game
You?re a competitive person. Once the game starts, you want to win.
bottom coming knee line player
He's coming off a knee injury, but the bottom line is he's going to be here and he's going to play, so you've got a player already there that's proven.
class couple hours interview spent
We spent a couple of hours with him, and you get a little more read on his personality, more than a 15-minute interview in Indianapolis. I think he's a class individual, well-spoken, genuine.
defensive eight football half harder lead looked lost running rush second
This was a football decision. It's harder to find a defensive end than running backs. When we looked at our team, we've got to get better on offense, but we've got to get better on defense, too. In eight games, we lost the lead in the second half because we couldn't rush the passer.
given indication
We've been given no indication of anything changing.
days notice
We could have 30 days notice at any time, and then he's gone,
coming injuries key people progress team three
We had made progress in each of our first three years, and we had a better team coming back this year. But the injuries to key people have really hurt.
guessing humans infallible
We all know this is a guessing game. It's humans evaluating humans, and you know what? We're not infallible, and they're not infallible either. If there's one thing you can say about those of us who do this for a living, it's that we know we don't know.
arrived decision pick players round short time
We arrived at this decision a short time back that these are the two players that we would pick from to make our first round pick.
asked attorney both defensive denied football none obviously strictly took word wrong
We asked him and his attorney the different allegations and both of the denied them. Both of them said that Reggie didn't do anything wrong so we obviously took him at his word which is what we should do. But none of that had anything to do with that. We told them this was strictly a football decision. We wanted to get a defensive end.
activity affected agency cap deal free whether
We don't have a cap problem. But, obviously, our activity in free agency would be significantly affected by whether there's a deal or not.
coverage focus media totally ups
You focus nothing on the media coverage of the ups and downs. You make your own evaluation. It's totally ignored.
backs contract good league pay performs player playing puts running shows starting tear willing
We didn't feel it was appropriate for him to be playing for the league minimum. This shows that if a player comes in and performs better than expected, we're willing to tear up the contract and pay him what he's worth. This puts him up there with the good starting running backs in the league.
good inaccurate quote source stand yes
Yes I've been told that's inaccurate by a source good enough for me to stand up here to quote it. Otherwise, I wouldn't get up here and say it.
