Don Breaux Quotations

He is so physical without the ball. He does things nobody else in the league does.

I was watching the Senior Bowl film and saw him catch a touchdown pass. It was that same great adjustment to the ball (like Santana Moss) on a ball that was thrown over his head and to the outside. He reached at the last second to catch it.

I see him being spry myself, but I can't say he looks quicker or faster than last year. I haven't found myself thinking that way. I don't see any change; all I see is someone who seemingly knows what we're trying to do after being in it for a year. I see some decision-making -- him making quick decisions -- and I think he understands what we want. That's what I see. I don't see anything physically different.

It does lend itself to a guy who has tremendous quickness and burst. Coles ran it pretty well, too, but sometimes being quick enough to burst by a guy is the difference.

We're working our way through the terminology and getting on the same page language-wise and how we're going to call things. Some of the terminology is the same, but other times it's the same word but as different meanings. But it's not going to be a problem.

We definitely want to rush for touchdowns, and I'd say it's a little bit of a surprise that we haven't. I just have to believe that eventually, we'll do it because of Clinton's skill and our ability to get into the right scheme and right plan.

We've practiced it a lot but we waited to call it until we felt like it was the right time.

At that point it's basically a punt return.

It's a travesty because he was gone. I mean there was nobody on that side of the field.

It's like a chess game. Defense is recognition. Those guys usually know us better than we know ourselves. That's why we just run the same things and give them all kinds of different looks.

It's like he's invisible around here. You never see him, never see him, but, gosh, what a comfort it is for us coaches to know we've got somebody like that here. What a security blanket he is. We ought to make all of our grandsons learn to do what he does. Long snapping -- that's not a bad way to go.
