concerns creates playing problem safety
It creates a problem with the playing field....So that's what concerns me, it's the safety for the players.
agreement bargaining collective league limited player
We can take action with a player without the league taking any action. But all that we can do is, we can deactivate him. But we're limited under the collective bargaining agreement to four games.
cap create people players room salary sign three
Some people said, 'Why didn't you sign Peyton Manning?' Well, we just couldn't do it. We would have had to let go of two or three of our outstanding players to create enough room in the salary cap to do something with him.
players role whether
Our players are role models; there's no question about it. Whether they want to be or not. They are. So they're in the spotlight. So if they do something that's wrong, that's in the spotlight, too.
franchise goes performs player playing valuable
A quarterback that goes out and performs for you and is a franchise quarterback is more valuable than a player playing another position, but there's a lot more risk there. It's a more difficult position to play, and there are lot more failures.
mistake thinking play
Case (Keenum) is going to be the quarterback. We’re going to give him a chance to see how he can perform. I think the jury is still out. He’s got a lot of ability. He’s shown some flashes of brilliance and then he’s shown some rookie mistakes. We’ve got to see if we can improve, eliminate those mistakes, minimize those mistakes and continue some of the outstanding play that (we’ve) seen and see whether we think that he can be a starting quarterback in the NFL. At this point, we really don’t know.
close competing playoff spot
I thought we should be competing for a playoff spot and we weren't even close to that.
defense dominant missing pass people player
Some people think this is a ploy. It's not. We think he's just as dominant a player on defense as Reggie is on offense. The thing we've been missing has been a pass rush.
certainly effort none players proud team totally
I certainly wasn't proud of that. And the players weren't proud of it. None us were. That's not the kind of team ... that's not the kind of effort that we want to have. That's just totally unacceptable and we're not going to have that.
happy next none performance team until wait year
We will wait until the end of the year before we make any determinations for next year. None of us are happy with the performance of our team this year. We're all disappointed. It's very frustrating.
born gary houston led level raised team
With Gary being born and raised in Houston, what better way to get this team to the championship level then to be led by a Houston Texan.
diego eight games next nine number occur recent san season swings teams
There have been a number of teams that have had swings of eight games from one season to the next and some nine games. The Colts had a 10-game swing (from 1998 to 1999). The most recent was San Diego went from 4-12 to 12-4 in 2004. Significant swings can occur like that.
exciting obvious position spot
I don't want to be in this position again. This is an exciting time, but this isn't the spot you want to be in for obvious reasons.
accurate ball break great knew super throwing
I was impressed, but I wasn't surprised, because we already knew Vince was a great athlete. He showed a super arm. He was really accurate. He put the ball on the numbers. He was accurate throwing on the run, and he didn't have to break stride. It was a great performance.
