Now I'm seeing those safeties sitting in the 14, 15 area — a good 5-yard difference. They (the safeties) don't have respect for the deep game. Consequently the windows to throw into become smaller. |
People may want to call it the Moss factor or whatever they want, but there is no doubt in my film study, the vertical stretch that Randy brought that offense is sorely missed right now. When I look at the tape from last year with Moss in that lineup, you've got safeties sitting back there 18, 19, 20 yards, sometimes not even on the screen (of the coaching tape). |
Positive thinking is the key to success in business, education, pro football, anything that you can mention. I go out there thinking that I'm going to complete every pass. |
Quarterbacks make a big difference in the playoffs. With Rex Grossman, the Bears are a team that can conceivably beat you on offense as well as defense, whereas I don't know that you could have said that about Jim Miller. |
These guys know how to pick themselves up and regroup, and that's in large part, because of the leadership on that team, |
They're both serviceable guys. Clearly one of them has to jump out. |
To lead the league in attendance is mind-boggling. I know as well as anyone, you've got to win in Philadelphia and that's our goal. You've got to start winning. |
When you're involved in the National Football League, the competitiveness never leaves you, |
[Bledsoe may be considered old school, but it is the school most quarterbacks attend, including Manning.] They're almost clones, ... They're that similar in their style and how they play the game. I don't think the game has changed from the time Drew was drafted until Eli was drafted. |
[The problem I'm having with Harrington is he should be beyond some of the mistakes he continues to make in his fourth season. He has thrown 1,564 passes, but if the light bulb has gone on, it isn't burning brightly.] I thought I really liked him coming out, ... I saw an upside. But I don't see the growth you like to see in a young quarterback, decision-making wise and throwing wise. |
