(Bettis) is the kind of player that the game needs, the game thrives on, and the game grows around. |
A very tough guy, hard working guy, loves the game, studies the game. He's very, very into football. It's important to him. |
Absolutely. In our league, when you go to a game, you see five receivers on the field, a lot of four, three receivers. You see empty (backfield) in every situation. So if you don't have at least three really good (corners), it'll be long Sundays. |
Coaches and players are pretty exhausted by this point, but you never look forward to it. You work so hard, and it seems like it goes so quickly and that last practice is on you, and you want it to keep going. You like being around a team. You like being part of a team. |
Every position is competitive. Whether you have Jim Kelly or Bruce Smith, if there is a better player that can take those jobs from those guys, then God bless us, we've got a heck of a football team in the making. |
First, it is hard for me to picture that as a pass -- it looks more like a fumble. On the holding call, I'm probably seeing what I want to see, but it looked to me like it was in the end zone. |
He has been a credit to the game for a long time. The way he plays it and then his personality outside of it He brings joy to the game and I have always liked that. |
He is a terrific return man. We knew that. We certainly had worked on not letting that happen, so that was a big disappointment. But there are some times when they just executed better than we did, and that was one of them. |
He was disappointed, we were disappointed. As soon as he heals he'll be back out working. |
He's a high-character guy, a high-motor guy. He's a young guy with an upside. He's starting to play really good football. He's got athletic ability to make plays out of the three technique [lining up opposite the outside shoulder of a guard]. |
He's a high-quality player and clearly has had a lot of years of high-level play. He's been an integral part of (the team) for a long time. |
He's been in positions with teams that run a scheme that I like. I've always had a lot of respect for it. It's specific. It follows a teaching progression, I like that. You play fast in it, I like all those things. I trust Perry. It's time for him. I think he'll do a tremendous job. |
He's not a guy who runs with the ball. He's not a guy who gets tackled. |
He's rare. He runs athletically. |
He's very good. Very solid in the pocket, very comfortable, doesn't seem to rattle, strong arm. |
