He's been seasoned, ... Hopefully we've got a young guy who's on the come.
He's been real consistent with his play since we started back this year, ... He's been confident and sure. ... What I'm looking towards is somebody to really establish themselves as a quarterback, take over and take off with the football team.
He just has to do his part, ... He doesn't have to do any more than that. He directs the offense and gets us points. He doesn't have to try to make something happen by himself.
Gregg is a valuable and important member of our organization. This is a first step in recognizing his contributions and maintaining consistency among our coaches.
If that took place, we understand the penalties. We understand somebody being taken out of the game. Sean is so valuable to us. I had a long talk with him afterward, and he understands that. He's all football. He wants to play. He's one of our leaders. He's had an outstanding year. He's very valuable to us. We can't afford to lose somebody like that.
He's had a big learning curve, and we want to play him more than what we did the other night, ... has got him scheduled to play more. He's a very good athlete, and he also can carry the football, and at some point here I'd like to get him a few carries and kind of see what he looks like there, too. But I think it's just a work in progress, and we're working really hard with him.
He was a real thin, real great-in-shape guy, ... Our heart goes out when something like that happens. You usually just imagine one of our guys. It just devastates everybody. It's a huge loss to everybody.
He was a lot calmer and sure of himself. Ann Coulter is an extremist, and she would not even look at the other person's side, but he looked at every topic he talked about from every angle.
He will oversee and direct the offense. It will free me up to do some other things.
He has fantastic long-ball, and ball reactions, ... Very few people can snatch a ball right out of the air like that quick. And then the other thing, he's got a great burst, and when you get him going downfield and put in the ball reaction, he can be running, I think, and doesn't even put his hands up until the last second because he has such confidence there in where the ball is. Even though he's a shorter receiver, I think he's very much a downfield threat because of that, and then, of course, he's got great speed.
I feel good. Health-wise, I'm probably in better shape than I was a bunch of years before. Being a diabetic, I watch everything I eat. I feel great physically.
I coached in Washington - and in Washington, you lose the ballgame, it's a bad Monday, I just want to tell you that.
I am looking for somebody to really establish themselves as the quarterback, to take over and take off with the team,
Certainly I would hope that this victory would be one that the guys say, 'Hey look, we're never out of something,' ... We're going to keep fighting no matter what. I hope we can kind of build on that and correct the things that we did poorly.
