[On importance of game]
“It’s a huge game. We are at home and Utah is one game ahead of us in the Wild Card. We need to take this game and put ourselves in good position for the playoffs.”
[On playing in Tulsa again]
“It’s great seeing all of these familiar faces. I am very comfortable here.”

TULSA TALONS LINEBACKER JAMAR RANSOM
[On slowing down Utah QB Tommy Grady]
“We definitely need to come out here and throw different looks at him. He likes to hold the ball a bit longer than most quarterbacks and he gets great results out of it. We have to throw him different looks and get pressure on him. If we do that, hopefully we can get in his head.”
[On importance of game]
“This game is huge. If we are really talking about getting into the playoff, then this is where it starts. This is a playoff game for us tonight. We have to play each game from here on out as if it is a playoff game. We just have to focus on going out and getting this win tonight.”
[On getting a win tonight]
“We need to be physical tonight. We have to go out there and lay some lumber on these guys. We want to get out there and put a lot of heat on them. If we can do that, we feel that we have a good chance to win. We will see how they react to our intensity tonight.
[On playing at home]
“Playing at home helps a lot. These last two games haven’t been too good for us. It’s always good to be back in front of our home fans. It’s great having their support, especially with the bye week. Everything is a bit slower, but we need to pick it up the pace and win some games. “
HALFTIME QUOTES
TULSA TALONS DEFENSIVE BACK JC NEAL
[On slowing down Utah in second half]
“We are going to have to continue to play hard. We’re going to have to adjust in the locker room and come out with a lot of intensity. We have had difficulty playing all four quarters, so we have to keep the intensity up. “
[On getting a win this week]
“We have to focus on playing all four quarters. We have to play consistent for the entire game and not lose focus.”
[On success in first half]
“I have to continue to focus on my craft. I have to read the ball and play smart. Our veterans on the team are perfectionist, so we have to come out in the second half and get after it.”
[On importance of game]
“It’s a really important game. This game is really big for playoff implications. We just have to finish strong and focus on winning each game the rest of the season.”
POSTGAME QUOTES
TULSA TALONS WR TROY MCBROOM
[On success tonight]
“There were some opportunities and one-on-one matchups I was able to take advantage of. I was very thankful that the offensive line protected Justin well. He threw some good balls out there and was able to take advantage of some matchups. He put us in good positions to make plays.”
[On importance of game]
“Every game is extremely important. In football, it is one week at a time. Tonight was very important; especially with the playoff race being tight. It was a very important win tonight. It was great for us to finally come together. We have gone through so many adjustments over the last six weeks. It was just great seeing it all come together for a full game. I think now we can use this momentum and make a serious playoff push.”
[On scoring 81 points tonight]
“We were very fortunate on opportunities tonight. We had a few onside returns and interceptions tonight which helped a lot. Special teams played a crucial part. Offensively, we played very efficient. We eliminated a lot of the mistakes and turnovers. Playing smart and putting up points is what it is all about in arena football. Scoring on every possession and forcing turnovers are so important. We did a great job of doing that tonight.”
[On finishing season strong]
“We have to do this ever y week. We have to be efficient and take advantage of opportunities, because you only get so many. We have to keep playing with this intensity and stay healthy. Hopefully if we can keep it up, we will be successful these last six weeks.”
