The kid's downright unflappable, ... I mean, I've watched Eli since college and nothing ever seems to bother him. Not being in the NFL. Not playing in the New York spotlight. Not guys dropping perfect passes. Not hellacious hits. Nothing. You won't seem him pout or mope or shrug his shoulders, but you won't see him celebrate much either. |
The signing of Will Demps should complete the [free agency] phase of our rebuilding the defensive secondary. This is a four-year starter on a very competitive defensive team in Baltimore. He's very athletic and can make plays. |
The thing is, he knows the temperature of the water now, ... So we'll get a good sense of what he'll become (in his career) by the end of this season. Between the first and second season is where quarterbacks make their biggest jumps. |
There has been no evolution of the quarterback, |
There is a lot more dead money now. You're basically married to a player for at least two or three years. |
There was a receiver picked the year his brother came out. I heard, 'We picked the bigger receiver.' But he wasn't the better receiver. It is speed that kills. I'm not worried about (size). |
There was never any doubt in my mind, from the day he got here, that he was going to be a head coach and be a successful one. |
There were other safeties up there, but [Wilson] was the fastest, ... And because of that, our big question with him is, Can he track the ball? We can see him as a weak or strong safety. We were not looking for an 'in the box, play close to the line of scrimmage, run-defend only' safety. That's not what we were looking for. We were looking for someone that can do that but who also had the ability to play free safety and play centerfield. And because of his speed, we picked him. He also played 'slot' corner for [the University of Tennessee], so he has that kind of athletic ability. |
There's a great line from [golfer] Bobby Jones - you play the ball where it lies. Whatever the rules are, that's the way you operate. We're prepared for all eventualities and worst-case scenarios. |
These are two body punches we've taken back-to-back, ... We haven't gotten over Wellington. |
They seemed like opposites, but Mr. Mara always had a twinkle in his eye when he was around Jeremy. |
Tomlinson has something Sayers had that is rare -- the ability to stop and, in one step, to have full acceleration, |
Waiting for 25 can be frustrating at times, but you are there for the right reason. You just hope you are even further down every year. |
We all had the unanimous opinion that he [Manning] was a special quarterback. We all felt this was a quarterback you wait for for a long time. |
We are not going to pick a linebacker just to pick a linebacker. That is just not going to happen. We are going to pick a player that is decidedly higher rated. We have options. |
