kid and he’s that kind of guy, but he has to make plays from the pocket. He went back in the pocket many times today and A) he didn’t complete many passes, and B) he didn’t have a lot of time. He was under duress the entire day.”
— Steve Mariucci on Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow
“This combination might be the best combination ever with rookie quarterback and receiver.”
— Steve Mariucci on Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton and wide receiver A.J. Green

— Deion Sanders on the 5-2 Cincinnati Bengals
