I thought they played very hard and were executing. We had very few missed tackles, which is very big this time of year. We made some plays, came up with some takeaways. You can see the effort was just tremendous.

I've got to go in and present myself to ownership. I know they know quite a bit about me, but I have to go in like they don't know me. I'm not assuming anything.

Oh, gosh, here we go again. You lose one of your starting players ? that's a big blow to us, because he was also playing very well.
|
Right up there near the top. I'd compare those guys to any two in the league.

The only guy I've had like this was Cornelius Bennett. [Newman's] not as fast as Cornelius, but he's versatile like Cornelius was. He can drop, he can rush, so that's the type of thing he's got going.

There's no pressure when you have a lot of good players like I do now. Pressure was last year when we didn't have enough talent in order to compete.

They made their decision. But I'm not disappointed. I tell you what, I was just grateful they gave me an opportunity to present my case to them.

They've been waiting for this guy. They're going to get after him good. He'll be singing after every meal. I know they've got something in store for him. There's been some pretty hot days out there. He's missed some of them, and they're going to let him know it.

We didn't change anything at all. We're just performing better.
|
We don't even really talk about it here. This is a new owner and they'll do what they think is best for them. I've been in this business long enough to know you can't worry about it because it will drive you nuts.

We have to take a look at the tape. We have to go back and examine things. Maybe there was something that we were doing. We were tipping our technique or something.
|
We used it quite a bit, and I thought it was a good wrinkle for us. I think it gave them a little bit [of trouble] adapting.
|
We're happy to have him. He's got a good understanding of the scheme ... plus, he's got a good football mind. He's very intelligent.
|
We're not going to talk about that. It's been streamlined already.
|
We're waiting for him to get here, too.
