[There is no cure, but there are ways to deal with the problems caused by dyslexia. Jeremy's parents, Rebecca and Jerry Gray, want other parents to know that dyslexia is not uncommon. It's also an inherited trait and doesn't have anything to do with intelligence.] My advice to other parents is to talk to their kids, ... Talk to their teachers and see what they're saying and what they're doing in schools. |
[While Sherman Independent School District does have a program in place to deal with students that have dyslexia, Jeremy's parents, decided to send him to the Shelton School in Richardson for his freshman year.] We wanted to get him some help while he was still a freshman, ... It would have been harder to do when he was a junior or a senior. |
A guy with that kind of consistency, you put him with a winning team and he'd be talked about with the best D-ends in the league. I don't think Aaron knows how good he could be if he starts out (stronger) early. |
And if you've got the guy with the demeanor and the talent, I think it's the move to make. The tough thing is finding that guy with the demeanor and the talent. Just one without the other isn't going to get it done. |
Because if you trust that guy and he has the capabilities and puts in the work, he's going to trust you more and more. I always feel like the more suggestions I take from the players, the more film they'll watch. If they know it's an open-door policy, they'll use it. |
Being a head coach in this league is something I've aspired to do ever since I became an assistant with the Titans (in 1997). I've always wanted to be the best at every level. I'm not getting impatient; I'm just determined. I believe I've got a lot to offer if I get that opportunity. |
Go talk to the referees. They have all the answers. |
He knows that if he was playing corner, these are the things he would be doing. Now he's got a younger guy that he can he help out and bring further along. It's like I have a coach on the field. |
He's got a cornerback mentality, and now he has to understand to play like a safety. I know that he wants to get into the action, but I always preach to him, 'This is your job right now.' ... He's adjusting. |
I don't know if it's happening more with the emphasis on downfield contact, but you notice the guys who can do it a little more. You watch the film and the guys who can make that matchup work really can help you. |
I don't think so. If you're a defensive coordinator and they want you, they're not going to give you permission to go somewhere else. ... So I'm pretty sure that means they're letting you go be a D coordinator elsewhere because they've got other plans here. |
I learned a lot last year, and I'm still learning. Mike has given me a lot of responsibility. (General manager) Tom Donahoe let me go on the road to scout before the draft. He asked my opinions about players we needed. I really appreciate their faith in me. |
I like playing strength to strength, |
I talked to Marv and he pretty much gave me permission to go and seek another job somewhere else, so I have no problem with that. Would I like to be interviewed for the head coaching job? Yes. I know the players on offense and defense and I think I have their respect. |
I think players like to play that way, |
