battle believed defensive guy rod win
Rod didn't want the 6-6 defensive tackles, ... He wanted the undersized guy who could leverage. He really believed in that, that if you can win the battle of pads, you can get off and make plays.
committed guys harder players
Some guys were not on the same page, ... Some players were working harder than other players. Some guys were committed to winning, some guys weren't. It was a little dysfunctional in the group.
consider gone grade guys later less next pick projected takers trading value
We consider trading down when the guys that we projected would be there, aren't there. They're all gone and we have to go to our next group, our next grade level. That's when we'll make the calls. Those guys are gone, let's go to our next group. The value is less because we graded them less. Let's see if we can get some takers and get another pick later on.
guys hard people ways
There are many ways for guys to lead. Conduct. Toughness. How hard you hit. Different people can be that guy.
guys question
Those guys are exceptional, there's no question about it.
given guy impact information level loves playing raise true wants warren
Given all this information on Warren and what is true and what is not true. Ultimately, we said this guy loves playing football, he is an impact player, he wants to play in this state, and he will raise the level of our defense.

As a scout you have to look at the hands so the guy doesn't come off the field when it's a passing situation.
guys middle
Certainly, there was a lot to do. We were right in the middle of the free-agent deals. We had 16 guys looking. ...But we all rolled up our sleeves.
defensive gets guy looking type
He's a guy who gets off the ball. They're looking more for a 3-4 type of defensive lineman.
corner guys list nice numbers pure terms
That is a nice corner list that they have. The safeties are more than I am used to in terms of the pure numbers of guys that we think can play.
best defense defensive game great guys singled team
It was the game where those guys that were new to the team all made contributions. Yet, no one got singled out after the game. It was about this was great team defense -- our best team defensive game.
catching defense focus good guy pass protecting receiver stop
I want the guy to be everything, ... I want him to do the little things. Catching the football. Pass protecting for the quarterback. Being a good receiver out of the backfield because then the defense can't focus on, 'We've got to stop him running.'
bringing build character communication guys improve ingredient key lines morale moving open team
The key ingredient is bringing guys in who have character, to build team chemistry, so that everyone is moving in the same direction, ... The other thing I thought was important was to open up the lines of communication and improve the morale in the building.
