It's unfortunate. The league will take care of it now, I think. |
Like everybody else, from afar you thought [the Seahawks] had a lot of good players. You know they were inconsistent. The core group, certainly the offense, and Mike's coaching were good things to build on. |
Mike's a father figure for these guys. The guy's consistent, he doesn't change, and he's got a big heart. |
Most people would see that their glasses were broken and do the interview without them. But Tony felt it was important to see who he was talking to, so he kept the glasses on. |
No one was too sensitive, and we could say what we needed to say and bounce things off each other, |
No, but I hear about it. People will tell us that Mel said your pick stunk. |
No. That's not an issue right now, |
Not being together for a long time, that's not good for a defense. The longer you are together as a group, the better you are going to be. We can't fake that. That's just going to take time. How long, I don't know. But I know this, they are working hard at getting everybody on the same page and not making mistakes. That's how you get that started. |
Not every visit is going to be film room, practice. Some of the visits are going to be interviews and getting the detective work done. |
Pressure him and make him throw. And when he runs, you must punish him. He has to feel it. Michael can only take so much of that, like anyone. |
Rod didn't want the 6-6 defensive tackles, ... He wanted the undersized guy who could leverage. He really believed in that, that if you can win the battle of pads, you can get off and make plays. |
Some guys were not on the same page, ... Some players were working harder than other players. Some guys were committed to winning, some guys weren't. It was a little dysfunctional in the group. |
Sometimes you feel like you are getting a canned answer. The coaches love these players in many cases and want good things to happen to them and are going to protect their group. |
Stuff still gets out. (The media) are able to predict, almost to the T, the first 15 picks (of the first round). But you try your best to keep it in-house. |
That is a nice corner list that they have. The safeties are more than I am used to in terms of the pure numbers of guys that we think can play. |
