They played great in the first half and kind of melted down in the second half. We are really sad for them, the fans, the coaches and everybody involved in the organization.
There were too many penalties in the game. We talk about playing hard and competing, but you also have to play smart. That's something we need to do a better job of. We did a lot of good things out there, but they were negated by our errors.
There may be 25 players out there we feel are potential guys that would be first-round picks regardless of where we pick. We have to bring to some kind of organizational order to who brings the most value to us. That's something that's a work in progress.
They're great at making adjustments, and great at getting things fixed.
You would hope that a guy would want to do something for positive reasons, because he wants to be successful and he buys into the things that can make him successful at what he does.
You need to wait five years and then we will know whether this guy is a good player or not,
You really don't know what's going to be available. There's going to be quite a few players picked before we pick. We have to do a good job making sure we've evaluated all the players ahead and behind where we might pick.
You put your hand in the dirt, you got a guy sitting right there, you have to block him. You don't block him, what does it make any difference whether you are playing right guard, right tackle, left guard or left tackle? You have to move the guy. I think we are overrating anything that we have done, because we are totally missing the point.
This is an opportunity for each and every one of those guys to show what they can do.
This is not something etched in stone until the league makes a ruling. But we plan to give ourselves the best possible plan.
This is not really about me at all. I'm really pleased for the players. These players have suffered a little bit over the last year. I think that they all wanted to prove something, and I'm just happy that we could help them accomplish that.
This is something we want to build on,
This is something that is not necessarily etched in stone until the league makes some kind of ruling about it, which I'm not even sure of. So we're not going to speculate on what we're going to do. We're just going to have to plan to give ourselves the best competitive advantage we possibly can.
So that was basically the end of that.
