Not that we're putting a timetable on doing this, but obviously, the sooner we can get done, the better. We don't control the timetable. Some of these things are time and circumstance, and you've just got to work through it. |
Nothing has changed. There is no new information. |
Olindo has had a fantastic camp. He has made a much higher percentage of his kicks than what our standard would be. |
One game a season doesn't make. |
One of the most difficult parts of my job is having to release players, and the past week has emphasized this fact. This is especially true when those players made significant contributions to the success of the team in the past. Ideally, we would like to keep many of those players on our roster, but we are simply not able to do that. |
Our doctors felt comfortable about the circumstance of his injury, where he is in his rehab and where he can be in the future. It's our goal to get him ready for this season. He's on schedule to do that. |
Our goal is to work against things we have not seen that we will see in the near future. |
Part of the things that we are doing is because of his unique abilities. I would say that if Jason Taylor had played in a 3-4 system somewhere, he would have been a Hall of Fame outside linebacker. He's smart, and he's got great instincts to learn things better than I ever hoped. It gives us an opportunity to move him around and use him in a lot of different ways. |
Personally, I hate to release any of the guys. I feel like this is our team. These guys have been here. They've worked hard. They've all made a tremendous commitment and sacrifice to trying to make the team. I have a lot of respect for what they've tried to do and feel badly that every guy can't, maybe, realize his dreams. |
Philosophically, I don't there's a lot of difference in terms of what we like to do. His knowledge of the league and being able to define things internally in the organization, so you have everybody on the same page, are probably his greatest assets. That and recognition of what people can do - the strength of players, coaches and people in the organization - and putting them in position where they can have success doing it. |
Philosophically, they want to establish the run, ... The most important aspect in the game was we stopped the run early. |
Physically, we got beat up out there. |
Playing physical and having the number of guys they have that are difficult to block, these guys are as good as anyone we have played. |
Rather than wear him out, we played him about as much as we planned. We'll play him more and more as time goes on and he gets in better and better shape. |
Reggie had a chance to make a play on the ball, ... In trying to intercept it I think he put himself in a bad position to tackle the guy. It turned out to be a big play. |
