RECAP: Drew Bledsoe Press Conference... - Dallas Cowboys Forum

bighonz · 10-25-2006

Just heard on the ole radio, meeting with the media...

Bledsoe:

Playing and being a starting QB in this league is a day to day and week to week and soemtimes half to half thing today.
I wish I wasn't in this situation right now but I was raised to do the right thing. I will continue to be a leader on this team and supprot this team. I will support Tony and be a team player.
I wish I hadn't made the mistake in the game the other night, I wish I had it back. This is a very dissappointing situation for me. I will still prepare as if I will go on the field.
I was surprised at the switch the other night. It was a bit surreal.
I didn't know til thins morning that Tony would be the starter. I have tried over the last couple of days to prepare for both situations.
I still believe in my heart I give us the best chance to win, but the decision has been made.
Just because I don't agree with his decision doesn't mean I don't respect him. We talked about 30 minutes today.
I have to believe we would have won had I stayed in, but that is what I should believe. I didn't play well in the first half the other day. I wanted the chance to redeem myself.
I never thought about quitting, that is not in my make-up. This is a new role for me, I am the captain of this team and will continue to be supportive.
I felt I was treated dishonestly in the New England situation but not this time. Bill sat down with me and was honest with me.

Shuttemdown41 · 10-25-2006

it's also being carried on DC.com like Parcells' was, video and all.

He thinks he has always responded to adversity.

C'mon Drew.

Bledsoe:

If I played the second half, I think we would have won.

I rise to the occasion when facing adversity.

Palmer told him at the half.

I guess you hear what you want to hear. He's being great in this interview.

Unforgiven · 10-25-2006

Let's not forget, Bledsoe is due a huge bonus if he is on our roster next season.

Don't think for a minute that was not a consideration here.

No kidding.

And I've always respected Drew, but I'm not sure I like him saying so many times how he feels like he gives the team the best chance to win and this is a mistake. Asked what he thinks happens if he stays in the game the other night, he says, "I think we win."

I know he's a competitor and all, but why even have this PC?

That was a nice mixture of class, dissapointment, and optimism on the part of Bledsoe.

First time I've heard this. I thought it was just in Buffalo.
