Gibbs Press Conference

[MTK]

-He praised the special teams off the bat, specifically the punting.

-Made some great defensive adjustments at the half, proud of the way guys fought.

-Passing game sputtered again.

-Dug a hole in the 1st half, couldn't climb out.

-Tough situation to put Patrick in down 17-0, also mentioned tough situation against the Giants.

-Patrick will get all the work this week, said Brunell is a class guy, Patrick too in waiting for his turn and supporting Mark. Mark will help Patrick every way he can.

-Tough assignment this weekend, big underdogs against the Eagles.

-Patrick is the starter from here out, not a week to week decision.

-Griffin's MRI came out ok, could have been serious injury, he's ok just a sprain, he's day to day

-Campbell is done, big special teams loss

-Injuries really hurting the team

-Work is cut out for us, tough schedule coming up, team will be tested

-Brunell is #2, Hasselbeck #3

-Ramsey has had plenty of work all season, after practice throwing, running the oppositions' plays, studying in the film room, etc.

-He doesn't think there's a problem with Brunell's arm strength, drops are a problem, slips in pass protections. Will continue to work on passing game in practice, make adjustments, etc.

-A lot of key guys out, need to get them back to 100%, tough to keep losing guys.

-Taylor alleged spitting incident, he wasn't aware of it.

-QB a key position on offense, would love to have stability there, not all Brunell's fault, bad routes, pass protection, penalties, etc.

-Not many changes needed to offense for Patrick, some right handed, left handed stuff but that's about it.

-McCants very impressive. Thrash working alot on special teams, was able to bring up McCants. Great hands, deceptive speed, great on deep balls. Want to work him in more to offense. Make plays, you're gonna play.
