Brian Billick Sure Quotations

Hopefully, we can run the ball equally as well, ... I'm sure Tennessee is focused on not letting that happen again.

Just make sure we walk across that street on Sunday,

We've had a lot of success with a certain profile, ... I'm not sure that as much as we've tried to change the profile a little bit -- and I think we have enhanced it, I think we've thrown the ball a little bit better -- it hasn't been as productive. I think we can build on that, but our profile should remain the same: Play good defense and run the ball well, which we haven't done in two games. That certainly has to be a focus.

It was the right thing to do. It gives him the maximum rehab time, multiple opinions. He sought them all, we sought them all. It was great that we were able to come to a resolution. I'm sure he's comfortable with it.

Ramsey has a nice delivery and the ball comes out of his hand really well. It's hard because they're all throwing to guys they're not familiar with. But he was impressive. I hesitate to say anybody helps or hurts themselves in this environment, but I'm sure he helped himself with some teams. Ramsey could indeed jump into that No. 3 position.

Ours, given our circumstance, has been a little bit of a reversal. We have to have more productivity in the passing game to take it to another level. I'm sure their mantra is they have to take that next step defensively to get to that next level. In that regard, we are very similar.

You don't want to put a player at risk. He feels good. We just have to make sure everyone else signs off on it.

I've got to be responsive to the needs and the passions in the way my players feel like they need to play the game but also make sure there is a very clear line of demarcation as to what is acceptable and what is not.

I just basically talked to him about what we're doing and made sure he wanted to still be around for this stage of rebuilding. We just talked football. Just cleared the decks. I wanted to tell him what's going on and make sure he was comfortable with it all. We didn't even begin to talk numbers, but there was no hesitation on his part.

I'm sure it does to a degree for the players, ... I know it does for me, but you don't start camp with that mentality. We've spent an entire offseason addressing and looking very candidly at why that happened and addressing the reason for it. This team needs to move forward very aggressively. We're very proud of the legacy we have here, but this team's going to have a new identity, it really is. It's different than any team we've had.

Clearly, Kyle's ability to lead as a quarterback eventually will stem from his productivity. Like any leader, that's what he'll be held accountable to. What we have to make sure is we're holding him accountable for those things he can control and holding others accountable for what is going on around him.
