The problem with signing our guys right now, almost none of the agents want to sign right now. They are afraid now if they go out and do a deal, they are going to get criticized for it.
-
We had a miserable first year (6-10 in 2004), and that's real hard on you. So you go in the second year knowing you've got to make something happen. Being able to get 10 wins, that helps a lot. It gives the whole organization confidence. If we hadn't gotten into the playoffs, it would've been a real downer. Getting in the playoffs was somewhat of a turning point for us.
-
We're excited to have Brandon here. We think he'll add something to our program. He's a gifted receiver.
-
All of our guys thought he was on the ground. That's what everybody told me. I didn't see it, but that's what instant replay is for.
-
One thing about Patrick is he's a real good student. I think he's smart, and kind of knows when you put in the game plan that he's got a feeling for it.
-
It's exciting to me, ... because we're getting back some high quality players that have been missing for a while.
-
It's a situation where it's tough for Tom and tough for us, ... We think the world of him.
-
You win and you're in; you lose and you're out. We've been in that situation the past four weeks, ever since the three (consecutive) losses (in November).
-
We'll continue to talk about that all week.
-
I think we realized what was at stake.
-
Right now, everybody is nervous. Certainly, we're one of those teams. We have a worst-case scenario that we have been working on for several weeks and we have a best case and everything in between.
-
He's smart. He's been around a bunch. He kind of understands the game plan. He can walk through the game plan.
-
No. I think I know what his feeling is and he knows ours. He's a very important guy and we've invested a lot in him. But we can say he's frustrated with the situation over the last couple years with us. We've had a good game plan talking things over and we're moving ahead with it and we'll see where it ends. I wouldn't have a guess if something is going to work out or not.
-
We feel pretty comfortable as a team. I don't think we're under pressure to take any one particular spot, to be truthful, right now. I think we can be pretty comfortable at 53, just taking the best athlete.
-
They did some things early on in there that threw us some curve balls. On defense, they did a real good coaching job on that part. We had to kind of struggle to get things going again, but we did control the ball, which is a big deal.
-
Mark just doesn't make mistakes. If you watch him, he's mistake-free.
-
He has fantastic long-ball, and ball reactions, ... Very few people can snatch a ball right out of the air like that quick. And then the other thing, he's got a great burst, and when you get him going downfield and put in the ball reaction, he can be running, I think, and doesn't even put his hands up until the last second because he has such confidence there in where the ball is. Even though he's a shorter receiver, I think he's very much a downfield threat because of that, and then, of course, he's got great speed.
-
It is fun being in, I'll say that. It's a thrill to be in the playoffs. I really enjoy that part of it. From that standpoint, it makes the day much easier.
-
If you were to draw it up, I would say the best way to win the game is to move the ball ourselves and keep them off the field.
-
You're hoping for a new CBA because it frees up a lot of money for all of us.
-
It's been pretty traumatic, ... I thought we were kind of set there in a lot of ways. It just goes to show in the NFL you're never sure.
-
He has a bone bruise, plus he has a chip, which we cleaned out. We sat and talked to Brandon a long time. He is super important to us. We decided it was probably best for the team and for him, rather than to try and rush him back, to put him in IR.
-
I'll probably address this for the last time.
-
I think he feels more pressure the second year to get better, ... We definitely don't want to repeat last year. No one does here.
