We understand it's never as good as you think and never as bad as you think in this league. Mike Nolan's putting together a football team right now, working his tail off to get that thing right. He's got a bright future ahead of him.
Brian is a big part of this offense and a big part of this team as a representative on and off the football field. I'm really happy for Brian. It's a great thing for him and the team to have him signed to a long-term contract. I really believe both the player and the team benefit from each other.
Besides his ability, another thing that impressed us was that he was the captain of the football team, which shows he was very well-respected by the coaches and players. We're excited to be bring in a person of that caliber.
We have a good nucleus of players who have been here, ... and they understand what we are all about, what we are trying to accomplish. And that is the strength of the football team.
I think he feels pretty good, ... He is running around good. He hasn't had a lot of pain in there. He will get a nice stretch before he gets out there and plays. He should be fine.
I expect them to do a nice job. If you focus in on the football and run the routes the right way, you'll be fine.
If we didn't understand the importance of special teams before, we certainly do after today. You have to take that part of the game seriously, too. You have to take care of the football and you have to block and tackle.
One of the things that's pretty obvious is you can't get down by four touchdowns against a good football team like we did Sunday. We have to start faster. We realize we haven't done a good job of that this year.
We will look at all phases and we will make sure we learn from the experience and we take the good from it and try to get better as a football team. With the character of players I have here, I know it will take place.
We're not on vacation. We're down here to play a football game.
It's a nice addition to a good football team. When you put him right in the mix with (the rest of the offense), it presents itself to be an explosive package.
It's a great situation for our football team, especially to add somebody of this guy's caliber into the mix.
There are things that we still need to do. There's certain things at stake and our guys understand that. Also, we need to keep improving as a football team. That's the mentality that this group has taken on. They understand that they haven't reached their peak.
You don't let it be a distraction. That is not what you do. There are going to be things that happen and you don't focus on those things. You focus on getting the football team ready to play and you handle the other things up front the way we do it.
