Ten quotes that define the 2010 Patriots
patriots - Word for word: Ten quotes that define the legacy of the 2010 Patriots - WEEI | Christopher Price
Price expands on each one in his column, but here are the ten quotes:
Quote:
“I really didn’t expect to lead off the season scoring a touchdown on the first drive. ... It was definitely a special deal.” —Wes Welker, 9/12/10
“I don’t want it to be in a negative light. I just want everybody to understand, you can print it. I don’t care how you put it on your ink, I want to be here as a Patriot. I love being here. But I just think from a business standpoint, this probably will be my last year here as a Patriot. And I’m not retiring. I’m still going to play some football. I just want to get that off my chest and let you all understand that this is a business. Now I’ll open it up for questions.” —Randy Moss, 9/12/10
“It's just ‘relax’. Don't get too hyped. Just relax. Woo-sa." —Patrick Chung, 10/4/10
“They are building this team specifically to beat the Jets. You are not going to beat the Jets by taking seven-step drops and looking for Randy Moss 50 yards down the field. You beat the Jets by getting the ball to the quicker guys who can beat coverage. Between [Julian] Edelman, [Wes] Welker, [Deion] Branch and [Danny] Woodhead, that’s what they are doing. All of these changes are designed to beat the Jets.” —NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger to WEEI.com, 10/27/10
“I love football and I wanted to be out there playing, but we had some other things going on. But now, I’m back and ready to go.” —Logan Mankins, 11/2/10
"They did everything better than we did. In every single aspect, they clearly were the better team. We have a lot of work to do." —Bill Belichick, 11/7/10
“We haven’t been this happy in a long time.” —Tom Brady, 11/14/10
“He was like Gale Sayers out there — a much bigger version.” —Tully Banta-Cain on Dan Connolly’s 71-yard kickoff return, 12/19/10
“I’m a champion. I’ll always congratulate the guys upon victory. They beat us today. They beat us when it mattered. So the ones with class, I shook their hands. The other ones, I didn’t. They don’t deserve my nor my teammates congratulations for them to act like that. You can tell they’re not used to being in this position for guys to act that way — for some of the guys. You can tell some of the guys who have been in this position before, they act differently than the ones who haven’t been there.” —Branch, 1/16/11
“I’m not going anywhere any time soon. Coach Belichick, what he allows us to do as a team and the coaching that he gives us, is the best. There’s no one better. When you have the best coach and the best owner, you’re set up to be successful year after year playing for the Patriots. As long as we have a group of guys that are tough and resilient and work hard, that love the game of football like the guys we have this year, we’re always going to win games.” —Brady, 1/17/11
