catch football jay needed president today
I told (Rams President for Football Operations) Jay (Zygmunt) that we needed to get someone today that can catch him.
concern fluke
It was a fluke deal. It wasn't anything that's a concern for us now; it was just a bad-luck injury.
achieved either sure
It's not the way you like to do it. But either way, we achieved the goal, and that was to make sure he was on our team.
affect business couple good hard leadership left marshall people player positive salary teach team veteran
I've had a couple of really good conversations with Marshall and I think he's very positive about having a couple of good years left in him. And that's very positive. The veteran leadership is critical. In this day and age, because of the salary cap, it's hard to have that. There aren't many people like Marshall in this business who can affect a team positively. Not just as a player but as a leader that can teach everyone else.
football team reality
It's still about making a good decision. We all want to have the Reggie Bush's of the world on our football team, but it's not reality.
ability believe commitment effort football good higher needs nice people position saying start sure talks value
I think that we are in good position to start up the talks again. We are going to make a commitment to try to get it done. Where I'm sure that there are other people who are saying that it will sure be nice to have him, his value to this organization is much higher than just his ability as a football player, believe me. We are going to make the effort that needs to be made to try and get it done.
exciting next players proven ready recent run throw
If you're getting ready to play Vince Young, you know you've got a two-headed monster. He's proven to me that he can throw it, as well as be able to run around and make plays. He's one of the most exciting players to come out in recent memory. He hasn't really even tapped into some of the things I think he's going to be able to do at the next level.
great guys heard page
It was important to have guys that are on the same page with him. Those are guys that I've heard nothing but great things about.
felt miami
It's a way of life, and they're very adaptable. We felt like going to Miami was going to be temporary. We didn't know it was going to be this quick, though.
baseball good inside middle strong
It's like in baseball being strong up the middle. You have inside guy, a middle linebacker and a safety. It's a pretty good place to start.
ball best certainly few last player utilize valuable whatever willing year
Up to the day he shuts it down, he's way too valuable a player to not have the ball in his hands. For whatever reason, last year was not his best year statistically. But I would certainly like to utilize the abilities he still has, if he's willing to put a few more years in.
against fire good hold might playing side time
You don't want to hold the time away against him, but on the same side you have to know there's going to be time for him to get back into playing shape. It might be a good thing for a guy, too. He might come back with a little more fire to do it.
defense odd
He is going to be our three-technique. We are going to play a 4-3 defense and get in and out of some 3-4 odd looks.
baseball car catch flew literally phone sat stands talking weekend
I flew back for a weekend so I could catch at least one of my son's baseball tournaments this year. But the whole time, I was on the phone talking to coaches. I literally sat in the stands or in my car ... and was on the phone.
