Ballgame Quotes

[Sherman said the offensive line starters will remain intact, meaning rookie right guard Will Whitticker did not lose his job after committing two penalties, allowing one sack and one knockdown against the Browns. ... Safety Mark Roman also kept his starting job despite missing the tackle on Heiden's touchdown.] He's only missed one tackle in two ballgames. Certainly, it was a big tackle (he missed). There's no question about that... But, he's not the first, nor the last. - Mike Sherman

(Henry) was productive for us in the second half of the game last week against Baltimore, when we needed five yards to kneel on it, and he got 20... He ran hard against a good defensive front.

(Clarksville) controlled the game. They played a good ballgame. We didn't play real well offensively. Defensively we did all right, but we had a couple of spots with a little bit of letdown that they were able to capitalize on. - Ed Baker
