It's not just an athlete who is taking the snaps under center who has the ability to do things. It's a darn good quarterback. They add a dimension. Besides throwing and mobility, they've got that unique ability that when you think you've got them, you don't. That's when something really bad happens. |
It's not very significant. The MRI shows just a mild sprain so we'll be very careful with it. He has the potential, or the possibility anyway, of being available this week. We'll just have to see how he is. We'll hold him out of everything until Saturday, and then we'll see where he is at that time. |
It's real frustrating, being on the bench and seeing my teammates going out there without me, battling. ... I'm always disappointed when I'm not playing the best that I can and I'm not playing up to my potential. I really just try to go in the gym and fix it, get a lot of shots up and clear my mind. |
It's reasonable to think he can play 120 games. Now, will we be in a position to have to rest him and be conscious that he's going to come in some days cranky and not be able to go? The next step is to get him in spring training and get him in a position to be able to do that. I think he wants that. |
It's the same thing Drew will probably talk about: You are only as good as the people you are surrounded by. (Ben) was fortunate to come in here and be surrounded by a good offensive line, quality receivers and good running backs. And he has certainly done his part to hold up his end of the bargain. |
It's tough because it limits your abilities. But I have great memories. It was just frustrating playing with so many different quarterbacks. You just had to keep adjusting. It's not like that here. David Carr is the quarterback, and he's going to be here the whole time. I just have to adjust to him. |
It's unconventional in that much of my learning came as a player. I had to be a student of the game. What I brought to the table, I was the point guard playing for those guys. If I had been assistant to those guys, people would look at me differently. I brought a lot of pieces and nuggets from them. |
It's very much a transformation. Jerry had the tragedy of Jonathan's passing, and one of the biggest and most controversial transactions in the history of the media industry, which goes from being a great accolade to being just pilloried by one and all. That's hard to take at the end of your career. |

Jose has a fun and lively personality and he's always able to keep things light in serious situations. Plus he's a great competitor. Ivan has stepped up this year and is playing great tennis right now. It will be hard to lose them, but I am excited these guys are playing their best tennis right now. |
Journalism is the only profession explicitly protected by the U.S. Constitution, because journalists are supposed to be the check and balance on government. We're supposed to be holding those in power accountable. We're not supposed to be their megaphone. That's what the corporate media have become. |
