Green Bay vs. Chicago - Postgame Quotes - Green Bay
Regular Season - Packers Win 38-24
HEAD COACH MIKE HOLMGREN:
- (on the loss of cornerback Craig Newsome for the season) "It's a huge
loss. He's been such a great cornerback and he's getting better all the
time. It was on the first play of the game -- I don't even know how he did
it. But he's upbeat and he's a great young man. We have a great medical
staff and he'll be back next year."
- (on whether the injuries took away from the win) "I always try to take
(injuries) personally. I feel bad for the players. But I try to separate
those two. I don't want to take anything away from what the team
accomplished."
- (on his overall take on the game) "I think we left room for improvement.
It was a fiercely fought game. Both teams played very hard and both teams
created mistakes by their tenacious play. A win is a win, and all wins are
great."
- (on whether the touchdown by Robert Brooks was a big lift heading into
halftime) "Any time you score before the half, it gives you a big lift.
I'm very happy for Robert. To have him back on the field and contributing
is great for our team."

Coach Holmgren comments on the gameplay |
WIDE RECEIVER BILL SCHROEDER:
"I was a little bit nervous tonight but things went pretty well. I had
great blocking. I wish I could have broke some more of those returns. But I
had a great time."
KICKER RYAN LONGWELL:
(on whether he changed his approach because this was his first
regular-season game) "I didn't change my approach. There was a lot of
pressure and I was definitely nervous. But I warmed up the same and they
all happened to go straight."
WIDE RECEIVER ROBERT BROOKS:
- (on his touchdown catch) "It felt good because I wanted to make sure to do
something that would help my teammates win. It was something that got us
going -- it gave us a spark for the rest of the evening."
- (on the loss of tight end Mark Chmura for a month) "It's going to hurt any
team when you lose a great player like Mark. We just have to step it up
now. I made sure to go over to (Chmura and Newsome) because I know exactly
how they feel. They just have to stay positive."
