'No. 1, we claimed him because we think he's a very talented player. He's got size, speed, quickness. No. 2, we feel we can have success with guys who are looking for another chance to do well. I think we can relate to that and understand that, and hopefully help him recognize what his abilities are. |
[Another batch of solid free agents and a second good draft bolster his argument.] You just have to keep pluckin' away, ... get some guys that come in and make a difference. |
[In response to the questions, Green promised to talk to Caltrans engineers about delaying the closure by one half hour, and to the Highway Patrol about traffic control.] Stopping the work early is not an option, and the times will be by the Caltrans watch, ... Please do not try to use the road at 7:59 a.m. by your watch. |
A blockbuster deal in my opinion is one that eats up most of your cap space. It means you get one player and one and done. And we're not going to do that. If you ask me if we're going to go after one of the incredible backs that might be available in a blockbuster deal, that probably will not happen. |
A lot of natural strength, and he works at it. He didn't have a great training camp last year, I didn't think. His accuracy seemed to be a little bit off, but like a golf swing, he found out what his groove was. |
A runner has to have holes to run through. J.J. needs holes, |
Adrian Wilson is really one of the best safeties in the game. (But) you have to win in order to get some recognition. |
Al and I have a little bit different philosophy about going about the game, ... I was a head coach for 18 years and never had anybody hire or fire an assistant coach except me. And when you go into the Raiders, you have to keep the staff that's there. ... Therefore I stand by what I said before, there's not a job out there right now that I feel is the right one for me. |

And we have about eight guys who can play guard or tackle. |
Any time one of the 32 teams loses a starting quarterback, it probably makes a difference. |
As they say, a lot of accidents happen around the house so you have to be careful. I'm not sure all the details. I did talk with Calvin and that's the most I could get get from him as far as how it happened. He just kind of slipped and went to brace himself and went through the window. |
Both games we got behind you are not running the ball nearly as much as you want to. Hopefully we can rectify that. |
Broken noses do occur in the game, unfortunately. He kind of got a blow right in between the facemask and his helmet. We'll know more about that once we get an idea from the doctors. |
But that's what's great about this league. Teams like us have hope every year. Football is different from baseball. We share television revenues. That helps equal things out. Plus, it's never been proven that the more money you spend will help you win a Super Bowl. In baseball, you have the Yankees spending $200 million and other teams spending $30 million. That won't happen in football, no matter what happens with the CBA. That's why we're different. That's why teams like us have a chance. |
