He did OK. It happens. It didn't just happen with James Reed. It happened with a lot of guys. |
He did well for a guy in his first practice. He's got good instincts and he understands our concepts. |
He didn't blink, ... He was like, 'I got you, coach. I got you.' |
He didn't have to do that because I know our stand with Mr. Johnson, we've had a relationship for five years, a very good working relationship. Our relationship was formed on one thing and one thing only: trust. We both trust each other, we both understand what we're trying to do here. |
He doesn't fall in love with his press clippings. He knows that he has to work hard. |
He doesn't fall in love with his press clippings. He knows that he has to work hard. You saw that here in the off-season. He was the first guy here in the morning working out. He does things right. |
He doesn't trust a lot of people. Fortunately, he trusts me. I can have conversations with Laveranues, and he'll come in my office and wonder when my wife is going to bake him some cookies. |
He felt he could help us, but then we had some offensive line issues, |
He gave us the best chance to do what we needed to do to win the game. I had reservations, but he was able to go in and do some things. |
He hadn't played and hadn't practiced a lot. |
He has not played a lot of football since the season was over with, and it's a little bit of a new offence, asking to do some things a little different. One thing about Chad, he's very, very hard on himself, and he'll bounce back. |

He has to learn to be more focused in on every play, every little thing. |
He helped build the foundation here for how we play offense and we will continue to build on that success. |
