Maybe it took me a while to really understand that. But I do understand it now, and if anything, you're more resolute and more determined and more, to be honest with you, downright ticked off to get this thing done. |
McMahon could come out here tonight in the first half and you'll go, 'Holy smokes. Harrington will never see the field.' Or you may go, 'Uh, we'll see.' |
Mike McMahon will be our starter, ... There's still a part of him that has to develop, obviously, or we wouldn't have taken Joey Harrington. But that's not the point. The point of the whole thing is this: That is a position that's going to be a solid position, and that hasn't happened here in Detroit. |
Mike's had a phenomenal camp, but John Joseph [Harrington] is just a little more consistent than Mike, |
No. That's the first I heard of that one. |
Not as many as you'd think, ... There was not much there. |
Now we're waiting for him to get where he's going to go. He'll take another step. |
Our lack of success is not Steve's fault. It's my fault. I really, 100 percent believe that. Steve just came in, and he is what he is, and he's had success doing that. It just didn't work here. |

Our linebackers, we'll have to settle on who is going to be where. But really right now any one of them could be in any of the positions. |
Pay close attention. These same things he's about to tell you, it applies to everybody. It applies to the guys sitting at home. It applies to you people sitting in your seats. It applies to the guy on the line working at Ford. ... It takes no talent to hustle. That's No. 1. That's just giving extra effort, and it takes off from there. |
Quite frankly, ... we have not lived up to our expectations. I believe we've underachieved as a football team, and I also believe we have not developed our younger players, and that's bothersome. |

Right now, where Mike McMahon will be is ahead of Joey Harrington, ... That's just obvious. He's going to know the system better. He's going to know the offense in and out. There's no way that Harrington can just drop right in there. Mike will have to be the guy, and it'll be a good competition. I think he's up to it. In fact, I know he is. |
Rod is a hard worker and we have a lot of work that has to be done here. |
