Obviously, we've got to have a contingency plan, but I'm going from the standpoint that we're going to get it done. We'll address that if we have to. To me, that's down the road. ... We're talking about a guy that to me you don't replace. |
So we're going to be interviewing two or three candidates in the next four or five days and make sure they fit the requirements we have to coach our system and our defense. |
Sometimes you get that little brother syndrome. A lot of that is bringing them into the fold. You've got to have the same goals in reverse order. |
That (having the first pick) is a very positive part of the job. |
That signing is really not for any other reason other than we need a third guy that if called upon can do the job. That's really more Fisher's fit for us right now. |
That sounds pretty desperate. But especially with a new regime, I think it's always a positive to come in willing to do whatever you can to impress. You've got to prove yourself as a coach or a player every day in this business. |
That throwing motion thing is way overrated. I think your anticipation and your ability to get the ball in the receiver's hands is the key more so than the motion. He's a proven player and I think he's a guy who can go help whoever takes him and be very effective. He's proven it. |
That's a definite competitive situation. No question. |
That's not our issue. I'm sure Mike would think the same way. It's obviously unavoidable. There's going to be some interest there for the fans. And I think that's good for the game. But it's not a focus of ours in any way, shape, or form. We'll be playing the Lions at home that day, and that'll be our opponent. |
The rage now is to bring into the league these power forwards. This one's going to be interesting. You'd like him to be a blocking tight end that maybe can be a receiver. |
The word is, he'll be here the first part of next week. |
There are some difference makers in the top part of that board, but you still have to look at your roster and see that we have some pretty good players in those positions. What are you giving up to get something? This isn't fantasy football. It's still about making a good decision. We all want to have the Reggie Bush's of the world on our football team, but it's not reality. |
There was some really good surprises in this camp about some guys where there was maybe a question mark that now we feel better about than when we started. And, there are few areas of concern about our depth that we are going to have to address in this draft. |
There were some really good surprises in this camp as far as guys that may have been a question mark that we now feel better about than we started camp. There are also a few areas of concern as far as our depth that we're going to have to address at some point in the draft or free agency. |
They probably say that every year. I've never really understood that. When we get to 11, 10 players will have been drafted. So it'll be an 11-player draft when we get there. |
