five good progress seen special
It comes down to a lot of things, really. Are you going to keep five or six? What can they do on special teams? We do feel pretty good about the progress we've seen in these young guys.
It comes down to a lot of things,
clearly difference great player prime
I think the only difference between Culpepper and Donovan McNabb is that Culpepper is like Shaquille O'Neal back there. He's really big. This guy's a freak. He's a great player clearly in the prime of his career.
dimension gives good help
I thought he did some good things. He will help our team. He gives us a dimension that we need here.
ball score throwing trying
I thought about throwing the ball and trying to score a touchdown and then going for two with him over there,
football front good great statement today
It is good to know, as a football player, if we get the ball back to our quarterback he can do something with it. He made a great statement today in front of a lot of people.
game intensity lack physical played
Lack of intensity didn't have anything to do with it. The Patriots played a much more physical game than we did.
cost key late penalties second
Late in the second quarter, we had some key penalties and some breakdowns that cost us.
bay call green heard outcome ruled sideline sort trying
I was just trying to get some interpretation. I'm just a coach. I just want to know what call was made. I had to take a timeout to sort that out. The Green Bay sideline was right there, they heard it, they got the outcome of why it was ruled why it was, and I didn't.
ball cadillac continues earned next smart williams year
If you have Cadillac Williams on your team, you're probably not very smart if you don't give him the ball and give him opportunities. He's earned that. If he continues to do as he's doing, he'll see the ball a lot more next year than he did this year.
again chance game guys hard last sensitive time work
For a lot of guys, it'll be their last game as a Buc, ... It's a sensitive time for them and for us. There's been a lot of hard work put in by a lot of people. We're going to let a lot of these guys play again and get one more chance to shine.
blew blocked either fake field game hell seen senior supposed ticks
It still ticks me off. I've never seen a fake punt in the Senior Bowl. It blew my mind. We were going to have a hell of a game and win. They faked a punt and they blocked a field goal, and you're not supposed to do either of them.
admit convinced guys people situation tough truth whether
It was a tough situation at times because I don't think that there were people that were convinced that they were going to be here for the long haul, ... With some of these young guys with five-year deals, there's no way out. Whether you want to admit it or not, there is a lot of truth to that.
short stay turn
It's his turn now and he won't have a short leash. We're going to let him play, and we're going to stay with him.
