Matt had a great season two years ago. He had a good season last year. But we need him to be great for us to reach our goal, ... He should be among the top five quarterbacks every year. |
Matt's a pretty emotional player. Each game, he goes off the charts, emotions-wise. But with each game, he gets more confidence. He's starting to manage the game well. |
Matt's just come of age. This is his third year playing all the time and he is making the most of it. |
Maybe when I was coaching Joe Montana we might have tried something else, |
Michael has good instincts and good breaks on the ball. He's not undisciplined. Some of those guys who seem to be where the action is all the time are a little bit undisciplined. |
Mine are a little older than his. I've had the fortune over the years to see his girls grow up and he's seen ours. It's fun. |
Mo (Maurice) Morris did a really good job in place of Shaun and Mack Strong filled in a couple of blanks. |
Most of the time, that's what Bill and I talk about - the women in our lives and we've watched each other's families as they've grown up. It's kind of nice. I deal with young men all day, then go home and find myself surrounded by women. |
Most often, you can't fill the void right away. It's tough to get a player for a player a lot of times. |
My expectation level for him is high, ... Anytime he falls short of that -- fair or not fair -- I will talk to him about it. |
My feeling is, for the short term, at least prior to the bye, we are going to go with the guys we got. If we feel that we have to do something there and add some depth, we will. |
My guess is that people will look back on this draft as being pretty good. |
My guys got a little upset. Players are funny. I hadn't done it the year before, but I thought we needed it. |
My hope is, we'll have him down the stretch. |
Next season, I would expect more from him. I'm always going to push the envelope a little bit, and I think he would expect more from himself. |
