I need to do a better job of putting my players in position to make plays on the offensive side of the ball. On the defensive side, I saw some good things.
They had a big challenge in there. That's a pretty good defensive front. To come out and be able to put together a 100-yard-plus game is a tribute to those big guys.
We appreciate all that Corey has done for this organization over the last five years. With the great amount of depth and talent we have along the defensive line, we chose to give Corey and opportunity to sign with another team.
We liked him as a defensive end coming out. He played linebacker in Pittsburgh and we asked him if he was interested in putting his hand down and playing defensive end again and he liked that. We thought he was a heck of a player coming out of Florida State.
Reggie is well deserving of his Hall of Fame induction. In my mind, he will go down as the greatest defensive end in NFL history. He was a great teammate and a fun player to coach. As good as a player as he was on the field, he was an even better person off the field. He left a lasting legacy, both in the NFL and in the community.
I'm sure (injuries) hurt him there a bit. He was battling through it. It was not an easy thing for him.
I'm sure everybody has their opinion on him. Obviously there are some guys that like him and guys that didn't like him. He doesn't get into that. Every week people try to taunt him.
In hindsight, ... I didn't look very smart on that one.
I knew he was hurt. It wasn't nearly as bad (Monday) night when he was playing as it was when he woke up (Tuesday) morning. It kind of stiffened up on him. He felt comfortable playing. He never said a word about it. He just went out and did his thing.
I like his size and the way he runs the football. I thought he did a nice job of catching the football and I thought he was good in blitz pickup, recognizing people coming. Before he went to Miami, I thought he was a heck of a running back and he was in a numbers situation down there and his number was out. He is a good football player.
I like Mike's mobility. It's important everybody does their job. The quarterback gets the brunt of it. I'm not going to point fingers. Everybody had a piece in it.
I kind of felt that way the last four years. You've got to bring your 'A' game. I know other teams are saying that about us. We've been getting everybody's best shot.
It's still bothering him. It's not coming around as fast as it should have. So, we are going to recheck that thing and see what the deal is.
It's something I started doing at the college level. I did it for the offensive side at the college level and just continued it when I became a head coach.
