I try to give as little information as possible. No. 1, the draft is a competitive situation. |
I was raised in a different era: Loose lips sink ships. I've learned to be quiet about (the draft process). I try not to talk about it. |
I'm going to talk to Drew this week and see where Edge is right now, so I'd say it's probably 50-50. But that's an uneducated guess because I haven't spoken with Drew. |
If we come to Wednesday with no agreement, it will be a different market. |
In a sport that has had many champion quarterbacks, John Unitas stands, in my mind, as the greatest at his position. He was the forerunner to how the game is played today. His toughness and leadership abilities were outstanding, and he bore the face of his team greater than any player in history. He is one of the central figures upon which our game is built. |
In terms of our kicking game this spring, I think it's pivotal that we get two or three specialists to step up and really take the bull by the horns and take one of those jobs. Having to replace D.J., you know, yeah, that's not an ideal situation to have one guy doing both and now he's gone, but we feel confident that there are guys in this program that will step up and win one of those jobs. |
is that you can play with young players. |
It was not easy, and it was somber, to say the least. |
It was right away, no sooner than I got in here. |
It's a pleasure coming to work every day. It's fun because (Dungy) makes it that way. |
It's a small increment but it makes a difference. It might be enough to keep a Mike Peterson as opposed to losing him. It might be enough to keep a Marcus Washington as opposed to losing him. |
It's great to have him back. It's been a long ordeal for him and his family, and I think it will be a long, long time before they have a sense of peace and consolation. But I hope this is one place he can find some peace and consolation. |
It's hard to fathom what this means unless you're a parent, and if you are a parent, there aren't any words to express the kind of pain that I'm sure they're feeling. |
It's normal, very normal. There's nothing here that's unexpected. |
My gut reaction is to tell you I want to see the way the market goes before we would even entertain any major expenditures beyond those which we've already made. |
