I am not sure how anybody treats a regular-season game like an exhibition game. |
I am not sure how anybody treats a regular-season game like an exhibition game. The big difference is that when you play your last pre-season game, there are 65 players on your team. You have a chance to play your second unit. |
I can tell you from firsthand experience after winning a couple of Super Bowls, if you don't win them, people don't care, ... You've got to win championships. |
I can't say it's any one thing. He's in his third year. He feels comfortable with the system. I think it's a process and hopefully, he can keep it up. |
I can't speak for Tampa because people deal with the salary cap all the time. There are a lot of times you'd love to have a player and he's making too much money, and you have depth at that position. But I'm sure glad we've got John Lynch on our football team. |

I can't worry about somebody's confidence, |
I didn't see what happened. I thought we had a first down. |
I don't think along those terms until it happens. You've got an off-season to go through at the end of the season and you've got a procedure you go through every year. It's always nice to have a couple extra draft picks, and you're hoping when it's time, you get a couple good players out of it. |
I don't think anybody knows until a guy actually does it. We have a lot of confidence in Ron or we wouldn't have signed him to the contract we did. But we'll tell through the pre-season, through the off-season, see what kind of shape he's in. And when he's given the opportunity, we'll see how he does. |
I don't worry about him not playing in the (preseason) games. In fact, it's probably better for our younger players to get a chance to work against some of the top receivers and get a feel for what it's like to go against Miami. |
I feel very fortunate, |
I feel very good (about the No. 3, 4 and 5 receivers), |
I feel very good about Bradlee. He's gotten better all year. If Jake does go down for some reason, I think Bradlee would come in and play well. |
I felt so good about the running backs and what they've done, |
