Game Vs. Patriots: QB Vince Young

On how he would assess his performance: "Ok. Could have been better. I left a lot of throws and things like that on the field but, overall, I felt ok. I felt ok about my performance."

On whether a lot more was asked of him in this game: "Somewhat. We're trying to get the running game together, things like that. We all left a lot of plays out there on the field but I give respect to the Patriots. They did a good job. So, we've pretty much got to move on. We've got a quick turnaround to get ready for Thursday night."

On what changed after the first drive: "They wanted to be more man. They got out of the zone because they saw that we were attacking a little bit so they got out of that and went to a little more man."

On whether he's disappointed that WR DeSean Jackson didn't pull down some of his passes: "Not really disappointed.  You know I have respect for each and every one of the guys on this team and I know that he gave 100 percent effort.  Sometimes you don't make a catch, sometimes I don't make the throw. You know, pretty much everybody, sometimes you don't make that tackle.  So the biggest thing is we have to continue to stay strong, continue to keep putting things in the past and move forward to the next player, next team, next whatever.  Just play for four quarters.  And I can honestly say that we fought to the end."  

On the mental approach of the team after this game: "I mean it's basically we're pros.  We definitely wanted that game, [it] left a bad taste in my mouth, but overall, honestly, I can honestly say the guys know that we have a quick turnaround. We have to put that in the past and go back to work tomorrow and get ready for another good opponent as well."  

On the Eagles' emphasis on the pass: "That's pretty much up to [offensive coordinator] Marty [Mornhinweg]. When the play is called, it's my job to lead the guys to come back and make the play work.  Like I said we had some ups and downs. We had some good drives. We had some drops. We had pretty much a lot of things.  Myself, different things.  So just want to put that in the past.  I mean a lot of the guys, the coaches, they are supposed to be upset at some of the things, but at the same time we have to stay positive and move forward."

On how upsetting it was to hear the fan chants about Head Coach Andy Reid: "I'm just now getting a full taste of this type of stuff. Andy's a tremendous guy. I have the utmost respect for him. Fans don't understand some of the situations that go on with the game. You can't really put it all on Andy. Us players have to go out and play the game as well. I say that out of the utmost respect for Andy. We're going to always continue to keep fighting hard, playing hard for him."
