“[The Cowboys followed their 4-of-15 third-down conversion rate against Seattle with a dismal 0-for-9 performance Saturday.] It's something that we talked about and worked on extensively this last week, and obviously we still have some work to do there, ... One of the important things is we've got to be in third-and-shorter yard situations.”
“They made an effort to stop Jason today. We tried a couple of times to get him the ball and they had two and three guys on him. But we had to get some other guys involved.”
“That was probably my No. 2 reason for coming here, outside the talent that was around, ... I know Bill, I believe in him as a coach. I believe in the way he approaches things.”
“I got one of those rings, ... But I wasn't on the field when we won it. I want to win a championship with the Cowboys. I am motivated by trying to do everything I can to tip my cap and ride off into the sunset with my Super Bowl ring.”
“Bill said when he brought me in here: 'You've got to be smart. We're not going to throw the ball like a high-wire act, living life on the edge all the time,' ... The biggest thing I am going to be focused on is eliminating negative plays.”
“I know that his defenses in practice were always very difficult to deal with, ... Facing him Monday night I know that he'll have some blitzes for us and he'll try to make things as hard on me as he can.”
