bump fit good pool
I have a pool of candidates. It's got to be a good fit for the system. Every once in a while there's going to be a bump in the road.
carries good hall left might
He still has some good 'juice' left in him in my opinion. So you might as well use him. Don't let him take any (unused) carries with him to the Hall of Fame.
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.
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.
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.
good left life love meetings
I'd love to have him as long as we can keep him. Some of those things are out of your control. In this case, I don't think that's the case. He's still got some life left in him. And we've had very good meetings with him.
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.
given indication
I think he is. He has never given me any indication that he's not.
address position stronger
We've got to address that, and make it a stronger position for us on offense.
crossed fingers free guarantee keeping market obviously opinion team work
We're just keeping our fingers crossed that we can work everything out. I guarantee from our end, we're doing everything we can to make it happen. ... We're going to re-negotiate from a free agent's standpoint, and we're obviously going to be in my opinion the most competitive team in the market for our guy.
full hitting speak
We'll be hitting the bricks, so to speak (Saturday), full speed.
guy sold
Obviously, I'm pretty sold that the guy can do it.
address guy standpoint talking
Obviously, we've got to have a contingency plan, but I'm going from the standpoint that we're going to get it done. We'll address that if we have to. To me, that's down the road. ... We're talking about a guy that to me you don't replace.
complete easily flashes force guarantee last reckoned ronnie saw yards year
You saw flashes last year. Ronnie got a little banged up at the end of the year and would've easily had 1,000 yards as a rookie. He's really a complete back and I think he could play every down. That guy's going to be a force to be reckoned with for years, I guarantee you that.
