Green Bay Packers vs. Washington Redskins - 09/24/01
Postgame Quotes - Green Bay
GM/HEAD COACH MIKE SHERMAN:
(on what team has with Green/Favre combination) "I hope we have points.
Those two guys get significant yardage. Those two guys seem to be in sync
with one another as I think Favre would say he's in sync with Dorsey Levens
as well."
(on ahman Green so far this season) "I think he's a young player coming
into a zone. He still has a ways to go. He'll continue to get better as a
player and I felt he was a good player when we got him. He just needed to
have the repetitions and the opportunity and he got both. He actually got
the opportunity first , then the repetitions and he just continued to get
better and better."
WIDE RECEIVER ANTONIO FREEMAN:
(on touchdown catch) "I caught a seam route and I think they got mixed up
on the motion. I was able to get inside and head straight for the
goalposts. Brett (Favre) read the safety come up a little and he threw it
right over his head. Six points."
(on returning punts) "I'm a lot more comfortable in the offensive set than
I was back there, but my job was to field the ball and go straight up the
field and see what you can get. I felt good back there. That was like
being in the play yard again, like being a kid just having fun."
LINEBACKER CHRIS GIZZI:
(on running out with the american flag) "That was a rush. I'm trying to
think of how to describe it. It felt like Braveheart, just running out
there screaming my head off. My head was going to pop off, my legs were
pumping - it was a rush -- then you get to play a football game. It was
awesome."
LINEBACKER NATE WAYNE:
(on his interception) "We had the perfect call, I just dropped back to my
zone. Fortunately he threw the ball to me and I just went up and made a
great catch."
(on the game intensity) "We were hitting on all cylinders tonight. The
intensity was at the highest point. We were going in focused on the running
game and try to get them into a passing mode. I think we did that tonight."
WIDE RECEVIER BILL SCHROEDER:
(on his touchdown) "Brett (Favre) called an 'X slant' and they rolled up
the coverage. I just worked Robert Bailey real good and Brett threw me a
perfect ball, then it was off to the races. I just didn't want to get
caught."
RUNNING BACK AHMAN GREEN:
(on team's success so far this season) "It's a big thing for us
offensively, defensively, and special team wise. It's what we worked for in
the off-season and it's what we worked for during training camp. We have a
solid confidence about this team that we know what we can do when the time
is right. We just have to take it one practice at a time and one game at a
time and prepare correctly."
(on his emotions before the game) "It was an emotional high. I know out
there holding that flag I looked at a lot of guys and my eyes watered and a
couple of other guys watered. It was a high emotion. as professionals you
didn't want to get caught up in it because you knew that you had to
concentrate on your play, but that fueled my fire to go out there and get
this game started. I think a lot of guys on our team did the same thing.
They let it fuel their fire so they could go out and play on another level."
QUARTERBACK BRETT FAVRE:
(on what he will remember about tonight) "It's not so much what I'll
remember about tonight, it's what I'll remember about the last two weeks. I
don't think anyone will forget what happened and they shouldn't. Life does
go on and I think tonight was a just a small piece of what not only we have,
the Redskins have and our fans have for this country. I watched the games
yesterday, and you watch what's happening and the response the country has
had to the tragedy, that's what I'll remember about tonight."
(on the play of the offensive line) "They had confidence going into the
season, of course it was unproven. When you play the way our offensive line
is playing, they can't get anything but more confident -- as long as they
don't get overconfident. It won't always be that easy. They can be as good
as they want to be. I said this at the beginning of the season: they're
young but they have a lot of talent."
