beats somebody team
I will say on the first day of camp, there's a first team penciled in there, but if somebody beats you out, they're going to get the job.
feeling strong whatever worked
I've always had a strong feeling that they just want to win. For whatever reason, it hasn't worked out for them.
empty five good three
Absolutely. In our league, when you go to a game, you see five receivers on the field, a lot of four, three receivers. You see empty (backfield) in every situation. So if you don't have at least three really good (corners), it'll be long Sundays.
fought guys mistakes performed
They (Steelers) had everything to play and they performed well. I thought our guys performed well. I thought our guys fought hard. We had the same kind of mistakes that set us back all year.
background believer creatively fact run steve throw variety ways win
I like Steve because I like his background. I like the variety of ways he's coached. I'm a big believer in the fact you've got to do it all to win in our league. You've got to be able to throw it creatively but you've got to be able to run it. He's had a background in both.
answer bit easy guess harsh jeff lost saying
I guess the answer would be that we didn't win. That's probably another way of saying Jeff lost it. Saying it that way is a little bit harsh on that person. I can't say enough about Jeff as an unbelievable competitor. It wasn't easy when we talked.
hard position stand steve
It's hard for me to stand up here in this position because Steve is a friend.
bring five guys law looking older players says seven three
That's the kind of players we targeted. There's no law that says we can't or won't bring in older players here. But we were looking for guys who, if we're right about them, will be with us for three to five to seven years.
difference felt hindrance lost meeting problem talking team
I've never felt like it was a hindrance as a coach, I've never felt like it was a problem with a player. Never felt like it made any difference in a meeting. I've never felt like I lost a team in a meeting talking to them.
guy heading hope named somebody
Somebody will be named heading into camp, but there is always going to be competition. We'll try to name that guy going through the spring, but if we don't, we don't. We hope to have a feeling.
bad ball behind explained near protection throw
It's a bad rule. When he explained the situation, a ball carrier is a passer when he's behind the line, and he can throw the ball, he has all the protection the quarterback has. If he's out of the pocket, he doesn't have to throw it near anybody, just to the line.
difficult imagine year
It has been a very difficult year for them. I don't know how to imagine what they have been through.
hard loves studies tough
A very tough guy, hard working guy, loves the game, studies the game. He's very, very into football. It's important to him.
business coach family feels gets good happen home ideas likes people perry unique work
Perry has some ideas of people he likes and feels comfortable with, and we're going to look in that direction. I think it will be a win-win for everybody. It's a unique situation, and we feel good about making it work out. It doesn't happen very often in this business that a coach gets to go home and his family gets to go home, too.
