I like where we're headed at linebacker. I like that mix. Certainly, we miss Ed. But we've got to keep going. Those three guys (starting), they're athletic, they're fast, they're aggressive. They're going to start making a lot of big plays. |
I look back at it now . . . I was so bitter, and I was so immature, and I was so spiteful and resentful, and I took it so personal, that I was unhappy. It was awful to go through, but what a great learning experience because it's never going to happen to me like that again. I let it get to me, and I shouldn't have. |
I love it when he runs. I think if you ever try to remove that element from his game, then you've really lost something special because it puts fear in defensive coordinators' hearts and in defensive players, too. |
I love Mike's passion. He gets up and head butts a [linebacker]. I would rather that that not happen, but I'm not going to tell him not to. I love the energy, the passion and the emotion as long as it doesn't go any further that. Mike's a fighter. He's a competitor, and a winner, and he's probably getting tired of getting hit. |
I really don't, for a number of reasons. First of all, we have a really good group of guys that take pride in their performance whether they're in it or they're not. Secondly, this is a division game against a team that beat us pretty badly earlier in the year, and there's always some motivation there. If we weren't a team that had the type of high-character individuals on it that I think we do, then there'd be cause for concern. I think we'll give it our best shot. |
I saw that, ... and I just thought how impressive it was. It was like, 'There's more to do.' |
I see him analyzing the game more effectively. He's trying to become more of a big-picture guy. He can be a premier corner in this league. |
I still think about things like lining up for the national anthem and having to stand on the 50-yard line like head coaches do, |
I tell you what, ... those guys were introducing themselves as they went in there. |
I think a lot of people are still narrow-minded when it comes to accepting alternate ways on how to play a position. We see that with Mike (Vick) all the time, obviously. People want him to be something he's not. |
I think he has handled this whole thing, with the hurricane, moving to San Antonio, and uprooting families and starting all over again, as well as it could be handled. |
I think he has made really good decisions with the ball, |
I think he should be OK. His hamstring tightened up a little bit, but it doesn't appear that it is serious. |
I think he's a great, great player. |
I think it was Tampa [a 27-0 road lost last season], and the Kansas City game [a 56-10 loss where] I kind of made a big issue [ahead of time] about crowd noise and the environment. I learned a lesson doing that. You control what you can control, that's basically the message. |
