He is a bright guy. He has a pretty good understanding of what we're doing. It's just going to take some time to get him into football shape.

We try to prevent health problems from happening. We space practices out where you have two meals and two opportunities to get hydrated.
We're pleased to have someone as well-respected as Dom join the Dolphins. He brings a wealth of knowledge to Miami and will be a valuable addition to our staff.
I felt like Ricky Williams played well. He didn't have many opportunities to do much, because he didn't have much space.
I would be a little disappointed for our players (if a blackout occurs). These guys have worked hard, and we have done a lot to try to make the team better.
I was pleased with the way Sage played,
If we don't have an agreement this year, obviously it's going to affect the cap in an adverse way in terms of what's available to spend on players.
If we're going to do that, we should have had a press conference for the other three guys we signed, too. So how do we choose who has a press conference and who doesn't?
