Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)

" It led to -- all of that Mike Vrabel that the phantom. Our third worst until. I feel that I after. Two games in five in five days and that was a -- knockdown drag out of a -- last night."

" Well -- mean it's you know you wake up just frustrated you know Warner. You know you're always go back in in a loss in this -- which you could do all. Of you that you went."

" How do you handle that that that call holding call. I'm not I mean I'd I would probably -- find though I do that Roger Clemens fun with the refs lived in like. Collect Agassi posters and I wouldn't elect handle it emotionally how do you deal with --"

" I had to -- right now and then churn -- target almanac of turn on the TV you know first that -- are so I'll just open net. You know what board for the Jersey but you know OJ didn't show on TV but they did they called it not and that's that's what we got that --"

" Would you argue about that you would would you would you -- make you might have been called because I don't."

" Augment -- they don't know they they they say the balls tipped on as far as -- no no intentional grounding the ball skipped it. And look around each other -- one gotta make calls or somebody doesn't just go with the."

" Do you think it was illegal contact."

" I don't know our -- start but somehow there's this machine don't know where."

" I think that it that it probably right. I guess other than that. That play that we just discussed. -- sure your moral victory guy or not my guess is you're not an in coming back from. How far down the team was really doesn't even sit will what sit well with you today the two took it in overtime I guess it's a it's a dollar W right."

" Well I'm happy we would get ourselves in these situations he's just spot we've been in before. And it's our job as a team. Rivera but got a deposition and to get it felt. And defensively we we did generally you know most of -- And we knew that our offense is going to scorer for the score and were driving and they've. Get all their driver that -- sort are a better term of arm. You know it all back in but it we just we come we came up short and we have to work their record ourselves in this position -- you sure what I target don't have enough time. Two world to come back for four. In doubt what force --"

" Mike we've talked all week leading up to the game about all the injuries it would lead to list all the you know principal players who were no longer available to this offense and this defense. And the question was going in at what point. Will this team not be able to explore it's it's remarkable depth and fill in for all these guys -- where will the tipping point be. It is it near the tipping point did we maybe see the tipping point last night."

" It's stuff on the and you go to a game of 45 -- and -- more quarterbacks so. There of course of the game. You know you feel comfortable border with the guys did you have there when you lose -- during the games. Think that's where you start scramble you know I mean I think we can all make concessions for for players that are hurt and you know that in order to the week that you're not going to have a guy but then. Once you get there are still losing their very again and me you don't have that available. I think that's -- and you start scrambling and you have to just -- guys to double wards of -- when you prepare somebody all week I think that's what makes it but that level."

" Do you know what happened on the third and fifteen when from the fifteen when Favre it Keller for sixteen. In overtime."

" It's yeah I got sixteen yard well."

" I mean it just you know we've we've -- we rushed three and I would drop back and you're trying to protect the sticks and in myself or it's."

" Do you -- feel like you got enough pressure obviously not enough to win but as far as pressuring Favre and and -- of them and hit numb. We we happy with the job you guys -- up front."

" You know world take a look at it today. Are probably got to move his feet a little bit which is good so those. Similar around back there and I don't know I think we'll find that out today did it take a look at it and she looked you'll need it won't do."

" It might see what you did on on Cotchery is. -- those great strategy and -- touched on you thought he might be alike take his alarm off and then the ball would be against consider a fumble but."

" Well you don't go to those outside you know -- the running backs don't stick ball you know around the goal line as he apparently just got -- over."

" It was close but you may mean."

" Yeah yeah you guys gotta go our I -- over. Obviously and Mike Vrabel by all media counts leading up to this game ones that we were reading from New York primarily this was Armageddon for the yeah for the Jets you know they -- at a sickened their stomach about the first loss they said I can't believe they lost do you guys old slow all these kinds of things have ever going to beat the Patriots now the time to do it. Did you get any sense that their level of intensity their level of interest in this game was anything less or more than -- and all the other encounters you've had with the New York Jets and the in the past."

" Com number I can't I can't gate I think there's you know they go -- and four new guys and I think there's certainly. It's -- because their play. You gotta look where it was there are certain emotion and effort level so. Whether they were doing have a format. I'll put and they did last night that felt we try to match it unfortunate goal late."

" Mike -- you put the context for us other -- Jerod Mayo was doing in his rookie year the impact he's had in this defense and the adaptability apparently in the learning curve. Are for this young man in this complicated system."

" I got a lot of respect for drought and -- person I mean I think they're both those are available player if you know only get better. Nor has person are respectively that he. You know let's -- first respects the game and our place hard. So obviously. In it's been fun watching him apply a play which in the at all you know he's played well definitely watch one don't plan."

" It is see as fundamentally sound as you've seen a rookie at this position be in the NFL."

" While while they acted in it like evaluate his talent and what he's doing I mean just right doctor plant which is very rare. He's doing his job so calm. It's coached charger evaluate what he's doing a target I'm glad it to -- to play a little bit. -- and then Gary and you know other young linebackers Pierre although."

" When do you find though that time worn camco. And you know all week."

" Josh I don't think anybody really knew. You know I think -- game time decision. They'll in the in the medical staff and our public court that would make that decision on mature."

" As as Matt Cassel and you don't get to watch everything he does out there but as he surprised you at all I guess 400 yards passing -- surprise anybody but. The job he's been able to do under immense pressures that hasn't been surprised you at all."

" I guess you'd say surprise to me just because you know they'll come in under the normal circumstances but now lost. Era in two quarterbacks so really -- you just look at that as. You're starting quarterback ever have a great game and bring his game back. To just over time so. --"

" Hey do you love. Anything against and Jeanie we know all about knowing your coach but what about personally you as a defensive player who played form."

" You know there right now he trojans -- and I played for Patriots so. I think you know maybe it's time the place you know not right now."

" I can assume as we wrap this up Mike that you're not alone among your teammates that ten days off between now. In the next game will be a welcome thing for this football team get ready for another tough divisional opponent."

" Austin beer poured first we get our rest and get healthy get everybody back in. Coordinator buddy you know restrict trot and whenever that we get bored if healthy give -- they'll play it is. --"

" You think Dallas will play again this year."

" I don't know I mean I'm not sure that. My decision. Our hope that. -- he's on board. I hope that it -- like it's our hope that he he can help themselves. Are much."

" Mike Vrabel thanks for the title talk the next week. Kurt -- their Mike Vrabel with Dennis and telling him."
