I said we're going to put Brooksy in, ... He grabbed me and said: 'No, I can still be O.K. I'm all right.' I said, 'O.K.' I kind of knew where he was coming from. He couldn't throw it very far but he could throw it. He could do some things that we tried to do.
Whether he gets in this week or next week, he is going to get into the ball game. I know that I owe him that, and what he did for us coming back.
He was the best guy, regardless of if he was sitting at home on the couch. When you look at all the other guys who were coming in here, he was the best guy.
We all anticipate him coming back. When he's going to come back, at this point in time, it's not up to us. It's up to the doctors. It's no different than it was last year. He's on a program. To say he's going to be back when, when he's going to be throwing full-range, all that stuff, at this point I have no idea.
I've played that position. You get 10 interceptions in one season, that's pretty good. He had a great season for a guy coming off an injury.
I've always had great expectations for defense. Your mind-set as a coach, you know you win with defense, you sell tickets with offense. They understand where I'm coming from. You grow up on one side of the ball you always feel that way.
Any rookie coming in from college to the pros, it can be drastic.
I don't know if we have to see a whole lot. We knew what we were getting when we got him. We brought him in for a reason and he got hurt. He's been gone quite some time, so it's good to get him back. He's excited about coming back.
I think we have to finish off some blocks. We're close, but instead of making 1 or 2 yards, if you finish some things off, you make 4 or 5. All of a sudden, it keeps you out of third and long.
I think what's going to help him, he's in with the first group, ... That's always settling for a quarterback, rather than playing with some guys that were probably some good high school, college players, and won't make your team. He had to do that for three years, survived it. Now he's going in with our first group.
I think Brian is on his way, I really do,
I think that's what's going to help him. That's always settling for a quarterback, rather than the preseason when you're playing with some guys that probably were good high school, college players, and probably won't make your team. Teams are blitzing you. That's a scary moment. He had to do that for three years, survived it.

James was a character. He was a good kid. He was kind of a computer nerd. He could do anything with electronics.
