It's not like the NFL to make any exceptions for anyone, so I don't know that they would, ... We haven't talked about petitioning anything at this point. We had this conversation (in the past) with Jerry's agent, as far as the timing of it and all of those things. We want to respect Jerry Rice and anything that might be his wishes, but at the same time we're in the process of putting a football team together and we don't want to do anything that compromises the team. |
It's part of the game. It teaches us to deal with adversities. It's going to happen during the season, so we need to get used to it now. We've had to move some guys, but we're going to be fine. |
It's unacceptable to lose that game. They ought to feel the same way. It's unacceptable. We're not a 2-14 football team. When you all of a sudden think that you're a 2-14 football team, that's an OK performance. |
Jeff's a real warrior, ... Jeff's the kind of guy who's going to go out there and play on one leg if he can. Jeff's going to be a 49er for a long time, and that's a real tough call. ... I know what Jeff wants to do in the worst way, but you have to be smart. |

Jerry has been a very important part of the 49er history and tradition. He certainly was a champion on and off the field, somebody everybody looked up to. And we'll give him all the respect he deserves. |
Joe felt he had the distance, ... but that time it came up a little short. |
Joe is the strength of our football team. |
Joe is the strength of our football team. I have a tremendous amount of confidence in him. Joe felt he had the distance, but that time it came a little short. |
John will support anything that I would like to do. He would like reasons for it, but if I need something or want something , I'm sure I'll have a lot of reasons for it because I'm not going to do anything selfishly. |
Johnny spends more time with the players than I do. What he does is critical to our success. |
Jonas has a strained something or other in there. I don't know what you strain in there. He'll be listed as probable. |
just going hard like he always does. He goes as hard as can be. He thinks the (recovery period) will be less than it could be. |
Just stay under the radar, guys. Just do your job. |
Ken did a nice job in practice, ... We'll know tomorrow (Thursday) as far as Alex's status. It looks more and more like it will be Ken...It's leaning toward Ken. |
