again needed sure
I never said that. I would never say that. I don't know what's going to happen. He's done it in the past, and if we needed him to do it again and we called upon him, I'm sure he would do it.
avoid background came chance ethic experience gave good higher knowing league maintain mature point second starting successful takes terms work year
They'll be starting from a much higher point in terms of experience and background in our system, knowing what it takes to play in the league and all that. I think they came in at a very mature level. To avoid the second year not being as good as the first, I think they have to maintain their work ethic and attitude, desire, aggressiveness, all of those things that gave them a chance to be successful this year.
against game matter passing running stop team throw whether
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.
game good running third
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,
bit contribute drafting final good longer mean players ready team training year
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.
attention bit blitz bring care category inside last line moss offense opens peppers pressures receiver special talked week whatever
Because the offense usually extends a little bit to try to take care of him, they like to bring the linebackers and blitz them up inside. As the line widens to give attention to Peppers, that opens up a lot of the inside pressures for them. We talked about last week (Oakland receiver Randy) Moss being kind of in a special category, offensively, for the Raiders. I think you have to put Peppers in that same, whatever category that is, defensively.
feeling last looking
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.
asked both contact fast forcing good hitting job player position range run safety tackling
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.
coming defensive good unusual
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.
field given good job speed team
He's really given us more team speed on the field and he's done a good job of tackling.
care concerned job team
I don't really care about that. I'm really concerned about what our team does. We all have a job to do here.
complement gains good passing rate runs short throw turns
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.
rate
I don't rate 'em, but he's pretty good. There isn't much he can't do.
background football good handle leadership picks starting thrown
Chad's a smart, experienced football player. He's got a good background and picks things up quickly. We've thrown a lot at him, and he's been able to handle it. He's starting to take on the leadership role.
