flashes
You see flashes of what you're getting, ... But you can't see it with any consistency.
million paying short
Anything short of paying the $50 million is a possibility.
example free prime versatile winning
He's a prime example of everything you look for in an unrestricted free agent. He's young, athletic, dependable, versatile and comes from a winning program.
backs draft eddie next running
I could draft running backs for the next 30 years and I may never draft another Eddie George,
carry heavier
So he's got to carry a heavier load.
ahead everybody half step
He was always a half a step ahead of everybody else.
commitment eddie everybody expected gotten hold line maybe none past people questions stronger talk
I don't know if all the talk the past two years has gotten into his head, ... But I think he's been probably stronger than a lot of us, a lot of his backers. A lot of people that he maybe expected to hold the line with him maybe caved in a little bit. If everybody was as strong about the commitment as Eddie is, then none of these questions would have ever popped up.
cause deem enters fact fight guy hit locker mean room waver
It doesn't mean that we hit on 100 percent, that doesn't mean that every guy that enters the locker room is an angel. But that doesn't cause you to waver from the fact that you still deem it important, and you still look for it and you fight to get it.

It's going to be very interesting to see what happens at the beginning of free agency. I'm not sure it's not going to be very close to the vest because people are just unsure as to how it's going to end up.
guess price sure
But I am sure he would be very, very expensive. You never say never, but I am going to guess he is going to be out of our price range.
cap contracts effect exactly money scary situation sure trying
It has to be a very, very scary situation to be way over the cap and trying to redo contracts and get your money right, and yet you're not exactly sure what effect the CBA is going to have on it. But that's our world, and that's the way we have to live it.
suits
If he can't find something that suits him, he may be back. So again, we have not severed that relationship.
eddie expect gain people productive season weeks yards year
It comes and it goes, ... He'll go out the first two weeks of the season and gain 200 yards and people will be saying, 'Well, the old Eddie's back.' You know, Eddie never left. It's overreaction and overanalyzing. He's going to be the same, and he is the same. We expect him to be as productive this year as any year.
