The experience level they bring, there's no question there is a value to that, ... In the end, for me, it's more about having the best players that we can have on the roster. I think you have to look at it that way. You have to be cognizant of the overall makeup of your team, but you try and get the best players you can. |
The fact that he was durable and stayed out there everyday gave him a chance to get better and improve on a day-to-day basis and he did that. He got better each week, better each game and better every practice. |
The guy can certainly play outside linebacker. We know he can play defensive end. I imagine he can move inside and play defensive tackle. There's no question he can play tight end. He probably can play offensive tackle. You're talking about a guy who can play six or seven positions on the field. |
The guys who were in there have been in there. It's not like they haven't played. |
The last couple of years we've had a lot of guys go in the first round at receiver, mostly bigger receivers, and there has certainly been a trend and a little bit of a stampede to get those kind of guys. It seems like there are fewer of them this year. |
The only way to evaluate them is to see them play. |
The only way you're going to get a good, true evaluation of that play is to put a camera parallel to the goal line. |
The overall competitive nature he brings as an owner and as a franchise (still exists), |
The running back situation is a good, competitive one. I think Antowain and Kevin are good players, have good, solid strengths. I think both of those players are going to be productive for us. They have been in the past. How exactly it's going to work out, I don't know. I'm sure it will be decided on the field. We'll do what we think is best for the team. |
The thing I like about Matt is, if you correct him, the next time, he usually gets it right, |
The thing I thought was Jerry's greatest strength ... was his endurance. I thought he was a guy who was able to go hard and run hard on virtually every single play of the game. It didn't make any difference if it was fourth quarter, in the middle of a two-minute drive or the third play of the game. He was always very, very close to his top speed. Nobody else was like that. |
The thing I would encourage you to do is to go where your love is. Go where you heart tells you to go. I think that it's difficult to work in a job that you really don't like, that you really don't enjoy. If you're doing something that you love and is a lot of fun, it's a lot easier to come to work every day. |
The third quarter was really frustrating, ... We had the ball at their end of the field for most of the quarter and couldn't get a whole lot done. |
The toughest task now is, 'How are you going to top this?' Because we're going to win another one. |
Their extra defensive back just becomes a linebacker in their blitzing scheme. In sub, it becomes the same blitz, but it?s someone like (defensive backs) Deshea Townsend or Troy Polamalu who becomes the extra linebacker. It?s really a linebacker blitz. It?s the same two guys they?d bring in on regular defense, but they?re actually defensive backs because you have receivers in the game. |
