It wasn't his best effort. He will play better. He was hobbling a little bit, but that's part of football. He's one of our guys who we expect to play better. He's one of our leaders and best players. So we're counting on Levi, just like we're counting on (right tackle) Willie (Anderson). |
It will be good to have him out there and get him going, but, remember - he was here the whole offseason with us. So hopefully we'll pick up where he left off. |
It's a pretty typical play whether they show it or not. It's a fundamental football play. Just cover your man. Don't let your eyes go to where they don't belong. |
It's a tough decision. It should be. A lot is determined how we practice during the week, |
It's an exciting week for the city. For our football team, I'll keep them calm and let's just get ready to play the football game. But I think for everybody else it's going to be an exciting week. |
It's good. It puts the focus back on the game and takes it away from guys bringing attention to themselves. |
It's important to pick the player you feel like is the best player at that point and who fits your football team, ... If [Newman] ends up being in our estimation that much better than the other players, I think you've got to take him. Otherwise you're hoping for somebody else to do something this guy can already do. ... Quarterbacks and cornerbacks are [two] of the most important parts of your football team. |
It's my fault, so I'll take responsibility and we'll coach harder. We'll improve it, and we'll do a better job and we'll play better football, or else we'll keep getting new guys, better guys. We'll find a way. |
It's not going to be a surprise on draft day. As quick as we can, we want to come to a consensus and a decision. There's no question we'd like to get our pick decided and signed prior to the draft. There's no secret there. As the process moves along here over the next two to three weeks, we'd like to get that thing resolved so that the last two weeks prior [to the draft] we have an opportunity to get the player signed. |
It's one of those myths that we've knocked down, another one of those walls, and I think that's big. |
It's tough to win on the road in the NFL. Coming out here, they were hot after last week's victory. |
It's unfortunate. We're not going to sit here and baby and cry like their quarterback did. |
It's up to him to tell me he's ready to practice seven days in a row, if that's what (the threshold) is. That's what was disappointing about last year: His stress fracture wouldn't allow him to work every day. And I said that I don't want to put pressure on the coaches. If he's in, he's in. He understands that. |
Kevin has been a fine player for us, and he deserves the opportunity he'll get in Houston to be a starting receiver. But as we build our roster for the upcoming season, we believe it's in the best interest of our team to allocate these funds to another position. |
