brand foremost healthy jerry leading life maybe normal obviously
Maybe he'll be brand new; we don't know yet. The No. 1 thing is we want to make sure, as he does, that he's healthy and can go on leading a normal life after football. That is first and foremost with his agent, with Jerry and obviously with us.
couple good last players sundays training truly
I said this really the last couple years: Saturdays look like Sundays now, and that's good for football. They truly are training the players the way we want to use them on Sundays.
colleges generating tough
It's a tough position. It's a supply-and-demand business, and the colleges just aren't generating enough of them.
agency drafted felt free good gotten players wallace
I thought Day would have gotten drafted and Wallace could have gotten drafted, so we felt in free agency those were probably as good of players as you could get.
anytime brown catalyst emotional field impacts leader mike
Mike Brown has been such a catalyst for us emotionally as a leader, anytime you take an emotional leader off the field it impacts you.
agency free happen
I would like free agency to happen after the draft. The union, obviously, would like free agency to come before the draft.
areas experience gained game improve needs rookie
Orton's got to take another step. He needs to take the experience that he gained as a rookie and take another step. There are areas of his game that he has to improve before I feel really comfortable with him.
competition good
He called us and said this is where I want to be. So right now we have some pretty good competition going on right there. We like his confidence.
last
I don't know if it's really that much different than last year,
jerry looking position
With Jerry potentially not being with us, we'll be looking at that position very hard.
best bit everybody latitude player says stay true
We have a little bit more latitude this year. We want to stay with the best player available. Everybody says it, but we really want to stay true to that.
certain draft investment irrelevant needed pick player sure terms time
We wanted to make sure any time we draft a player we've made an investment in him and we're going to play the investment out. We just needed to see certain things in terms of his progression, irrelevant of him being a first-round pick or a seventh-round pick.
create gives obviously starts
We wanted to create more big plays, and obviously that starts with speed, and he gives us that dimension.
couple eight guys picks prepared seven work
We had a couple guys in mind. Unfortunately it didn't work out. One went about seven or eight picks before we were prepared to take him.
