five good hear people terrific until wait
You'll hear me say, 'We've had a terrific draft.' Because you always take people you like and feel are good. But truly, you have to wait and see how it pans out. You may not know how good you did until five years later.
ball easier fearful game help honest people run running tackle
With Willis and our young right tackle Jason, we feel like we can help our quarterbacks mature, make the game a little easier for them, if we can run the ball successfully, play-action pass, keep some people really honest and fearful of what we're going to do running the football.
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.
fit four guys movement people present teach three whatever
There's always going to be movement in personnel, so your schemes, whatever they are, have to fit your present people but they also need to fit who's going to come in. They can't be so complicated that you need four years to teach it and three or four years for guys to develop.
certainly free gathering invest money people time top
You certainly invest a lot of time and money into gathering your information, so it makes no sense to be free with it or give it away to anybody. Particularly at the top of the draft, people are pretty close.
goes people scheme seems situations team thanksgiving
I think that they'll still play in our scheme because they have to play in the scheme. When they don't play in the scheme, you get situations like we got on Thanksgiving Day - different people at different times freelancing to some degree. And when everything goes bad, as it did on that day, the other team seems to find those breakdowns.
athletic ball field knock knocked liked looking love people plays primarily somebody stretch
We love the way he plays the game. We're looking for somebody who can knock people off the ball for us and that can also stretch the field a little bit. He's very athletic for a big guy. He's got that speed, and that will keep some people honest. Primarily we liked how he knocked people off the ball.
critical fought guys mistakes year
I thought our guys really fought hard. We just made the mistakes that have kind of set us back all year in critical areas.
difficult imagine year
It has been a very difficult year for them. I don't know how to imagine what they have been through.
chris continue
Jimmy's the guy, he's the man. And hopefully, ideally, Chris wouldn't play. If it's working, and everybody's healthy, then we go and we continue to win.
bring power promise team winning
The only thing I will promise is that I will do everything in my power to bring a winning team back to Buffalo.
agency bit critically exact free guys lucky money obvious pick
You like to have the numbers. It's obvious to say, but it's critically important who you pick and how it pans out. You've got to be a little bit lucky because it's not an exact science. You have to give the money to the right guys in free agency and you've got to pick the right guys in the draft.
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.
bring fans fulfill great obligation passionate promise team tradition winning
The only thing I'll promise to do is everything I can to fulfill my obligation to bring a winning team back to Buffalo. There's a great winning tradition here, we know the fans are very passionate and it's something we're very passionate about.
