We knew we had enough time to kick it. It's the way it should have been. Thankfully, we have Jason. |
We love the way he plays the game. We're looking for somebody who can knock people off the ball for us and that can also stretch the field a little bit. He's very athletic for a big guy. He's got that speed, and that will keep some people honest. Primarily we liked how he knocked people off the ball. |
We love Willis. We'd just love him a little more if he had been here. We know this, he is down there working. We'd just like to get him with our team and working with the guys on those occasions when he can make it. |
We need to play as well as we can play, perform as hard as we can perform and see what we can get out of it. |
We need to take these next five weeks, and we need to play ... and see what we can get out of it. I don't have plans other than the next game. |
We wanted a three-man push there, thinking that the three of them would bring the level of play up of all of them a little bit higher and then one of them will surface (as the starter). At some point, we'll have to start changing the reps, because somebody hopefully will take the job. It'll be interesting. |
We'd like to have him in, but we also understand his position in this thing. |
We'd like to have him in, but we also understand his position in this thing. It'll straighten itself out over time one way or the other. We obviously value his abilities a great deal. |
We'll do all we can to work together to get this thing where everybody wants it to be. The fact is that you have to be multiple in whatever you do. The name of our game is to win. |
What I learned is you better win. When you win, you're pretty smart. When you don't, you're not. |
When you win, the odds are you're not making any changes. But I'm not going against my Wednesday decision-making process here. But I think you could probably guess. |
With Willis and our young right tackle Jason, we feel like we can help our quarterbacks mature, make the game a little easier for them, if we can run the ball successfully, play-action pass, keep some people really honest and fearful of what we're going to do running the football. |
You certainly invest a lot of time and money into gathering your information, so it makes no sense to be free with it or give it away to anybody. Particularly at the top of the draft, people are pretty close. |
You gotta get lucky, in some terms. You gotta get on some players who maybe don't think they're that good and they play a lot better than they are. You gotta get on it in terms of injury, and then you have to make the right choices personnel-wise. The ones you think are going to be players, they all gotta be players and they gotta play up to it, so it's possible, definitely possible. |
You have a veteran quarterback in Kelly, who is comfortable with his game. J.P. is a young quarterback and plays like one. ... He needs to be better for what he went though last year. |
