best coaches conference easy good jumps people stand talent terms
We know some people down there who have been in that conference for a long time. They've had some pretty good players. Those coaches said, 'Jerry, he'll stand with the best of them in terms of his talent.' The talent was easy to see. That just jumps out at you.
address certainly gives player
It gives us hope, it certainly does. Every player has his own circumstances, and we have to address each and every one individually. But we certainly want Lance here.
bit blocking colleges game gone helped impact late looked people position running skill tight today using
I think (Tony) Gonzalez was the first tight end as of late where people look at him a little bit differently. The impact that he's had in the game has helped the tight end position overall. They're looked at as a skill position. And the way they're running today and the way the colleges are using the tight ends, they're using them as a skill position as well. What's gone away from the tight end position is the blocking. Blocking isn't as important with the tight end.
asked fact given hard perfect position positions problem risky terms throughout tight
I think the tight end position is probably one of the risky positions in terms of the durability, but that's given the fact of what they're asked to do. It's very hard, very hard to find the perfect tight end and durability is a problem throughout the league. Not just with our team, but a lot of teams.
couple good last players sundays training truly
I said this really the last couple years: Saturdays look like Sundays now, and that's good for football. They truly are training the players the way we want to use them on Sundays.
best club decision felt hope interest knew league marc prove starter team
I said 'Marc, I hope you prove me wrong,' ... And I know like Marc felt like he's still a starter in the league and I hope he can be. But again, it was a decision we felt like was in the best interest of the club and he knew that. We have to think team first.
again anybody field high hits injury later side sooner until workout
I think his workout will be a side show. It's not going to show you anything. The injury is what it is. He's not going to get back significantly sooner or later than anybody else with that injury. We really won't know anything until he hits the field again and we see what he can do. But someone will take him pretty high and take the chance.
agency drafted felt free good gotten players wallace
I thought Day would have gotten drafted and Wallace could have gotten drafted, so we felt in free agency those were probably as good of players as you could get.
both drafted gotten happy looked situation wallace
I thought Day would have gotten drafted and Wallace could have been drafted. They looked at our situation and they jumped on it, so we were real happy to get both of them signed.
agency free happen
I would like free agency to happen after the draft. The union, obviously, would like free agency to come before the draft.
listen specific talked teams
We've talked to some teams about players. I'm not going to get into the specific names, but it could be something we'll listen to.
business cap salary teams
We'll be able to go business as usual. Some teams may not be able to do that because of their salary cap situation.
draft family foundation happy strong terms
He's got a strong foundation in terms of his family and very grounded, and we're very happy to have him as our No. 1 draft pick.
good hard learn lesson ownership respect takes wrong
He's going to learn another lesson the hard way, but we like Tank; he's a good kid. Wrong place, wrong time. At least he takes ownership for what he did. We respect that about him.
