afraid ankle careful handle jumping pull scary
The thing, of course, you're afraid of as much as anything right now is him jumping in there and getting a pull or twisting an ankle or something like that ... and that slows him down even more. It's very scary and you have to be careful how you handle it.
process
This does not end the process with Jevon. We would still like to have him as part of this team, just not under the 'franchise tag' parameters.
learning occasions rightly several step understand wrongly
I think rightly or wrongly from my standpoint, you like to see someone who has been through it. When you get through the postseason, it's a different world. If you've never been there, it's a learning curve. You have to learn and understand it. If someone has been through it on several occasions or just once, they step in with some advantage.

coached father grew guys passing runs
I don't know. He's not one of those 6-4, 220-pound guys who runs the 40 in 4.6. But he's an athlete. His father coached for 30 or so years, so he grew up in a passing system.
banging few guy surprised
So a guy like that, I think I would be surprised if he didn't end up banging around a few years with somebody.
call
I think right now we have to call it a draw. Is that a surprise?
basis certainly few last par
He's certainly on par with the quarterbacks that have come out on a yearly basis over the last few years.
group position strong
If you look at it from a position standpoint, you can say this is probably as strong a linebacker group as we've had in a while.
