Coach Siegfried
“We need to play smart football against Dallas. We have to play consistent football and take care of the ball on offense. Our offense has had its struggles this year, but that has a lot to do with the injuries we have had this season. We feel pretty good about the group of guys we have tonight against Dallas. We just have to come out and execute.”
“I think the two extra games give us a better chance to gel. Our team doesn’t really think about the amount of games we have in the season. Whether it’s 14, 16 or 18 games in the season, we still have to come out and focus each week. Being banged up early in the season, definitely gives a chance to come out strong in the second half of the season. Having the injuries early in the season put us in a hole, but we are slowly but surely getting healthy and playing more together. I think we are going to have a strong second half to the season and hopefully we can start it off tonight.”
“I think the main thing is managing injuries through the long season. I don’t think it’s any more difficult than a 16 game schedule. I think being an expansion team and having two extra games will help. Some of the veteran teams with older guys might not like the change because it may be harder come the end of the season. Either way, we have to come out and be aggressive and be ready to play anyone each week.”

“It’s a very important game tonight. In the playoffs, everyone wants to play at home. Right now, we are trying to put ourselves in a good position in the playoff hunt. We have to take care of business this game and then get ready for a big division matchup against Cleveland who is a game ahead of us. Every game from here on out is extremely important and a must win.”
“I think having two extra games helps. It gives us more of an opportunity to look and study film. Film in this League is very important. Two more games to showcase our talent is great. It gives us more of an opportunity to find out what we are doing well and what we need to work on week to week.”
“Of course injuries suck. But with the addition of two games, we have more of a chance to get healthy. I think the 18-game schedule is great to get everyone on the same page and get healthy before the postseason starts.”
“Dallas has a good record right now, so they must be doing something right. We just have to focus on going out each week and competing. Mccabe and Morelli were able to come in during the season and help out the team. When I got back, I tried to come in and help as quickly as possible. The guys on the team believe in me and now that I am back on the field, I am ready to lead them. I just have to go out and play smart football and not make mistakes.”
“If we want to be successful in the second half of the season, we have to eliminate a lot of our mistakes and not shoot ourselves in the foot. We have to execute and play our smart football game.”
