[This is] a great moment for me both professionally and personally. Working with the coaches here and the Brown family has been a tremendous experience. I love our prospects for being a great team into the future and we love living in Cincinnati. |
8-8 was good because the record hasn't been that good in the past, but at 8-8 you lose half your games. That's nothing to write home about, nothing to be proud of. We're definitely expecting to take drastic steps from last year into this year. |
A lot of it is just experience, |
A lot of it is just experience. I've had a year underneath my belt and played. Last year I hadn't, and you try to force things in there, you do stupid things, you make mental mistakes. Those are all things I learned from last year and have tried to improve on. |
Before we're a championship team, we need to get better offensively and really take advantage of every turnover, ... We punted a lot today. |
Chad really is harmless. He's a little kid at heart and does a lot of things that make you laugh. He just loosens the mood and makes you realize, we're still playing a game. |
Complete 80-85. Don't set limits for yourself. The ones we really want to eliminate are the ones he completes to the other team. Then show the consistency to stay at a high level. |
Ever since I've known Troy, he's just let it go. He doesn't cut it. That's just his thing, his style, ... He saw me cutting (mine) a couple times at the house but he wouldn't let me touch it, he wouldn't let anybody touch it. I like it, though. It's his style. Troy's a very unique individual, and he's got his own style and his own ways. |

First and foremost, we want T.J. to play. We're a better offense with T.J. on the field. But those other guys do a great job of stepping up. |
Football is a very physical game; things happen. I don't hold a grudge at all. I don't think he meant to do it. It's part of the game. ... It's a freak accident. |
He did well when he threw from the pocket, setting up, but when he was on the move, he wasn't as impressive or as accurate as I thought he'd be. |
He just had a bad run-in with his agent. He didn't want it to be as big of a deal as it is. He didn't even realize how big of a deal it would be. He's got a lot of people representing him. Leigh was just one of the guys and he just decided to go in a different direction. |
He knows how to handle himself with a big media crowd and a lot of attention, because he's done it most of his career. He's great at it. From that standpoint, you have to feel he'd do very well in New York. |
He knows the playbook inside and out. He's strong. |
