Brian Billick Early Quotations

He's here plenty early to make an impact.

There are varying opinions as to whether you do a surgery on this and there are prevailing opinions that say no, that the strength is good. That's something he and the doctors will have to sort through. Obviously, if they decide that it would put him in additional risk long term and if surgery is required, then clearly that would do him for the rest of the season.

Chris will do whatever he wants this weekend. He and I will reconvene early next week and go from there. We've got a game to play this weekend, and I have a team to orchestrate. Chris will make his plans accordingly and be back to Baltimore on Monday.

To draw too many conclusions about anybody this early in the season, I don?t know if that?s real functional.

Clearly with as much eight-man fronts as we've seen, we have to have somebody mobile who can make the throws outside when we get those one-on-ones. Can Chris do that? That's what we have to see.

Clearly what happened out there was giving into the emotion of the situation. Passion, emotion and intensity are good, but they've always got to be under control and we clearly didn't have it today.

I'm excited about the way Jamal ran, ... Jamal clearly had a rhythm and got stronger as he went.

We both want that nasty, foul taste out of our mouths from last Sunday. All but early in the season, there's a lot riding on it right now.

Jamal clearly had that rhythm -- good, tough, physical running -- and he got stronger as he went, which is typical of what you see.

I had a quarterback that had a year off. He needed those snaps. I wanted to get as many viable snaps with Anthony Wright - going into the Tennessee game - as I could. Clearly the game was out of reach, but it was a tactical decision to get Anthony the reps.
