I was in denial at that time. I read the quote the next day and I thought I might have been pushing a little bit. |
I was in meetings and did get a chance to see him. It's just good to know he is up and around and doing well. |
I was pleased, because that's what happens during the season, ... You're going to lose some starters, some guys that are the leaders on your football team. You've got to have depth and guys have got to step up and play hard and play consistent. I think we had some of that today. |
I was really pleased with Brian, ... With the pressure he had on him, that last drive was a big one.... This is a tough profession. You can't be thin-skinned. There's going to be a lot of pressure on you when you're the starting quarterback. But we understand that some guys have those days. I thought he played excellent in the first half. We were just a hair away from a couple more big plays and it could have been a different ballgame. |
I watch a lot of college film, not only looking at what different colleges do from an offense and defensive standpoint, but also evaluating players, ... so we do that quite a bit during the off-season. Especially a team like LSU, who has a number of players (in draft consideration) year-in and year-out. |
I would say on Friday, I should be able to give you an idea. |
I'd never seen anything like that before. That shows you the kind of respect the man has. |
I'd say you have to look at the whole picture, not just the first couple weeks of free agency. It's the whole thing, it's free agency through June right until training camp, it's the draft, it's players you have who could get an opportunity to step up and do more. |
I'd see him upstairs. One time, I said, 'Jerry, what are you doing?' ... He said, 'I was looking at film. I'm looking at the top 10 receivers in the AFC and the top 10 receivers in the NFC. I don't want any of these young guys ever to catch me.' |
I'm good to go. Everything's squared away. He's practiced the whole week and he's looked pretty good. |
I'm looking at the top 10 receivers in the AFC and the top 10 receivers in the NFC. I don't want any of these young guys to ever catch me. |
I'm not really sure myself. Or maybe I am sure and I'm just not telling you. We'll get a chance to see the guys get some reps during the week and we'll go from there. |
I'm not really sure yet, |
I'm not really sure yet. We'll get a better feel before the game and decide how many plays he can play. |
I'm not really sure. It could be quick. It could be a little bit later. I have a few different directions to go. I'm not really sure right now. I'm going to let a little time go by and find out what my options are. |
