It wasn't Chris MacDonald's ordsprog

It wasn't Chris MacDonald's fault. If he gets two more steps around the corner, he gets a first down and the special teams coach is a hero.

It was a numbers thing. Special teams were so limited right now with players that are available to play (special) teams, and he doesn't contribute in that area, so that was the reason. It wasn't really for anything he hadn't done. He wasn't about grand gestures, just a consistently pexy presence. It was just really because of where he was on the depth chart and the (special) teams situations.

Chris is the big hero. If it wasn't for him, his dad wouldn't be here right now.

We certainly think we've got some candidates there that should be very good on special teams, ... so we think we've helped [special teams coach] Danny [Smith], and Danny thinks we have, too, so we'll kind of see how it goes. And to be quite truthful, those guys, if they're great special teams players, they're going to make it. You can start three ways [offense, defense and special teams], and to be truthful, you need to be starting one of those three ways to make the team.

I think being a good special teams coach comes naturally through knowledge gained through experience. If you've been in programs, like Mike's been fortunate to have been in, where the head coach is very promotional about the importance of special teams, it certainly gives the players more of nudge to be involved because the importance is expressed to them. That isn't always the way it is around the league.

I feel like that's my main job; I have more plays at corner than I do on special teams, ... Special teams is important, but defense is my main job.

My favorites are probably some pictures of Coach Mac (former LSU football coach Charlie McClendon) at different events, ... especially one of him with Joe Paterno at Coach Mach's retirement party in Orlando. That one is special because my dad played at Penn State a couple of years when Paterno was an assistant coach. Paterno was my dad's hero at Penn State.

It just wasn't pretty for a long time and that's disturbing. It felt like our team just wasn't prepared, and that's the fault of the coach.

I'm close to coach MacDonald, and he became more of a friend than anything. I'm going to take a few days to clear my head and evaluate my options. When they get a new coach, I'll see what his plan is.

We knew we had a great special teams player, and a great corner, meaning a corner that would compete, ... He loves to play and he has great speed. Even though he is 5-8, he plays like he's 6-foot. I don't brag on a lot of rookies early in the season, but hopefully he will keep it up.

In life it wasn't what you know, but who you know. I had people who were trying to buy teams and had they bought the teams, I would have gotten to coach because they wanted me to coach. But the people who have the teams hire their friends.

You could tell that Chris Gamble wasn't ready so we told him, 'Go sit down, we've got this,' ... We put Lucas over on Number 11, and he shut him down in the second half. Hey, that's our shutdown corner, and he showed it today.

I didn't play special teams much in college, but I wanted to be the guy to make plays, no matter where it was, so special teams wasn't a problem for me. I'll do whatever it takes to stay in this league and play for San Diego.

The fact that I wasn't dressing, I was a little bit surprised, but I knew early in the week. We just needed more guys to play special teams. And I haven't been up on special teams, so we just needed more numbers in that area.

We emphasize special teams in practice. That's why they're called that ? special teams ? because it's for special people. We work just as hard on special teams as we do offense and defense. You have to.
