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.

They said 2-5 teams don't make the playoffs, either, but we did it,
A lot of people look at the last preseason game as if it's not important. Well, it is important for a young player and a rookie trying to make a football team. Most teams have to cut down 18 or 15 players and bring eight of them back. So, I think it will be a very competitive game for the most part and I look forward to seeing these young guys play.
You need to make some plays to get energy. We haven't made enough big plays on either side of the ball. That's what happens to teams that are losing. That's what's happening to us.
The problem with that is you've got to win. You can't expect teams to keep losing. There's some teams in the division that are good teams and we can be a good team, too, but we're not playing consistent enough to be a good team.
The next three or four teams we play, basically until our bye, have very good defenses. They're in the top-10 (defensively), so it could be ugly football for us.
Football teams are families, ... I had a sister who used to beat me up all the time, but she was still my sister.
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 Brian is on his way, I really do,
James was a character. He was a good kid. He was kind of a computer nerd. He could do anything with electronics.
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.
Opening day, I'm not shocked at anything. I've been around for 26 years of opening days, and a lot can happen. We didn't handle it very well. They did a better job of coaching, and they played better.
