bigger chance coming dramatic good helped kid leap playoff small throughout win
We feel good about Nate. Nate was a kid coming out of small college, and he had to adapt. He had to make a more dramatic leap than a kid coming from a bigger school. Throughout the year, he got better and better and better, to where he helped us win a playoff game. You look at him and say, OK, this kid's got a chance to develop.
address course field locker losing room team whether
Jerome Bettis was a big part of what this team has done over the course of his career. Losing him from the field is one thing, and then losing him in the locker room is another thing. That is a big loss. Whether we are going to be able to address it or not, we will see as it goes.
add anticipate change draft guys looking players
Just looking at our history, we never have been (real active) and I don't think we'll change from that. We don't anticipate that. We'd like to get as many of our own guys back as we can, and add to it as necessary, and then go to the draft and get players that way also.
both larry thinking worked worth
We were unanimous in thinking Troy was worth the 16th pick. It worked out well for both teams. They got (running back) Larry Johnson.
caught contract guys minimum situation tear
We're not in a situation where we have to tear it up. When you look at our team, we have a lot of guys under contract for a minimum of two years. We're kind of caught up right now.
confident definitely help looking lose pick players
We are not going to lose in the first round. That is the way we are looking at it. I'm confident there are 32 players we can take as a first pick that will definitely help this team.
enjoy game today
We'll enjoy this today and tomorrow. But we still have one more game to win.
finding guys home room
Those guys are finding that they're more at home being back in that room and back where they were.
late middle rounds spend standpoint time
We are going to spend as much time on the middle and late rounds as we do on the first-round guys. From our standpoint there is really not a lot of difference.
champion game helped move players sign win
We're not going to sign everyone. We may have to move on without some of the players who helped us win a championship. That's the way the game is today.
couple decent depth higher quality tackle
There aren't a lot of higher quality centers. There are a couple decent guards. The tackle depth is actually pretty good.
felt player
We felt that Brett was going to be a full-time player on our team.
adjust certain game plan
You go into it with a certain plan and you have to adjust as the game unfolds. Personally, I think it's exciting.
address care couple free players progress replace sign step taken versatile
We could sign a couple of players (to replace the versatile Randle El) or address things in the draft. We've taken care of some of the players we wanted to take care of and we'll step back and see how things progress here with free agency.
