Chad has had some versatility throughout his career, so I'm sure that he would be able to do that.
But your whole advantage offensively, is to know when the ball is being snapped. Defensively, that's your one disadvantage.
Honestly, we went through this at the end last year with the San Francisco game (and the starters played most of the game). Were treating this like a regular week ... I don't think anybody else really knows any other way to do it around here?. I don't think the players do. I don't think the coaches do. It's football season. Maybe I'll see it differently next week. I don't know.
If you don't stop the running game, it doesn't matter whether you can stop the passing game or not. They don't ever have to throw it if they don't want to. To me, against a team like Atlanta, if you can't stop them from running, it doesn't really matter what else happens.
If you're not really good in the running game and you're not really good on third down, you're probably not going to be really good defensively,
If you're drafting a guy, especially if you're drafting him high, you would like to think that he'd be around a little bit longer than the first day of training camp. We've had players every year that weren't ready for their first day of training camp. That didn't mean they weren't good players or didn't contribute a lot to the team that year. I don't think that's the final evaluation.
He's feeling better. He's looking better. He's a lot better than he was last week. So he's upgraded from where he was last week.
He's fast and he has good range for the safety position and he's done a good job as a contact player both in hitting and tackling and forcing the run when he's been asked to.
He's probably as good as there is in the game, ... not just on defensive backs, but also coming in and getting linebackers, which is unusual for a lot of receivers.
He's really given us more team speed on the field and he's done a good job of tackling.
I don't really care about that. I'm really concerned about what our team does. We all have a job to do here.
I don't rate them, but he's pretty good. There really isn't much that he can't do. He's good in the passing game. He runs inside. He runs outside. He runs with power. He has a lot of speed. He turns short gains into long ones . . . he can throw it. I think he has a pretty good complement of skills.
I don't rate 'em, but he's pretty good. There isn't much he can't do.
I didn't think there was enough evidence to warrant the challenge.
