It was a fluke deal. It wasn't anything that's a concern for us now; it was just a bad-luck injury. |
It was a great meeting (with Faulk). It was very positive. |
It was a stroke of luck that we were able to get Jim. We won't have him for long. He'll be a head coach in this league again. |
It was important to have guys that are on the same page with him. Those are guys that I've heard nothing but great things about. |
It went the way we wanted, and it doesn't always work that way. We would be happy to take one of those guys, but it just so happened to work out just the way we hoped. |
It'll be great for all of us. We've been kind of bottled up in the building. We can't see the light of day. |
It's a tough challenge, obviously, playing a team of that caliber in the opener, but we are playing at home, and that's always a benefit. What's ironic is we opened in Miami against Denver at home last year. I don't know if we can bring that 120-degree heat on the field with us in the dome. That certainly didn't hurt us. |
It's a way of life, and they're very adaptable. We felt like going to Miami was going to be temporary. We didn't know it was going to be this quick, though. |
It's an honor to be (a candidate). I'm excited about being here. They'll be evaluating a lot of things. Obviously, I'm an offensive guy, and we'll talk about what might be implemented. We have a lot to look at on the other side of the ball and special teams, too. |
It's going to be pretty bare-bones. The big structure of how we call things. ... How we get in the huddle. How we call plays. The snap count. The timing of the snap count. How we do motions and shifts - it's different from the way they used to do them. |
It's kind of like a rainout. You're getting ready to go play the opening game, and you don't get to go play. |

It's like giving up a dog or something. I can't give that away. |
It's like in baseball being strong up the middle. You have inside guy, a middle linebacker and a safety. It's a pretty good place to start. |
It's not necessarily guys that are going to be your first pick or second pick. It might be people down the list a little bit. Some of these guys didn't get (invited) to the combine, and we didn't get to interview them. This is the only way we can get them, so I think that's a positive thing. |
