I don't know if it's really that much different than last year,
agreed common couple created found ground longer point quite
This did take a lot longer than what we had anticipated, ... We never really found that common ground. Usually, you find that common ground at some point the first couple weeks. We didn't really find anything that we agreed upon for quite some time. That created the long holdout.

He's got a strong foundation in terms of his family and very grounded, and we're very happy to have him as our No. 1 draft pick.
backyard beat ended mouth ready taste
I didn't like how we ended that '01 season. We got beat. It made us look weak, and I've got that taste in my mouth still. We just didn't look like we were ready to play. We got beat in our own backyard and got our butts kicked.

He'll be fine. The information that we got, we feel very solid about. In the end, everything should work out well.

bit blocking colleges game gone helped impact late looked people position running skill tight today using
I think (Tony) Gonzalez was the first tight end as of late where people look at him a little bit differently. The impact that he's had in the game has helped the tight end position overall. They're looked at as a skill position. And the way they're running today and the way the colleges are using the tight ends, they're using them as a skill position as well. What's gone away from the tight end position is the blocking. Blocking isn't as important with the tight end.
agency colleges expansion facilitate football free generating offensive position teams
The one position I think ? not think, but know ? has been undervalued with free agency and expansion with 32 teams now is the offensive line. The colleges just aren't generating enough offensive linemen to facilitate all 32 football teams.
