Evaluations, off-season projects, we'll probably start on that next week sometime. Coach McCarthy gave us a timetable of starting next Monday at 1 o'clock - we'll be all football. |
I know Nick Barnett is the most productive player right now. In the future, I'm going to anticipate these guys probably will want to upgrade that position. I hope they will address it and really get some guys in here who can make things happen. |
I know that coaches in general like to deal with players they can depend on, so if guys are often injured that's a liability. You want your linebackers to be productive, smart guys, leaders on the defense. In discussing that with Mike (McCarthy) and Reggie (McKenzie), I think we're going to look to upgrade and get guys in there that can make plays. |
I like very active, fast, quick, playmaking linebackers that compete every single down and give great effort. Those are just the important characteristics I look for in linebackers. |
It's basically getting to know the new guys that you're working with, getting lost a couple times in the building, finding your way around. Get settled, before we actually have to work on football. |
