I'm trying to win the West, so to speak. That's our goal, and I'm not trying to necessarily develop someone unless they are the guy. |
I've said all along Ken was an odd-man out, but I believe he'll be a very capable backup. I believe it will take him a few weeks to get into the flow. Hopefully, Alex stays strong and stays healthy, and we won't have to go to Ken any time soon. |
I've said all along, it's one thing to have great energy, but there has to be some sense to the madness in order to be good. And yesterday was a step in the right direction. |
If he had gone through training camp, we might be talking differently about it. He missed six weeks. That's a lot of time. |
If I can add somebody that's got an expertise and knowledge in a certain area that makes us better, I'm going to do everything I can to make it happen. |
If we have another injury, we may have to park him back there at free safety. I tell you he could do it. You look at him play wide receiver. He's shagging balls. I hate to take him out of the quarterback mix. |
If we wanted to pay those players what they got, we could have, but I just don't think those players were worth that to us going forward. When you compete against 31 other (teams), that's what happens. Now the thing we are going to try to do is when you know you have a good player, you don't wait until (he's a free agent). |
If we were introducing the offense, it would be Bush. But, it depends on what formation we start out in. |
If you don't teach it early, and lay it on them later, they are a little reluctant. |
If you get him the ball, yes. If all you do is block with him, then I would say no. I believe Vernon Davis would do a lot of the same things (as Gonzalez). Wherever he goes, I think people will utilize him the same way. If they don't, then it's a misuse of funds. |
If you go back before Andy Reid got there, that franchise was a lot like this one eight months ago, |
If you just sit back and try to slow the bleeding, it's hard to compete with a good player like that, ... Rather than getting into the scheme, we have to do what our players allow us to do. |
If you put 300 pounds on my body, you have an obese man. If you put 300 pounds on some of our players' bodies, you don't. |
In all my years in this league, you'll find guys who say, 'I don't like tall this, or short that, or big that.' Personally, because I've had so many experiences with players who were tall, short, fat, skinny, that were good football players ... I'm looking for good football players. |
In my opinion, in time, (Battle) is much like a Hines Ward-type of guy. They're very tough, very physical and very versatile. Both of them were quarterbacks in college. They make a lot of plays, they understand football, and they compete at a very high level. |
