It was never our intention to make any cuts until the final moment. They had moved the deadline first to 10 p.m. (Thursday), so we were going to work right up to 9:59. |
It's all those fine lines. It's just looking for any edge. |
It's important for this team and where we are at right now that we have that extra insurance policy. |
It's never been our policy to discuss any type of team punishment, ... We've talked to Torrie and he knows exactly where he stands right now. |

Matt showed a lot, not only kicking field goals, but in kickoffs. |
Michael had one of his best years in many ways, although the fumbles were a great negative to the team. He took it quite personally, and he's done a very good job of working on everything this offseason. |
Not because of who you asked about, I think it's unfair to talk about specific players at this time. All of our players come with the idea of helping in order to try and keep almost all of them back with this organization.

And I think we have the same amount of second-year players on this team as we do first-year players. The process will continue and the nice part of it is there's still the core of those champions here that these young guys can play with. |
Qwest without a wireless network is a little bit like the kid who never gets picked for a team in high school. I'm not sure what the attraction is at this point. |
Really, we're in no different position than we have been, although we made a lot of progress. |
Really, what took place is he missed so much of training camp, |

That is a different issue and as you know we are not involved in the program with the NFL and the player. The NFL won't do anything until there's a [legal] resolution that's taken place. The NFL has a due process. |
