Curtis is a unique guy. He's always been that way. |
Curtis understands that he's going to be back here, (but) there's going to be open competition (for the starting position). Obviously, Curtis Martin will have a role on this team. |
Did we think he was going to be 100 percent? No. We knew we'd bring him along. We thought we brought it along all right. |
Every time he steps underneath the center as a young quarterback, he's going to experience some things. Obviously, this is one he doesn't like, this one the team doesn't like. It's a maturing process for him. He'll grow from it. We'll all grow from it. |
Everybody's been in camp for a month, he just showed up. Next week, he'll hit that period where his legs will feel tired, but he'll get it back. |
Football teams are families, ... I had a sister who used to beat me up all the time, but she was still my sister. |
For some reason, the dark cloud won't go away. Kind of just hovering above us. Usually you get a breeze or something, it blows somewhere else. Needs to go away, I know that, got to go away because it's amazing to me. |
For the remainder of this season, any time we are traveling as a team, we are all required to dress and act like professionals. |
Generally, when you throw for a lot in this league you're behind on the scoreboard. They blitzed us a lot today, so we had some opportunities in the passing game. |
Gosh, I haven't seen that many fumbles by a Jets' quarterback since Joe Namath tried to kiss Suzy Kolber on an ESPN Sunday night game a couple years ago, ... The Chiefs played defense about as well as Suzy did — Joe didn't get to first base, and neither did we. But we've got Chad on a strenuous hand-strengthening regimen: he's squeezing Charmin toilet paper 500 times a day. |
He actually told me what the player was trying to say. So I'll leave it at that. The player didn't mean to say we quit. We quit throwing the ball. That's what he meant. |
He addressed his team, too, about it. |
He can get it down the field, he did it with Dallas, |
He can run. He can catch the ball. He can do a lot of things that you anticipate a good back should be able to do. The thing he brings to the table, too, is he's an outstanding special-teams player. |
He caught a lot of balls in one game all of a sudden. That's good. That helps you. ... I think he did a good job blocking. He's a good player. We drafted him as a blocking tight end who can catch the ball. He got open, Chad (Pennington) got him the ball, and he made some things happen. |
