players team unselfish willie
He is one of the most unselfish players I've ever been around. The things that Willie has done for our team during his career, you can't measure.

I think deep down it does mean a lot. I know it does for everyone around him. It's something every kid in our family would like to see happen, just like in Joe's family.
became beginning fill fortunate lost nervous player priority ready receiver rod thinking
Receiver was not a priority in the beginning and it became one. We were very fortunate to fill some holes. I was really getting nervous at the end as I lost the player and got to thinking that Rod Owens may not be ready to play.

I think he's physically everything he was built up to be but the missed assignments are really costing him. He's capable of learning. When he gets his assignments down, he's really going to be able to help us.

He did a great job. Just so much was asked of him and to get a law degree on top of that is really something. I think he had like four hours of sleep a day.

You better be thick-skinned to be in this profession. And you better be ready to handle it when it comes. It's sad that that's the way it is, but that's the way it is.
