Green Bay vs. Minnesota - Postgame Quotes - Green Bay
Regular Season - Packers Win 38-32
HEAD COACH MIKE HOLMGREN:
(on Brett Favre's condition) "He's
okay. He'll be sore tomorrow, but overall I thought he had a real good
game."
(on the play of Ross Verba) "I
really can't tell you at this point. But Ross played and I'm sure he's very
happy. John could have played, but he wasn't 100 percent."
(on the play of LeRoy Butler) "He
had two interceptions, and he was hurt last week and in some pain. But
that's what you need from your best players. I think as a team you can
really build on a performance like that. The younger players see that and
then they know what it takes."
(on whether Bill Schroeder's
fumble would affect his return duties) "He's not returning kickoffs as of
right now."
QUARTERBACK BRETT FAVRE:
(on whether he audibled on the TD pass to Terry Mickens) "I was an audible
machine today. We practice that play maybe once a week, but Terry did a
great job catching the ball. We were designed to run a quarterback draw."
(on the team's depth) "We don't have much depth right now. It's not like
college where you have a hundred players. We have 53 and it's difficult to
replace players. But we're doing a great job of stepping up when we have
to."
(on breaking Bart Starr's team record for TD passes in just six seasons)
"We throw the ball a lot more, so I don't want to take anything away from
Bart."
(on the Vikings' pass rush) "They rush the passer as well as anyone. They
play hard and I respect that."
(on the play of Ross Verba) "I got hit today, but I don't know how much of
that was his fault. It's hard. How'd you like to come in and block John
Randle and those guys? We had to settle Ross down a bit. He was like a kid
in a candy store in the huddle, growling and spitting. He kind of brought a
different personality to our line."
STRONG SAFETY LEROY BUTLER:
(on chasing down Robert Smith) "You can't give up on certain plays. You
have to keep fighting, and that's what I was telling my guys on that last
series. We have to develop a killer instinct."
(on allowing Minnesota back in the game) "When you're up 31-7, it's hard
to keep your focus. But we're learning every week and we'll learn how to
put people away."
(on whether this was one of his best individual performances) "I think so.
I dealt with a lot of pain today, but I think it was important for me to be
out there for my teammates. If I'm near 100 percent, I need to be out
there. I think it's important for the team to see me out there."
WIDE RECEIVER ANTONIO
FREEMAN:
(on the play of Brett Favre) "He had a great performance. He did a good
job of looking off the free safety and the cornerbacks. When Brett gets
going, our offense gets going."
(on whether the offense felt invincible) "I think invincible is quite a
big word. I think we were confident, but we really didn't play well in the
second half. Our defense was able to bail us out."
(on why the offense put so many points on the board this week) "We weren't
settling for field goals; we were taking gashes at the end zone. We were
spreading the ball around and keeping the defenders on their toes."
FREE SAFETY EUGENE
ROBINSON:
(on the final defensive series) "We were not going to play our prevent
defense. We played our regular defense, and we had to because we were
behind the eight ball. They get seven points, they win the game."
