When I was out there, I really enjoyed talking to Al,
If a player has a lot of longevity and production, you're looking at two factors -- skill and durability,
I don't think you can do much of anything. I don't know what we're working with (financially). Until that's defined, it seems like an exercise in futility.
I expect Tom to play. How much, we have to make that determination.
I enjoy the competition of all the games. I love to coach and be in a competitive situation where we're up against the greatest players and the greatest coaches on a weekly basis. It's very challenging but it's very exciting, and that?s true every week.
For the short amount of time he was here, he worked hard and picked up things pretty well, assignments and all that. It's tough to bring a guy in here off the street who's not familiar with your system and then put him in the game for a significant amount of plays. To his credit, I thought he was competitive.
He's done what we've asked him to do. I don't think that he's had any problem with it,
He's got some size. He's a fast guy. He's got some experience on special teams. We'll put him into the mix and see what he can do.
He's big. He's athletic. He's strong. He is very smart, so he can handle a lot of multiple responsibilities and he is flexible enough athletically to be able to do a number of things. He can block bigger people. He has a variety of skills.
He's getting better. I just talked to him, he's feeling better. He's a looking better, he's a lot better than he was last week.
He's been here for three years, won a couple of championships, been a great leader. He's done really everything that we've asked.
He's been healthier this year, ... He's been out there every day. He's got a lot of reps so his technique and timing are better. Tom's a smart guy. He's worked hard to improve his overall body strength since we got him. And he's pretty athletic.
He's been healthier this year. He's been out there every day. He's been durable. He's gotten a lot of reps, so his technique and his timing are better.
He's done everything we've asked, and he's fit right in with the team.
