Roy can be as good as anybody in the league. Charles has as much downfield ability as whatever is out there. He's not up there with Randy because he's not as fast. But he's pretty fast. And Mike is a huge man who runs well who doesn't know what he's doing. |
So part of the plan from the beginning is we've got to get somebody who can solidify that thing. Preferably if you can get two, you get two. And we still don't know the answer. We're betting on the come on both of these kids. But we think we have a pretty good feel for where it's at. We've still got some holes, but we think we filled one of them. |
So, right now, there's a caveat with each guy. |
Some of you may ask: '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. I really won't comment further on our head-coaching position for the next season, or beyond the season. |

That was a great pick for us. We had him rated very highly on the board -- higher than No. 9, that's for sure. We have high expectations for him. |
That's a new one on me. |
That's what our game is. Our game's not ?get it done in three years.' Our game is right now. Our game is an immediate game. We go into each quarter, and you've got to win each play to win each quarter. You've got to win each quarter to win the game. |
The first thing is, the most important thing is, I'm going to be patient with the whole thing - practically patient. I know what we need. We know what we're looking for. We know those qualities exist out there. We have to find the right guy with the right qualities for this football team. |
