So, with the health problem like he seems to have, he's got to take care of it. He's got to take care of himself, his family. He's got to think of way more things than football, of winning a football game. But it's hard for us. It's hard for all of us to back away on something like that. |
Some of it was by design, ... Some of it timed out right with contracts and different things. Some times you can't turn over even if you want to because of salary cap restrictions or whatever. |

Talk about kind of a no-name group, ... They've played pretty well in the preseason. I've been very pleased with their attitude, how they fly around. It's a real healthy situation in the locker room. |
Talking with some of them today, they were still in the stage of, 'Pinch me. Did it really happen?'. |
That can take up to four weeks, is what I've been told, |
