Ability without character will lose. The Bills are going to be a team of high character. That stamp I will push very hard. I hope we can convey that to our fans and project something very special to the rest of the nation. |
Again, I don't want to say. You may think there's an obvious thing to read into, and you may be right, but I don't want to say what our strategy is going to be. |
But I've done it too, |
But I've done it too. After a game is over, your emotions are right there and it's very easy to say something like, 'If some of these guys don't step up, we're going to have to make some changes.' I've then gone into the locker room and told the guys, 'I owe you an apology. |
Change just for the sake of change or for cosmetic reasons is not good. But I'm not close enough to the situation to really assess it. I don't know the inner workings of the staff and Mike. |
He has to be a good teacher. He has to work well with everyone in the organization. And he has to be a straight shooter with his players and, as hard as it is, with the media. |
He was an extroverted, assertive person, but he was a very unselfish player. He was smart enough to know when he needed to be relieved. He wasn't worried about his stats, so we'd put in Kenny Davis or Darick Holmes. |
He's young, he's been to training camp, and he's comfortable with it. He's not the nervous rookie quarterback who is trying to adapt and learn while you're waiting for him to develop. He's very much ready to emerge in my opinion. I like his ability to throw the ball. |
I believe that every source possible is important but I still think the backbone of the league is the draft. I'd give the largest percentage to the draft, but it isn't a percentage large enough to win the election. You need more than that. |
I didn't have the feeling that I would be back. |
I don't even want to comment. I'm commenting more on coaching than I should, until I get a chance to meet with Mr. Wilson. We wanted to cross this hurdle before we talk about that. |
I got some very good advice once. That was: You're not talking to a reporter, you're talking to the public. We didn't hide things. They are a little more guarded now. |
I had bigger things to worry about; I had to figure out a way to stop [former Dolphins quarterback Dan] Marino. |
I know Eric had an unsettling season last year. We hope we can work something out so he can be here. Restructuring is possible. |
I know the NFL feels strongly that they don't like the impact of betting, but they also know it's there and it's going to happen, |
