achievement adverse came continuing credit earned football forward great greatly home hung key missing next orleans players proud season
I would just like to say it is a great feeling, a great accomplishment by our team. I am very proud of them.

football good guy pass player special teams
He's made plays. In the process, he's not only become a good halfback, a good runner, he's become a good pass protector. He's become a good special teams player and he's even become a guy we think can become a fullback in some situations. So he's come a long way as a football player.

If no agreement is reached, I am sure there will be some very difficult decisions to be made. The players and the owners have to sort this thing out. It will take time. It is frustrating for, I think, fans and everyone.

Not necessarily. We really worked hard on the draft the last couple years, being a part of it, so we know a lot of the players that are on the waiver wire from our research, ...

certainly coming fans opinion owners players talking
My opinion is just a sidebar in this certainly controversial time. We are talking about owners and players coming to an agreement. It will take time. It's frustrating for fans and everyone.

I'm an optimistic guy. But I'm also very realistic. I just don't want to stand up here and say something that is inaccurate when it's involving a key player and an injury of this potential magnitude. I just sit and wait. That's kind of how my life goes sometimes.
behind happy hard players
It would have been hard to come in here and say we're not happy with the young players. But when you look behind you, where are the players? The young players just weren't on the roster.
football games happened hopefully key learns looking players points ready rearview regret roll score send win
You've got to score points to win football games and we regret what happened here, having to send one of our key players home, but looking at it in the rearview mirror, we would do the same thing again. Hopefully Simeon comes back ready to roll and he learns from this.
