asked fact given hard perfect position positions problem risky terms throughout tight
I think the tight end position is probably one of the risky positions in terms of the durability, but that's given the fact of what they're asked to do. It's very hard, very hard to find the perfect tight end and durability is a problem throughout the league. Not just with our team, but a lot of teams.
dedication doubts given good horrific injury obviously situation watch work
Given Marc's situation he had a horrific (knee) injury for really a good 2½ years, to watch his dedication and his work ethic, there were doubts he would ever play again. So getting him back and going and then obviously having to do what we did (Tuesday) was very, very tough.
dedication ethic given good half horrific watch work
Given Marc's situation-he had a horrific injury-for really a good two and a half years, to watch his dedication and his work ethic ... having to do what we did was very, very tough.
confidence eulogy fans given ron sure team
I know a lot's being said about Rex, the eulogy of the team given that Rex is out. I want to make sure our fans know we're not here lamenting over Rex Grossman. It's unfortunate. ... We have a lot of confidence in our quarterbacks and (offensive coordinator) Ron Turner.
brand concerned fact given jerry maybe monitor
I'm probably more concerned about Jerry than anybody, just given the fact we had to monitor things with him. He did have surgery. Maybe he'll be brand new. We don't know that yet.
address certainly gives player
It gives us hope, it certainly does. Every player has his own circumstances, and we have to address each and every one individually. But we certainly want Lance here.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

We feel good about what we're going to do. We have a plan for free agency.

We were losing, and we weren't creating hope.
