We felt that like was a very competitive (position) and we went with the guys we felt gave us the best chance to win now. |
We got banged up along the way and that kind of came to fruition (Sunday). |
We had a few opportunities the last month and it came down basically to this last one. We had to beat this team in this place. I can't think of a more satisfying win to help get us into the playoffs. |
We had our hands full. |
We have a large core of guys in that locker room that were here. They understand how big it gets. I think that's invaluable. |
We have evaluated him and he has the potential to be an impact back. He has great numbers in his career. I have faced him on more than one occasion when I was with the New York Giants and he is a big, strong, physical back. He is somebody that we would be interested in the free agent market. |
We have guys that have done it before in the playoffs and that certainly helps. |
We have resources, and we intend to offer him the support he needs, |
We knew we were behind the 8-ball, ... and we had to get it going. |
We know we're in a dogfight every time we come here, |
We learned by our last trip here (a 13-3 loss in November) that you don't want to start behind. We started 10-0 very quickly. The main thing we wanted to accomplish this time was to start fast. |
We moved the ball. We're not a finished product. That's what the preseason is for. |
We obviously got beat by a better team. I'm not sure what the problem was. Their defense played tremendous. |
We split games with New Orleans last year, swept Tampa and got swept by Atlanta. |
We still haven't decided yet who will play where. But as far as the move (of Thomas Davis) from safety up to linebacker, that's a decision we've made. Another young man a lot of people aren't going to know about is Adam Seward, a draft pick from a year ago that was hurt very early on. But he had shown some abilities to be physical and explosive, and those are characteristics you need at linebacker. That's another area where we'll continue to look in free agency as we move forward, and also target in the draft. |
