Charley Casserly Good Quotations

We're going to take the best player available. We have enough needs. We did a good job I thought in free agency. But we still have areas where we can use depth. It won't be hard for players that we pick to come in and contribute this year.

Yes I've been told that's inaccurate by a source good enough for me to stand up here to quote it. Otherwise, I wouldn't get up here and say it.

We're pleased to have acquired him. The reason we targeted him on the first day of free agency was because we thought he was a good young talent.

I was told that's an inaccurate report from a very good source.

When David has time to throw, he does a good job. Offensive tackle is a hard position to solve unless you use a high draft pick, and we've used those picks on other positions. Good tackles aren't sitting there in free agency.

We didn't feel it was appropriate for him to be playing for the league minimum. This shows that if a player comes in and performs better than expected, we're willing to tear up the contract and pay him what he's worth. This puts him up there with the good starting running backs in the league.

I've been told it was inaccurate by a source good enough for me to quote it.

It's kind of an auction where you have to see what price you get and do it a little bit on feel whether you think the deal is worth it. Every year is different because of the difference in players and how good they are. I know that a lot of teams go by the value chart. We don't.

It's good to get this done because it won't be a distraction in July. He can come to Houston and focus on playing and not have to worry about getting a deal done.

It's good when you can keep a player that has played the amount of snaps Chester has and remain as consistent as he's been. You try to keep young players with this amount of playing experience with you for years to come.

David's a good player and a class individual. We had a great visit with him. We'd love to have him. We made him an offer, but they declined it.

Gary was tremendous to work with. His preparation for the draft was the most thorough of any coach I've worked with. Gary had a good feel for personnel on offense and defense. He communicated clearly what he wanted at each position. The scouts had a clear picture of what he wanted, and don't underestimate how important that is going into a draft.
