Quotes by Kirk Morrison

“We really were just a couple of plays away from turning that thing around. It wasnt like we played bad at all. I think we were in that game until the end of the fourth quarter.

“Hes the best running back in the league. But every week weve had to face great backs. Every week weve been tested and this will probably be the biggest test for us. Hes really elusive and can hit the home run. Thats how it is with him. When he touches the ball, he can take it the distance.”

“Ill do whatever. If they want me to play every single special team, play defense, even if they need me to play some offense. It sounds funny, but Im gonna do whatever it takes for this team to win and make the next step.”

“Hes so patient. Hes willing to take a loss to find a way to get the ball up the field. Thats the kind of runner he is, and he just found a couple of spots on us.”

“In the first half they got a couple of drives on us. But once we settled down and started playing our game, we were all right. ... We were smarter in the second half. We stopped some of those deep runs and its something to build on.”
