his accuracy, leadership skills and the way he manages a football game. |
I like the idea of these guys getting an opportunity. They have a chance to spearhead the next frontal attack of coaches. |
I played one game, and one snap in the shotgun. I'm the only quarterback that ever did that for him. I tried to get him to incorporate it into our offense back then, so it took him eight more years and 12 years away from the game and one (year) back to realize maybe he should do it. |
I think they have the foundation of a really good-looking football team. His (West's) first (offensive) unit is pretty good all the way around ... receivers, running backs, line, quarterback. I think the Tigers should be a fun football team to watch, they really should. |
It was pow-pow, like two muzzled gunshots. That was my leg breaking. |
It's really bittersweet. It's been such a privilege to work with Mike and Paul all these years, but I'm really looking forward to working with Al, too. |
Laveranues and Rod didn't want to be here and be a part of what was going on, but now Mark has two guys that want to be here and will do anything to help him. Plus, Mark can anticipate the speed of the receivers better than Patrick can. He'll be able to get the ball out where Santana can run to it. |
Look, the magic age is not 35. It's all about your health. You first have to recognize what is so obvious this year was how unhealthy Mark was last year, and he never really said a lot about it. He was hurt, and he obviously compounded it by continuing to play. Now the legs are back, the arm strength is back. |
Martin seems to have a very, very good base of the quarterback position. I think the position looks like it's in pretty darn good hands. |
Mike has grown a lot this year. Mike needs to be given a chance to create some stability and create some future. Right now, that organization lives day to day. |
My biggest question wasn't about the organization, the work ethic, none of the things that have been part of Joe's life. My biggest question had to do with how he would adapt and adjust to calling plays in a different time in football. That really was one of the greatest challenges that he faced last year was, 'Can I run my offense as I knew it in this modern day and age of football'. And the answer was no. |
Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein. |
Over the last three years, I found myself getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. After a while, I began to accept that going to the bathroom so frequently was simply part of aging after hitting 50. |
People remember what they were doing the night my leg was broken. |
Terry Bradshaw, college. Do those two things belong together? I have this vision of Terry sitting there with his Hooters wings and a person giving him a haircut from his race car and 50 TVs in front of him. |
