family obviously prayers reasonably thoughts
He said his family is doing reasonably well considering the circumstances. Our thoughts and prayers are obviously with him.
explained family priority
As I've explained to him, his first priority is to his family.
albeit game gets himself opportunity player prepare sure unilateral
You're damned if you do, damned if you don't. You need to make sure that each player gets an opportunity to prepare himself for the game tempo, albeit (in) preseason. So you end up making arbitrary, unilateral decisions.
finest kansas running seen
He's the finest running back that I've seen in football. We had Marcus Allen, of course, in Kansas City. But he's the finest that I've ever seen.
entertain next
I won't even entertain that question. Next question.
expect fully kicking
I fully expect that we'll find a way to get him the ball, and not only in the kicking game.
brady brings cases certainly confidence defense doubt field football game gang guy hope kicking offense overlook position talks team tom
Everyone talks about the confidence Tom Brady has in what he does and I don't doubt that. But let's not overlook the confidence that he brings to every other guy on that football team on offense or defense or the kicking game - 'let's get the ball back; let's get field position because Tom can do it.' He is certainly not a one-man gang there, but to me, the one thing a quarterback can bring is hope and certainly he not only brings you hope, but in most cases if you give him an opportunity, he will get it done.
bunch controlled great job tempo
It's not like they've been in a bunch of barnburners. They're an outstanding team. They've pretty much controlled the tempo of the game, and they do such a great job on defense.
brings defense goes selfless
He brings everything you need to a 3-4 defense. He is selfless the way he goes about his job.
bottom line obvious playing
The bottom line is that right now we aren't playing well enough to win. I think that's an obvious statement.
effort overall played pleased solid
I was pleased with the overall effort of everybody. I thought we played pretty solid for the most part.
available cast forward giving good guy himself last looking matter opportunity preparing spent supporting time
He's spent the last two years preparing himself for this opportunity available to him now. He spent his time well, and we're looking forward to getting started. It's just a matter of giving a young guy an opportunity. You have to have a good supporting cast around him, and we do.
next surgery
The surgery will take place in the next day or so.
available certainly comforting family job obviously situation takes terrific
Stephen did a terrific job for us and that's certainly comforting to us, but obviously we'd like to have Randall available to us. If he is not, his family in that situation takes priority, in my view.
