He did exactly what he was supposed to do, and we blocked it well. |
He didn't get tired on Saturday. So he should be pretty fresh. |
He feels OK. He feels good. So it will be a club decision, a medical decision. He'd like to play. |
He got popped good a couple of times and kind of bounced up. All that was good. |
He had been a good player for us, he really had, |
He had been a good player for us. It seemed to me like he lost a little bit of his fire. That's just how it appeared to me. He wasn't the same enthusiastic young man that we drafted. That coupled with the new competition we had at his position. In fairness to everybody, we just did it that way. |
He has been very good, but it's consistency, ... He has to understand he's still learning. |
He has great hands. We knew that. He's a big target. I think his speed is a little underestimated. And we really needed him to play the way he played. |
He has had a good camp, and he's still figuring out how much it has to hurt before he can't play. So I'm going to help him with that if I can. |
He has probably been our most consistently good player inside. I tease Rock about it. When he is going, concentrating and pushing himself really hard he is a very, very good player. |
He has special skills as a receiver, although people would say he's not the biggest guy or the fastest guy. He gets open, he catches a lot of passes, he's hard to cover, and he's quick. In what we do (offensively) most of the time, he gets open. |
He is a good fellow and he doesn't curse and he is a nice man. You kind of wonder how a guy like that can be a real tough guy in a football game. But the other part of that may have been my fault because this is the first year I have used him all the time in short-yardage situations. Before, we had another back doing that. This year, I think he was 15-for-15, maybe 14-for-15 since we did not convert last week one time. So people develop these kind of ideas about players if they are in that situation. |
He is a great football player, as I told him before the game. But if you get a second defender on him, that can slow him down a bit. Plus, you've got to tackle him. We knew Steve would get some catches, but then you must tackle him. |
He is a great guy and he's getting better, which is the important thing. The things that were bothering him are improving. We're just going to ease into it. |
He is a lifelong football personnel man. Personnel people, they have a passion for it. They want to help the head coach. They want to give him the best players they can give him. And it creates a real healthy trust and working relationship. Bob's first love, as you know, was basketball. And he was taking on a lot of jobs. It's different now, because Tim is a lifelong football guy. We have a good relationship. |
