“I know there are a lot of people out there that want to bash Eric (Bieniemy) for this offense. This offense works. You have to go through the reads and make the quick decision. Jacoby Brissett came in tonight and showed you how a veteran guy runs this offense. And by no stretch am I trying to knock Sam.” Brian Mitchell
“The defense did some great things today at moments, but I still don’t know how the hell [Rams WR] Cooper Kupp runs with nobody around him. That’s baffling to me. That is not a coach’s thing. I look at the players; they have to come through more.” Brian Mitchell
“We used to be mad at Dan (Snyder) then everybody was mad at Ron (Rivera). I don’t think the coaches are doing their job at a high level, either. But these players? I don’t see enough ownership. Because when you are a true competitor, you get pissed off, and you stop the bleeding. Who has stopped the bleeding?” Brian Mitchell
“I am not getting on Sam, but when you see the performance we saw from our backup quarterback, that is going to have everybody scratching their heads.” Santana Moss
“Really, just really trying to take care of him a little bit. In that situation, they had their ears pinned back like that, and didn’t want to see anything crazy happen. Yes, he is, because I decided he is our starting quarterback.” Ron Rivera on benching Sam Howell and moving forward with Howell.
“I mean, I’ve been worried all year. I haven’t been performing the way I’ve been wanting to. Most places, I probably wouldn’t be around still.” Camaron Cheeseman, if he’s worried there will be a change at long snapper.
“That’s not good enough, and we’re going to evaluate that.” Ron Rivera on Camaron Cheeseman’s long snapping
“I got to play better, I’ve got to execute better. It is what it is. I know I am not defined by this one game.” Sam Howell on being benched
“It’s hard to say. If we knew what the issue was, we would fix it. I think what it comes down to is we have to execute better and that kinda starts with me.” Sam Howell
“All we can control is how we move on from this point and how we finish the year.” Sam Howell
I’ve got to do a better job with my eyes, making sure I am looking at the right places…I’ve got to find a way to execute better.” Sam Howell
