The kid will run, he'll block and he'll catch, ... That's what he'll do. I'm not saying he's going to be Gale Sayers, and I'm not saying he's where he should be. There's a lot of pressure on him right now. |
The kid will run. He will block. He will catch, ... I'm not saying he's going to be Gale Sayers. But he has ability in all the areas that are prerequisites. |
The only thing I didn't know was where his heart is, ... You don't know when you haven't been around a guy for a while. |
The other night we got two punts back pretty good, ... If we could do that on a weekly basis, then our punt returns is going to be improved significantly. |
The players' minds are off that game, ... They are working on San Francisco. They have been working on it since 8 o'clock this morning. They are not thinking about Washington. |
The spot that broke down was the spot that Burnett had been playing all summer, ... That was the main breakdown area, and having to throw somebody else in there kind of hurt us. |
The thing that's setting me back is the Spears-Ferguson thing. That's putting it a little on hold. |
Then really what he has is a bad ankle sprain. If that's the case, they would probably scope the ankle quickly, take the little chips or fragments out that he has. ... That would be certainly not season-ending and might be around a month or so. We're kind of rooting for that. |
There are always guys who don't look like they are supposed to be that good. They aren't built like Greek Gods, but they turn out to be the best players. You have to have some height, weight, speed criteria. But at the end of the day I just want to know how the guy plays. |
There is no one I have talked to, no one about anything of that nature. I challenge anyone to step forward to say this guy said to me he was thinking about retirement. |
There is winning and there is misery. |
There may be a game where we say OK, we are going to be much more aggressive in what we're trying to do. |
There was a lot of emotion for me today. I don't mean to dwell on that. I got a message today that said, 'Don't have a troubled heart.' And I don't. I've got those guys in there. |
There will be changes here, there's no doubt about that. |
There's a month of football to go. To be judgmental now with just the one-game separation would be premature. If you look at this like it's a disaster, then that's what it will turn out to be. If we look at it like we can bounce back, then that's probably what will happen. |
