“When you're 3-12, you know a lot of changes are coming. We expect that. A lot of the guys you see in this locker room will not be here next season. We know that. We're not stupid.”
“I did not see it coming. I thought we handled this - Coach Sherman and the rest of us - handled the best that we could with the hand that was dealt us. We couldn't have done any better. But that's not what Ted Thompson (is) looking at.”
“I'm just really shocked because of how hard Coach Sherman works. When you think of someone getting fired, you think of someone as lazy, don't work hard, don't put effort into it. He's the epitome of a professional.”
“All I can tell you is it was a very emotional time for the whole team to see a great man like that go. We don't know what the future holds. All we know is that coach Sherman is no longer the head coach of the Green Bay Packers.”
“Right now we're not executing. I'm not sure if it's because New England is used to playing against a similar defense with Miami being in their conference. We weren't executing and they were. I see why they're Super Bowl champs.”
“I think that Brett has a lot of football in him physically. Obviously, he took a long time to make the decision, and he wouldn't make the decision if he didn't think he could do it mentally, but physically I know he has it.”
