Quotes from NFL GameDay Highlights & NFL GameDay Final
– “It was a little crazy for us to believe Robert Griffin III could step back onto the field and have another great year like he did last year without [a full] offseason. There is a process in the offseason and everyone goes through it and they go through it for a reason. [His struggles] show us why.” – Michael Irvin on Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III who was forced to spend his offseason rehabbing a knee injury rather than participating in team activities
– “At this level, you are not stepping on a football field and dominating without seeing the game over and over and over again. That is what Tom Brady, that is what Peyton Manning spend their offseason doing; they spend the offseason studying plays and learning the game. You have to do that. I am not overly surprised [Robert Griffin III’s] season has gone this way. The quarterback has to time the speed of everyone on the field.” – Michael Irvin on Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III who was forced to miss the entire preseason while rehabbing from a knee injury
– “You cannot win [letting up 30 points a game]. We can blame Robert Griffin III, the offensive line, the inconsistent running game, injuries…. but the defense is just atrocious. You cannot overcome 30 points per game.” – Deion Sanders on the Washington Redskins defense. The Redskins were eliminated from the playoffs tonight with their loss to the New York Giants
– “Cam Newton is changing] the way an MVP candidate looks at the quarterback position. It is not all about 5,000 yards and 50 touchdowns.” – Marshall Faulk on the play of Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton and how his success is changing the perception of what is valuable at the quarterback position
– “Should Nick Foles be mentioned for MVP [consideration] if he continues [on this pace]? What if they get to the playoffs, overtake the Cowboys and he has only thrown one or two interceptions? Just ponder the thought.” – Deion Sanders on Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles who has 19 touchdown passes and zero interceptions this season
– “Nick Foles is good; [however,] we all want to see him in extreme conditions, when he up under pressure [and] when adversity is coming, we want to see if he can overcome that.” – Deion Sanders on the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles who has the Eagles at 7-5 this season
– “When Kansas City goes and gets a slot receiver, the Chiefs offense is really going to go to the next level.” – Deion Sanders on what is missing from the Kansas City Chiefs offense
– “Marcus Cooper and Sean Smith got exposed today. [They’re] two of the Chiefs best corners. They can’t be excited about that.” – LaDainian Tomlinson on Kansas City Chiefs defensive backs Marcus Cooper and Sean Smith who struggled in the Chiefs loss to the Denver Broncos
– “The mismatch of [covering] Shane Vereen [in the passing game] will be giving teams trouble [the rest of the season].” – Marshall Faulk on running back Shane Vereen and the New England Patriots offense
