I hit for the cycle. I got a D-lineman, I got a linebacker, I got a safety and I got a corner. |
I really enjoyed the conversation with Mr. (John) Shaw and Mr. (Jay) Zygmunt. I'm just really happy for the opportunity, and if anything else comes about, it'd be great. ... I guess the only thing I can do is just wait and see what happens. |
I talked with coach (Smith) on a number of occasions. I think the neat thing about it is he does have a lot of insight into the place. |
I think as a coach the ultimate goal obviously is to be a head coach. And you do have to look at the opportunities, where you fit. Does that place in particular fit you? I'll go through the process this week and then again at the same time not lose my focus on what the ultimate goal is, and that's the playoffs. |
I would say depth there is something we probably need to look at. |
I'm at the point when the phone calls come and the preparation is made, all of that stuff will be thought out very carefully before I start making those decisions. |
I'm real happy for the opportunity and if anything else comes about, that will be great. If not, I'm looking forward to next year. |
I'm telling you, he said that. Wade reminded us of it and we all kind of chuckled about it. He never stopped believing. You look at those things and the things that coach Smith has done for us this year, and you most certainly have to say he is coach of the year. |
I'm very happy for him on a personal level. He's a guy who works hard constantly. He deserves big plays to happen to him. If you continue to work, eventually you're going to get something big. |
In a situation like that, I would have never expected him to stumble. |
It kind of reminds me a little bit about what happened against Cleveland and Cincinnati, was giving up the big plays. |
It made me feel very good [to be runner-up]. It shows you are doing some things right, and we are doing a lot of things right here as a team. |
It's a good thing there's only one football at a time. This is a very dangerous group. |
It's an aggressive style of football. The biggest difference is the age. We're probably one of the youngest groups in the NFL. |
It's an invaluable time for him because he can learn so much. It's a little disappointing we didn't get the job done. |
