football forget guy hate hell incredible steve stop study system throw unique
He has incredible acceleration, stop-and-start quickness. You do not forget that sometimes that he can stop and throw that ball. There is not a guy like him that I have seen. I used to think Steve Young revolutionized the system of football that I always study with his unique scrambling ability. I hate to tell Steve Young this, but this guy is a hell of a lot faster.

He's got great versatility. We led the league in rushing one year in Oakland, and they led the league in passing the following year, so he's got great versatility. He can coach the line, he can coach the quarterbacks, and he's had results everywhere he's been. He's a very creative guy, very disciplined, and he's got a great work ethic.

It could be a few weeks. It could be the end of the season. We don't know for sure. I'll just sit here and wait until I'm told the extent of this injury.
certain chance choose gives guy happen hopefully job plans pressed primarily return service somebody throughout trust week worked
(Jones) has done primarily punt returns, but if pressed into service we'll trust that he'll do the job if he's the guy we choose to go with. He (Pittman) has worked on that throughout his career. Once again, when certain things happen you have to have contingency plans in place. We'll work on our contigency plan throughout this week and we'll find somebody who gives us a chance to hopefully return one for a touchdown.
