I'll say this. He's as tough as they get. He was limited on the practice field (during the week), but the look in his eye is going to give our offensive football team a chance every Sunday. I believe that. |
I'll talk more about the players that are going to play. He's not playing, |
I'm an optimistic guy. But I'm also very realistic. I just don't want to stand up here and say something that is inaccurate when it's involving a key player and an injury of this potential magnitude. I just sit and wait. That's kind of how my life goes sometimes. |
I'm excited we're in position to make plays, we're reading our keys, we're getting jumps on the quarterback, we're reading his eyes, we're rallying to the ball, |
I'm going to talk more about the players who are going to play; he's not playing. His status will be decided upon later, but he's not playing in this game, no. |
I'm more concerned with Shelton's injury than I am concerned with Nate. Nate's a fine football player. He played a lot snaps for us last year -- not a lot of people know that, |
I'm not going to say anything more publicly other than this is going to be evaluated very carefully. There's a lot of logistics nowadays in modern football that you have to abide by. We'll do that. |
I'm one of those guys who is never pleased with anything, |
I'm one of those guys who is never pleased with anything. I'm a little concerned about someareas of this team, obviously, and excited about some others. We've got a lot of work to do, we've got 53 guys under contract right now and we have some focus on what we have to do next. |
I'm pleased with where we are running the football and that's a start, ... There are some good signs, some physical signs that we could be a good running team. |
I'm really excited with our ability to make field goals. Hopefully that's a winning edge for us this season. |
I'm really happy for him, proud of him. It's a credit to him and his hard work. This guy is a special talent, a special kid. Hopefully, he's got a lot more great days ahead. |
I'm sure he is. He's got a lot of pride, he's been through a lot with the rehab to get well, with the knee, with the back. I think, in his own mind, he's probably a little bit frustrated. But he's a team guy and he knows it's a long battle back. |
I'm trying to get a touchdown . Let's be perfectly clear. Certainly, I'd love to see Tim Brown be able to do that. What better setting for that to happen? ... [But] I don't care who gets there. In a perfect world, Make-a-Wish Foundation, I would wish he could get it on Sunday night in Oakland. |
I've been trying to say all along that he gets stronger as the game goes on, |
