To play (middle) linebacker, you have to have the awareness. The inconsistency we had at linebacker was going to continue to hurt us. We still think Sam Cowart has got some juice in those legs. I really like the addition of Sam. I just hope we're blessed enough to have him stay healthy. |
Today he came out pretty bright eyed and feeling a lot better. |
Troy made another great play. He plays the ball well in the air, and that's something that a few of our other guys have to work on. Speed kills. Speed kills. |
Troy Williamson showed some signs of why we drafted him, ... He's got tremendous speed and he's a playmaker. |

Tuesday morning, the train keeps rolling. We have to evaluate the roster. We have to evaluate the coaching staff. ... If we are going to be the ones to do the work, then we need to know. And if we aren't going to be the ones to do it, then we need to know that, too. |
Twenty-five yards in the second half in the National Football League is not going to win a lot of games for you, quite honestly. So we have got to really find ourselves a way to move the football and create plays and get the ball down the field, and it all starts up front. |
Unfortunately this season so far there have been more times when I have looked in the mirror ... and feel like I can put on the uniform and feel like I can do a little better job than some of the guys that are out on the field. And then I come back to reality and realize I'm 46. |
Unfortunately, I don't think there is anything today that they can do or any check they can write to help us get better. |
Very, very tough, but it was time to move on. |
We all got caught up in it, and I think that's what the spirit of it was all about. |
We are intrigued with Smith. In the short time we saw him in mini-camp, he showed us some things. We're not fortunate that Michael is still hurt, but we're fortunate that the injury happened at running back, because I think we've got some depth there. Yes, we do lose some explosion with Michael out. But I don't think we lose much overall. |
We are still shopping around there. |
We are very fortunate to have four corners at that caliber - and then a fifth guy that has experience and can also go play safety in Ken Irvin. I'll take those five any day of the week. I really would. |
We brought in some guys who we had earmarked, and we had some guys who wanted to come to play for us. But did I think we'd be able to hit so many of our spots? No. No way. |
