There's not a lot of truthfulness going on. |
There's still a few battles left. Those players know where those battles are, and they're all going to try to have the game of their life. |
These guys, they were below the line on their height, or they're at a small school or whatever. So they came below the radar. But they loved the game so much it never deterred them, and I like that in terms of what it makes up in their character and attitude. |
They want our (second-round pick). So our chances of moving are not very good. |
This is fun. The town is excited. That can only be a good thing. |
This is my job. I've got some friends on the Atlanta team, and they will always be friends when that's appropriate. So really, the emotion part comes with the players and coaches. You have to be emotional to win the game and they know it. |
Those guys are exceptional, there's no question about it. |
Tony would run our coaches out of there to get back to their families when it was getting too late in the night. |
We are still working free agency. I think last year our most productive period was about from now even on past the draft. It's still ongoing. There won't be as many big-name people come down, but there's a lot of good need-type, value-type people still out there. |
We can't accept that, |
We consider trading down when the guys that we projected would be there, aren't there. They're all gone and we have to go to our next group, our next grade level. That's when we'll make the calls. Those guys are gone, let's go to our next group. The value is less because we graded them less. Let's see if we can get some takers and get another pick later on. |
We had some divisiveness in the locker room, so we had to shake up what was in the shoebox. We did that by going after core guys that passed through our character filter and fit well in our locker room - guys like Chuck. |
We have a good football team. This team went to the Super Bowl and we are on a run right now. We are excited about what the future holds _ and a big part of it is this guy sitting to my right. |
We just can't say it. We have to do it. |
We just made a run for the Super Bowl, so everybody's feeling good about themselves. Obviously our players become more attractive to other teams. So they get some ideas in their head. We'd love to have them all back, but that's hard to do. We're in a good spot in terms of where our talks are with all of our players. |
