Norv Turner Guy Quotations

There is a process that a guy goes through and no question -- it's not even about 14 or 16 games -- it's about being the full-time guy, for an entire game. You learn the first time you do it. He hadn't done that since college.

Some of it is we're playing a game Thursday night, and obviously he can't play. I thought he was really coming on, and I think he's a guy that somewhere down the road has a future.

He's a guy that's going to help our young guys. He's been great with our young guys. ... When he steps on the practice field, (he) knows how to go, how to work.

He's a very good pass protector. When you look at the game last week, he had 10 plays, (and) he is a guy who should be on the field 25 times a game.

He shared my concerns and my thoughts that if we had the opportunity to add a guy who's experienced, who's played and who's won and who's taken his team to the Super Bowl that would be in the best interest of the football team,

He's a very, very smart football player, ... When you have a guy who has that kind of versatility, it's unbelievable in terms of having injury situations.

Kerry gave the (Houston) safety a quick pump and he just went flying to Randy. They actually had a guy underneath and both safeties running to him. When (Collins) threw the ball outside to Doug, it's a big play.

I think Justin will be excited to play and he's a flashy guy and he can make some runs.

We worked hard to give him opportunities to be successful, ... When you see a guy like that with a lot of potential ... you want to see it come out.

What they do have - and have had on defense - is backup guys that can play three or four positions, so you are covered for an unusual amount of things, ... A guy like Hill gives us some of those qualities.

The biggest thing is he brings a physical presence. He did an excellent job in the run game, an excellent job in pass protection. ... He is a young guy that I think is going to grow and become a very good player.

If one guy makes five penalties, it's easy. You make the switch tomorrow,

He's an outstanding football player. I mean, he's a physical guy that brings it. He's a competitive guy. In that game, he looked to me like he misjudged the player's speed. He was in good position, and just didn't take account of his speed. That, unfortunately, happens to guys in this league. But he's one of the better safeties in the league.
