Darren Sharper Quotes


Darren Sharper

Our goal is to win the division. Each of these games are must-win games, and they are because they are divisional games, and they come back to bite you at the end of the season,

(Slowik) was a real good tactical, break-down-the-offense type of coach. We knew what to expect for games. He also was a good motivational coach. Overall, I feel he was a good coordinator for us. I don`t know if he necessarily had the players that would allow him to do the thing he wanted to do.

I still might have hoped that Green Bay was 1-4 and we might have been 4-1, but that`s not the case, ... Both teams are scrounging for a victory.

(Packers safety Darren Sharper notes the future is now for a team wanting to make a postseason push.) It is a one-game season, ... as in one game at a time. That`s what it is.

The good thing is you`re playing in a bad division, ... The bad thing is you are in the worst division in the NFL and you`re at the bottom of that division. But you still have 11 games to go. There`s still a chance to do some good things.

I can`t answer that. There were times when to his credit he wanted to play and I wouldn`t play him because of the injury. And then (it) finally got to the point where we ended up playing him. But we never put anybody on the field with the idea that they could hurt themselves in future games or years and that wasn`t the case last year. But to his credit, he was chomping at the bit to play and we ended up playing him.

It will be like playing ones vs. ones in training camp. The only thing is if I get to blitz I finally get to hit him. He won`t be wearing that red jersey.

The whole season was emotionally trying. We went through so many ups and downs, on such a roller coaster. It was a season that had a lot of scenarios, good things and bad things. But the end result is we had a winning record, and that`s a positive.

The good thing is you`re playing in a bad division. The bad thing is you are in the worst division in the NFL and you`re at the bottom of that division. But you still have 11 games to go. There`s still a chance to do some good things.

The toughest thing about being a defensive back in the NFL is you do your job, you don`t get credit, but if you mess up one time, you can be the goat. I always try to play the same style of game no matter who I`m going up against.
