A guy used to have a farm up the street from our house, ... Every once in awhile he'd let us go in his back yard and said, 'Try to catch the chickens.' I thought I was quick, but I couldn't catch the chickens. |
A lot of times when you're playing, ... your adrenaline is running so much, you get nicked and you just play. If something's wrong, you wake up sore the next morning and find out. |
A very, very good kid. |
Almost every one of these guys is going to end up playing in the NFL. You have to see them. |
And when guys don't play as well as they anticipate, they generally come back the next week and play better. |
Anytime you change offenses on a guy, that's tough, ... Chad doesn't want anyone to feel sorry for him. He understands what's going on. At the end of the day, he's going to be a very good quarterback in this league. He's going to win a lot. And he's won. He's won a lot of games here already. He's going to get better and we're going to get better as a team. That's my belief. |

At this point, he's under contract. You never talk about guys under contract. You get into that, and you're setting yourself up for a no-win situation. But, no, we haven't really even talked about it. |
Donnie is not a villain. He's a very intense coach. Regardless of all the rumors, Donnie is a heck of a coach. He's a good man with a great motor and a passion for the game. He respects the integrity of the game. |
Family policy stays in the house. Done, |
He did OK, but that doesn't just happen with James Reed. It happens with a bunch of guys, it happens every week. |
He gives more than he gets so he's really like Curtis Martin. At the end of the day, those guys are who make the league great because of what they do on the field, how they conduct themselves as professionals and what the do off the field. His legacy as a player goes far beyond his football career. |
He got it taped up (against Miami) and played the entire game, so who knows. |
He just got a little tired, playing special teams. We have to give him a little more rest on special teams. He's done a good job, but he did a good job last year when he had to step into Victor Hobson's position. |
He just wants to make sure he's going to be OK, and I can understand that. That's something you don't deal with lightly. I anticipate he'll be back. That's my gut feeling. |
