[He has] unbelievable balance [between football and family]. If you know him like I know him, you expect that from him. That's just who he is. |
A player can just be so disruptive there. Sometimes, it doesn't show on the stat sheet, but it's knocking down a pulling guard, it's drawing a double-team block, it's knocking a blocker out of the way. You create havoc. You create chaos. |
Actually, he was talking about it this morning. He was even more surprised about how good he was in terms of skills and all the tools that he has. |
At this moment, he's not with us. That's been my decision. |
Every schedule has its challenges, but the bottom line is for us to be ready to play each and every week. It's not about who we play, when we play or where we play. The issue is us -- what we do and how we do it. |
Everybody has their own philosophy. I hope I never stand in the way of my assistants. I've never faced the situation before, but hopefully I'm going to allow guys to seek opportunities. |

Football is a show-me game. |
Football is a show-me game. I'm tired of talking. You start putting on pads and do the work. Let our film talk for us. |
Guys that are really different are gifted. He's just awesome. He's confident. He knows how to move the ball. He's won a Super Bowl (in St. Louis) doing that. |
Hard work, coming out and doing everything we're asking him to do. I mean working hard, and he's got talent. And the offense, the system, is very demanding. And the coaches over there are very demanding. |
He brings great tempo, great character, great toughness to what we're doing. |
He fits right now a lot of the things that we have in place, and the one thing I really liked when I had the opportunity to visit with him is he's flexible. He can work with what he has in the system. |
I don't think you look backwards. |
I don't think you put a timetable on that. It could be done quick, or it could be done maybe a little bit later. I think it's a process. It'll always work itself out. |
