Scot McCloughan Quotations

I haven't talked to my Dad since the coin flip. I don't want to put him in that situation." ()

The thing that stands out the most is a big-time playmaker on offense. Brandon (Lloyd) has made some big plays, and he has the potential to be a good receiver, but you don't have the guy who's the go-to guy on third down and he's going to make the play. That's the one thing that stands out the most. There are good football players here, but the depth wasn't as much as you'd like. There was a reason they had the record that they had. You don't blame all that on the coaching." ()

It puts us one slot ahead of where we might have been and we can take a player we have our eye on." ()

I think to be a successful quarterback at the Division I level and win games says a lot about your mental makeup and your leadership ability. The thing that impressed us about Robinson, in being around him, is he's the type of guy you want on your side. He's a tough guy, he's an intelligent guy. He's going to find a way to win games." ()

I feel pretty comfortable with the guys on the O-line that we took in the draft and the guys already here. I feel it's a solid group with some depth, starting next year." ()

You feel good about (Robinson). You have 90 percent of the player you are looking for because you have the attitude, the toughness, the intelligence. Now the 10 percent you don't know is about the conversion. (But) you know he's going to do everything he can to make the conversion." ()

Some people look at it as a negative because of the way they hold the ball or whatever, but every quarterback is different. If that's the way he's programmed, then so be it. If he's successful with it, why change it? Over the long haul, quarterback is so hard to figure out anyway, seeing how many first-round picks don't make it, and how many lower-round picks do.

If he's our second-best safety opposite Tony, then he'll be playing and we'll reduce his special teams role." ()

When you're around him, he's one of those guys you want on your side." ()
