leave talked
These things take time. There are always two sides, and we're working through it as we speak. We've talked about proposals, and I'll leave it at that.
deals few heard normal teams
There will be a few teams that'll come out (fast). I know I've heard of some things going on right now. So there will be some pretty big deals that will come out like in normal years.
athletes looked skill tight took
It used to be you never took a tight end in the first round. But they're looked at as athletes now. They're looked at as a skill position.
certainly fits quality rewards time whether wonder worth
At the end of the day when you're making any decision, you wonder whether the rewards are worth the risk. And in this case, they certainly were. We got a quality quarterback that really fits into what we do offensively and makes us better. And that's our job. We feel good. Now time will tell.
competition create ends guys indictment last tight
It's not an indictment on the tight ends we have, the same guys we had last year. We want to create more competition at all positions. We just weren't able to get that done (drafting).
behind everybody featured money role saw stood
Everybody else saw him as a role back. But we saw him as a featured back and our money stood behind that assessment.
bought conviction everybody knew liked tim
Everybody liked John, but everyone said he was too slow. But when Tim had a conviction on a player, you knew it, and you bought into it.
hard ray string
It's just too hard to find a quarterback. When you think you've got one, if there was any ray of hope, we were going to play the string out.
jerry looking position
With Jerry potentially not being with us, we'll be looking at that position very hard.
building decisions hard last luxury stable team
We've been building this team to be a good, stable team for a long time. We didn't have that luxury the last time. We had to make hard decisions on the fly.
bad beat everybody happen leaves ready
We just didn't look like we were ready to play. We didn't play well, and we got beat in our backyard. We got our butts kicked. That leaves everybody with a bad taste. You can't have that happen in your backyard.
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.
