I love Bubba. He's probably the one guy who gets the least amount of respect for what he does. He does a great job for us. |
I mean, it's the smart way to play. You force (offenses) to take a 4- or 5-yard throw when they need 8 or 9 (yards for a first down) and then the back has to run and go get it. |
I think (Green) in his mind wants to have a big game and is ready to have a big game. So all we have to do is feed him, give it to him. |
I think that will help us. The confidence he brings by making the right calls and the experience that he's got, that will help us. |
I'm fine. Other than my cholesterol is high and the problems I had before, but all the pictures were positive and there isn't any blockage. |
I'm hoping he'll play another four or five years. |
If anything, we're going to dig in and do more because we're very close and we've got to get over the edge. |
If they come back -- when they come back -- it will be an added boost. (It will be) another shot of adrenaline to get those playmakers back. And I consider Robert Ferguson and David Martin guys who can make plays. |
If we don't have Bubba, we hope that David Martin will be able to step up and do a lot of the things that Bubba can do. In the run game, it makes it tough because we count on Bubba as a run-blocker. |
It juices up our guys. It gives you momentum. It gives you life. It makes your team feel like it's controlling the line of scrimmage. |
It really limits us in our passing game. We like to use two tight ends in our passing game and we couldn't. |
It seemed like he's in pretty good shape. It looked like he had zip in his legs. We'll see. He's had a week off - he should have some fresh legs. |
It'll be Brett, then Aaron, then probably O'Sullivan. Nall, I don't know about. We'll see how it goes. |
It's hard to comment on him. I'll have to go back and look at the tape. It looked like he was getting a drive going and then two people would move. We dropped a couple balls on him, too. |
It's still up in the air. |
