evaluate guys later week
If these guys are hurt, they'll play. If they're injured, they can't play. . . . But we'll evaluate that later in the week and find out where they're at.
exactly guys job ready team thoughts wear
It's very important for the team to know exactly how I feel. (But) I don't necessarily have to wear my thoughts on my chest, ... I've got a job to do, get these guys ready ... Sometimes I do keep things in-house because I think they should be in-house.
consistent game guy hope hoping performs practice step
You're hoping a guy performs better than that, ... He's been pretty consistent in practice ... You always hope a guy is going to step up and do it in a game like they do in practice, but he hasn't done that yet.
coaches excellent guys job since
That's what coaches do, teach. If you can't teach, you can't coach. And these guys have done an excellent job since they've been here.
chris depleted depth felt guy guys help lose position time
Any time you lose a guy and two guys in the same position there is an impact. You are depleted in depth at that position, two guys that we felt that could help us are Browner and Chris Young.
guy michael protect sooner wear
A guy like Vince Young, I don't care, he's going to have to protect himself. Michael Vick is going to have to protect himself. Sooner or later, it's going to wear on a guy and he's going to get hurt.
assumed four gotta guy guys hit tackle three
They just assumed the guy was down. You gotta tackle them. You have to have three or four guys hit him. They just assumed he was down.
growing guys hopefully pays strides
Some guys (have) got more growing to go. That's part of the season. But I thought we made some strides and hopefully it pays dividends.
evaluate true year
I think this will be the true year to evaluate Jake Plummer.
imaging magnetic resonance serious wait
You never know with those ankles, we'll just have to wait and see. I don't think it's that serious where he would have to get (a magnetic resonance imaging test).
goes quite unnoticed
I think that goes unnoticed quite a bit.
bunch defensive extremely played pressure talented
Jake played extremely well. He made a bunch of big plays. They had a lot of pressure on him and they had a very talented defensive front.
feels harness later pain
a lot has to do with pain and how he feels with the harness on later in the week.
city teams trying
I think it's a better system. There are more opportunities, and because teams have to come to your city to do the interviews, it can be done without conflicting with what you're trying to get done.
