Wesleyan's variety of curriculum, people and ideas helped prepare me for this aspect of my career, which began in 1975 and has continued to evolve every year since.
Everybody that is covering, once they get behind the blocker, then they lose leverage on the guys that they're trying to block. The penalties aren't when they're in front of them. The penalties are when they're behind them or they're on the side of them.
Every player that dresses for the game, I've told them to be ready to go for 60 minutes just like it's a regular-season game.
Every season undergoes changes. I've been in the NFL over 30 years and it has been like that every single year in one way or another. Sometimes when it seems like we've had the most changes, those have turned out to be some of the better years.
Every situation is independent. It takes two parties, or three to a point, to make a deal, and when that happens, we have one, and if it doesn't, we don't.
As the defender, if I have outside leverage on you and then I get beat outside, then that's really a problem.
Corey joins Kevin Faulk and our other very good backs to deepen an already competitive running back position,
You get two kicks blocked in a game, your odds of winning go down significantly. So, that's an area we have to get straightened out.
You get into the situation where you have an experienced player that gives you a certain quality of play, and you have a younger player who you think is going to be better but he's not better now,
There's no situation I've been in, before or since, that even would remotely approach that one for negativity and affecting the overall focus of the team. Not within 100 miles. It touched every single person in the building, every secretary, every ball boy. I felt badly for everyone involved.
The toughest task now is, 'How are you going to top this?' Because we're going to win another one.
I've been in the game for a while. I've heard 'Belichick' and 'genius' together. I've also heard 'Belichick' and 'moron' together.
It would be hard for me to tell Eugene what he did wrong. There were a lot of calls in that game I'd have a hard time explaining.
The running back situation is a good, competitive one. I think Antowain and Kevin are good players, have good, solid strengths. I think both of those players are going to be productive for us. They have been in the past. How exactly it's going to work out, I don't know. I'm sure it will be decided on the field. We'll do what we think is best for the team.
