It's been evident that they've worked together for a good period of time, |
It's getting around to that point to take another look at it, but he's still a couple of weeks away, at least two to three. |
It's hard to replace a player of his caliber, but we're looking at this as an opportunity for another good player to step up and fill his shoes. I think it might be a motivation for us. If anything, they might even want to play even harder for him. |
It's hard to see him go. But that's the tough part about this business when you want to make a change and, in some instances, a big change at the coordinator's spot. But it was necessary to make the change. |
It's learning on the run. |
It's pretty much the norm of what we felt was going to take place. We've got to play better in other areas, which I think will help his progress in the long run. |
It's unfolded exactly the way you'd think. We brought in Kelly for a reason. Because his experience, his playing time, his playoff experience, all the things he brings to the table as a proven veteran. With J.P., (he's) a guy who's trying to still take steps toward being that quarterback we know he can be. Their play shows it. Anything that's not surprising about that is surprising. That's what you'd expect from those two quarterbacks because of the experience factor. |
J.P.'s the starter, and I'm going with J.P.. I think everyone understands that. |
Last year we went into camp with the unknowns. I feel much better about them (this year). I think they've played well in the games. We're better there and I think our offense is better because of it. |
Lee is ready to go. I wouldn't count numbers based on preseason games. Lee's prepared. I think he'll have a productive season. |
My initial reaction is I thought he made some good throws. There's a lot more positives in his play than there were negatives. |
Now, does everyone understand why we got rid of Travis Henry? ... The guy had a drug problem, and we knew it. Look, he had a poster of Ricky Williams in his locker, and Travis was always late for meetings that started at 4:20. He was expendable. |
Offensively, we didn't play well enough. We played very undisciplined football, and you can't do that, especially against a very good defense. |
People have a pretty good idea about Mike Williams only being out a year. I know where he was ranked as far as round last year. I don't know how much that may have dropped off compared to Maurice. I know he had a good workout when he worked out (last year) in Tampa. I think there's a better feel for what he's capable of doing. Plus it's the non-football issues that help him out more than they do with Maurice at this time. |
Probably one of our most consistent players before he got hurt. He was playing well ... holding the point in the run game. You are going to miss something when you lose those guys, but the good football teams find a way to fill. |
