amazing begin certainly changes defensive head mindset offensive quickly speak
I certainly wouldn't begin to speak for Tony. But when you become a head coach, it's amazing how quickly your mindset changes and you don't think of yourself as an offensive or defensive guy. You can't.
answer certainly properly question tough understand volatile
I understand that it's a volatile environment. Certainly I have tough enough skin, so have at it. There's no way to properly answer that question so I won't try.
certainly ground happens hope starting wants zero
I think he really wants to be here. He really wants to be back with us. You never know, but I would certainly hope it happens for us. If we get Duane back, and you look at our defense, what we still have left, we're not starting at ground zero with that group. And that's the perception.
certainly displace happen moore somebody
Clarence Moore had an outstanding offseason, and it's going to take a lot to displace Clarence from that position, ... It's certainly not going to happen from somebody who's not even here.
certainly doubt enriched fact gotten head inclusive management mind process wise wisely
I think the process is equitable. It's certainly not perfect. And management would be wise to be more inclusive in their perspective. But Marvin has been enriched by the fact that he has gotten to go through the process. I have no doubt in my mind that someone's going to wisely make him a head coach.

Oh, it's huge, it's huge. But you gain some things when you lose a player of that caliber, because other people have to step up.
kyle
Make no mistake, Kyle is responsible for the way he reacted,
arbitrary careful diverse game group number passion personally players
As a coach, there are a lot of things, personally, I may or may not like or would not personally do - not necessarily may be my style, ... But you have to be very careful about inhibiting the passion for this game in an arbitrary way. I've got a very diverse group of players economically, socially, racially, geographically, with a number of different upbringings.
ankle hard high project
Hard to say. The high ankle sprain is always a concern. It would be ill-advised to project at this time.
ability effect force huge lewis reckoned run
Jamal Lewis is a force to be reckoned with. When it's all said and done, barring injuries, he will have a huge effect our ability to run the ball.
ahead brought changes credit deserve forward good jim needed work
Jim was brought in to make the changes that needed to be made schematically, emotionally, strategically and fundamentally for us to go forward in conjunction with some very good coaches. They collectively and Jim individually deserve all the credit for the improvements that we've seen. We've got a lot of work ahead of us.
dwight dynamic game outside player playing presence rush saw top tremendous
I saw a tremendous player in Dwight Freeney playing at the top of his game and as dynamic a presence on the outside rush as there is in the game.
fairly
I think we've done things fairly intelligently. We've rebuilt without drastically slipping back at any one point.
analysis hard looks next playoff run teams tough year
The hard part with that analysis (is), you don't know what those teams are going to be. What looks to be a tough run of playoff teams could end up the next year not being that.
