Under the circumstances as they are now, we may never see another coach win three Super Bowls in our lifetime. |
Unfortunately, it's just part of the business, |
Until we know for sure all that's out there, we're just not going to jump the gun, and we have to be a little bit more patient and make sure we know what players are out there. |
Usually, it takes two years for an offensive lineman to develop. So this would be the time to bring one in. |
We are happy this process has reached a conclusion and look forward to moving ahead together. |
We can't place too much emphasis on one loss. |
We could have taken a tight end earlier. We want to create competition at that position. There will be some veteran players flushed out, with all the guys who were drafted, and we will look at those. |
We do have a plan. But we have a good nucleus, so we're going to be very selective. |
We don't want to do what they did in Miami and bounce him around. We want to lock him in on something now. |
We feel good about what we're going to do. We have a plan for free agency. |
We feel that the history of (Benson's) position as a rookie bodes well (for learning fast), and that was partly why we did what we did on draft day, too. |
We feel the history of his position for rookies bodes well. |
We had a chance to visit with him and spend some time with him down in Mobile [at the Senior Bowl]. I was very impressed obviously with his arm strength and with his size. And when you meet him, you don't like people if you don't like him. |
We had a couple guys in mind. Unfortunately it didn't work out. One went about seven or eight picks before we were prepared to take him. |
We have a little bit more latitude this year. We want to stay with the best player available. Everybody says it, but we really want to stay true to that. |
