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.

character coaches easily gone hot next players proud pushed tank trusted until
I was proud of the coaches and the adjustments they made. I was proud of the character the players showed. They could have easily gone in the tank and they didn't do that. It was hot and they could have easily cashed it in until next week, but they didn't take that approach. They battled through and were tired. They pushed each other and trusted the adjustments the coaches made.

We normally do that if a player is playing his old team.

I didn't listen to the whole interview, obviously. I don't think any of us did. I take care of those things in-house. I don't take it out to the public and do that. You guys know that. That's the way I'll handle this. It'll be in-house business. I obviously will address the player and those people that I need to talk to, and we'll work this thing out.

Mobility was a factor, ... We thought that if (McMahon) got into trouble, he could gain some yards with his feet. ... He did a good job. I have not had a chance to talk to the coaches and the players about it so I am not going to say something here.

Obviously, we cannot do it like we have been doing it. We have to get better as players and coaches and I have a lot of trust in both the players and the coaches. We will work very hard and make sure we get it together and do a better job.

T.O. came up big. That was a great play he made at the end for that touchdown. He's a great player who stepped up when we needed him.

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.
best guys hard hardest players release sure treated understand work
It's the hardest part about my job. It's hard to release a player. As a coach, you want your guys with you forever. But it doesn't work that way. I understand it, and the players understand it. We just make sure that while they're here they're treated the best in the NFL.

We have had success getting guys through here with this injury, ... I know it's magnified when it's your quarterback or a player of his magnitude. I understand how it becomes magnified, but we have a track record of being able to manage that injury, and we will see if we can't do the same. If he can't function at some point, we'll shut him down.
