Joe Gibbs Quotes on Time (16 Quotes)


    Hopefully, something starts working out so we can get Patrick some place that he would like. I don't have a time frame on it. We don't feel pressure or anything.

    He has a bone bruise, plus he has a chip, which we cleaned out. We sat and talked to Brandon a long time. He is super important to us. We decided it was probably best for the team and for him, rather than to try and rush him back, to put him in IR.

    Yeah, but our guys are too smart for that. We talk all the time about that and they understand it.

    It's a real concern, ... It's a problem. We've got to get it corrected because you won't win games up here turning the ball over and I'd still say those are two areas where we have not showed the kind of improvement I'd like -- turning the ball over and penalties. So it's something for a real focus from now until game time. In the regular season, we've got to try to find something to fix it.

    You hate to see him go through something like this, ... and we have to go through it, so it's a tough deal. But I think we've just got to deal with it. His injury this time, they said if last year was a 10, this year is a 2. It's not nearly as bad.


    I'm just happy for him that he is playing well, ... A lot of times up here you go through tough things. At any one time in the NFL, you're going to have a number of players on a team who are going through tough situations. A lot of times the way they handle it is a measure of someone's character. I think that was Mark's situation last year and Patrick's situation now. The way you go through the tough times leads you to improvement and great performance in the future. It's a test of character when you go through that.

    They had the upper hand for a long time out there. We had a tough time getting anything done against their defense. Any time you get into the playoffs it's a huge deal. I feel great for these guys because so many of them haven't experienced it before.

    We think somebody who's 24 years old is going to be playing here a long time.

    We're concerned there. We gave up five sacks. Two of them were a little situation where we didn't get the alignment the way we wanted it, so it was our fault. But at the same time, we scrambled out of there to save us a couple, too.

    I think in that game it was total domination all the way across the board. I don't know what else to say about it. Everybody who watched it would probably say the same thing. It can happen to anybody in this league, but I also think they're very, very good. We'll be a little nervous about playing them because they kind of overwhelmed us that first time.

    I think it's just a matter of getting back in there and letting him do a little bit of everything. I don't think we've decided on a specific role for him. Hopefully, he's going to be getting some major work for us and major playing time.

    He's good at that, ... But I can tell. I'm around him a lot. I couldn't even explain it. But I can feel it. He definitely wants to produce. It's not like he's getting any younger. The time to do it is now.

    I feel humbled and really thankful the Lord's blessed us with a great bunch of guys. Any time you get into the playoffs, it's a huge deal. ... I don't know what to say about it, other than I'm just thrilled. It's hard to get into the playoffs.

    I will say this, we don't listen to him all the time or we'd be out here in our underwear.

    It's what I lean on. Any time I feel down, like we all do, I think about that. Hey, this is where I'm supposed to be. There's a confidence knowing that God has put you here, and it's a matter of you living this, doing the best you can, working the hardest you can, trying to make it happen. Whether it's going to happen or not, we don't know.

    Being what we are, human beings, the natural tendency is that when everybody brags about you, they write good things, you kind of read about it and you back off a little bit. We couldn't play with them last time.
