We've been all over the place. I've been traveling a bunch. |
We've got a long way to go. But I thought they took a good first step. It was a nice introduction for everybody, for the players to the staff, and for the staff to the players. |
We've got to get that thing as strong as possible. We could do a lot of different things. Now, all the stars have to line up. Let's be clear: It's for a backup guy. |
What stands in our way is the here-we-go-again attitude that starts in the city, in the streets and carries over into our locker-room, ... We can't escape it unless we win. And even when we do win, people will say, 'Give them time, they'll screw it up,' so we've got to win a lot. |

What the heck happened in Minnesota? |
What you watched today, the last day of the season, you're going to see the exact same thing. It's the same thing we talked about six years ago when I got here. It's about the attitude. It was the first thing we talked about. Well, we're finally getting to it. |
What? Leadership? After that game, everything's a desperate need. |
Whatever we do at that pick, it's not going to be a reflection on who you don't take. It's where we're at and how do we get better now? I always laugh when I see it written like team bypassed so and so. Well, that's easy to say in hindsight. But what it means is we chose so and so, because at that time, that's where we were at. OK? |
When I think of the Detroit Lions, I think of a tough, physical group. I think of a disciplined group. I think of all the things that football is. That's what we have to do. I think we have to find the right guy that embodies those qualities, and somebody who can bring everything together. |
Why now? Why not at the end of the season? To me, it's simple. We have five games left. We have five games to develop our younger players. We have five games to prove we are what we think we are. |
Yes, they have a chance to be [the best in the NFC North], ... The talent is there, but there's so much work to be done first. |
You always think of the ones that get away. |
You can tell people the truth and everyone thinks you're lying, and you can lie and everyone thinks you're telling the truth. |
You hope there are going to be three drafted. If there aren't, you adapt. |
