I think right now we have to call it a draw. Is that a surprise?

I think rightly or wrongly from my standpoint, you like to see someone who has been through it. When you get through the postseason, it's a different world. If you've never been there, it's a learning curve. You have to learn and understand it. If someone has been through it on several occasions or just once, they step in with some advantage.

It doesn't mean that we hit on 100 percent, that doesn't mean that every guy that enters the locker room is an angel. But that doesn't cause you to waver from the fact that you still deem it important, and you still look for it and you fight to get it.

Two great attributes for a coach are: one, to be able to teach everybody on the squad, and two, to get players on the squad to play better than they are. Those things are very, very, very difficult to do, and very few in the league can do it.

I don't know if all the talk the past two years has gotten into his head, ... But I think he's been probably stronger than a lot of us, a lot of his backers. A lot of people that he maybe expected to hold the line with him maybe caved in a little bit. If everybody was as strong about the commitment as Eddie is, then none of these questions would have ever popped up.

If you look at it from a position standpoint, you can say this is probably as strong a linebacker group as we've had in a while.

If you could draw up your image of the first free agent you were going to sign ... short of a franchise quarterback who's 22 years old, you probably end up with somebody like Kyle.
