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.
guys love occasions team
We love Willis. We'd just love him a little more if he had been here. We know this, he is down there working. We'd just like to get him with our team and working with the guys on those occasions when he can make it.
fast follows positions respect run scheme teaching teams time tremendous trust
He's been in positions with teams that run a scheme that I like. I've always had a lot of respect for it. It's specific. It follows a teaching progression, I like that. You play fast in it, I like all those things. I trust Perry. It's time for him. I think he'll do a tremendous job.

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.

That's what you fear against a team like that.
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.
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.
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.
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.
