adapting camp great guys jason job learn played playing position positions tremendous
Jason has had a great camp and has done a great job in every regard. He's probably one of the guys who has had a lot more to learn because he's never really played that position as a professional player. He's playing a combination of two positions right now, but he's done a tremendous job of adapting and making plays.
astounding balls batting block expect field good great guy hard job people player plays rush using year
He's still hard to block. He does a great job of using his hands. He still plays with a lot of power. He still can rush and block people back to the quarterback. He's very instinctive on the field -- batting balls down and making a lot of plays. I think the guy is an astounding player and I think he's had a really good year doing what they expect him to do.
coming exciting game great home job nice proud stadium team though tiger
It's been wonderful. I really do feel like this was coming home to play a game and it was exciting for me even though I didn't say it (earlier). It was exciting to be back in Tiger Stadium and I feel really great that our team did a nice job to make us proud of how they played.
backs certainly circumstance everybody good guys job played position role special teams worked
Lamar did a good job for us here. He worked hard. When you look at some of these circumstances, everybody has to have a role on the team. Some of the guys at that position are very good special teams contributors, and that certainly played a role in the backs that we've selected.
continued good job taken time
He has continued to do a good job every time he's been out there, ... and I think that's something that's got to be taken into consideration.
adapting beginning character exhibition job nature past quarters second staff success third true
It's not really true to (the Bears) character and nature in the past to do that (during an exhibition game), ... But I thought our staff did an outstanding job with adapting in the game. That's probably why we had more success in the second and third quarters than we did in the beginning of the game.
certainly decisions felt focus goal input job kinds necessary number relative respect ricky
I think those are the kinds of decisions we would certainly like to have some input into. Our goal and focus is, number one, to respect the player. Ricky did an outstanding job for us on the field. Secondly, (we want to) respect the decision of the league, relative to what they felt it was necessary to do.
battle game games good job managing won
Managing the game is the most important thing. Gus has done a pretty good job of that. Turnovers are not killing us. We won the turnover battle in the games that we won and we didn't in the one that we lost.
coaching enjoyed fantastic guys job ricky top
Ricky did a fantastic job for us this year. If someone said, 'Who have you enjoyed coaching the most in all my years of football,' he'd be one of the top guys I've ever been around.
anybody ask asked best fame finishes five great guys hall hoped instincts jason job learn outside played practice smart system taylor top
Absolutely. He's done an outstanding job in practice and he finishes every play. He has done everything that anybody could ask of a player. If you asked me, give me the top five guys that are the best practice players, he would be one of them. If Jason Taylor had played in a 3-4 system somewhere, he would have been a Hall of Fame outside linebacker. He's smart and he's got great instincts to learn things, better than I ever hoped for.
certainly goes good job obviously sage terms
Sage obviously did a good job when he was in there. That's something that will certainly be evaluated . . . in terms of who goes where.

A.J. did a pretty good job when he was in there, ... I want to build on the identity, the attitude. We want our players to overcome adversity in the game.
ahead behind few good job might picked players quite sure
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.
difficult emphasized job parts past players release simply success team true week
One of the most difficult parts of my job is having to release players, and the past week has emphasized this fact. This is especially true when those players made significant contributions to the success of the team in the past. Ideally, we would like to keep many of those players on our roster, but we are simply not able to do that.
