embrace guys monday night tall team
We've been here before. Every team has at some point. You have to embrace the challenge. It's a tall order. It's an outstanding team, Monday night at their place. Our guys will show up, and be energized by it.
across based broad care class concern draft entire evaluation good guy looks process record tells track
This quarterback class looks pretty good. It looks pretty broad based across the entire draft. But I don't care how good an evaluator you are and what your track record is, you draft a guy in the first round, it's a crapshoot. It's 50-50. And that's the thing that will concern most teams. ... When one of us is wrong, we're kind of all wrong, and that tells you how iffy the evaluation of the quarterback process is.

additional clearly decide doctors opinions prevailing rest risk sort strength surgery term whether
There are varying opinions as to whether you do a surgery on this and there are prevailing opinions that say no, that the strength is good. That's something he and the doctors will have to sort through. Obviously, if they decide that it would put him in additional risk long term and if surgery is required, then clearly that would do him for the rest of the season.
assets balance capable nickel outside pressure talked talking
We've always talked about the pressure from the outside and contrasting that with Terrell Suggs . If that's a nickel role, you're talking 15-25 snaps. He's capable of doing more, but we have a lot of assets here to balance that out. If we can use him more, we will.
both early foul last mouths riding taste
We both want that nasty, foul taste out of our mouths from last Sunday. All but early in the season, there's a lot riding on it right now.
coaching head hopefully indeed jim looking next seen supportive
We're going to be very supportive of Jim's looking and hopefully being able to procure a head coaching job. I think Jim would be outstanding. If indeed that doesn't happen, Jim will be back next year. Some of the speculation I've seen is just that, because Jim and I have already had discussions about some of the things we need to do.
We're getting done what we wanted to do, not withstanding the game.
ball defense dictates exactly expansion game good offense points profile run score special throw
We want to score more points, ... If the profile of the game dictates that we play good defense, special teams, run the ball and throw the ball effectively enough to keep a game under control, that's exactly what we'll do. Yes, we'd like to score more points. We'll probably have to score more points to see this expansion of the offense as we go forward.
added board building draft guy next offense ranked spent team top unless wind
We spent next year's No. 1 to get a guy who was ranked 10th on our board this year, ... What's that worth? Unless we wind up in the top 10 of next year's draft -- and we think we're going to a better team than that -- we can live with that price. This building is pumped. We've added to our offense and our defense, and we've got a quarterback we can build around.
fun halfway mark nfl quarter
We'll see where we are when we get to the quarter mark this week, when we get to the halfway mark. The NFL is all over the map. It's fun to watch.
certainly doubt enriched fact gotten head inclusive management mind process wise wisely
I think the process is equitable. It's certainly not perfect. And management would be wise to be more inclusive in their perspective. But Marvin has been enriched by the fact that he has gotten to go through the process. I have no doubt in my mind that someone's going to wisely make him a head coach.
against bad believe dollars experience fine internal involved league monetary punishing regardless suffice thousands today whether york
The rationale is that the individuals involved feel bad today and are punishing themselves. Believe me, when the league fines them, it will be substantial, ... If I thought an internal sanction, a monetary sanction against them, would suffice or help, I'd do it in a New York second. My experience is it does not. If they are not remorseful on their own -- regardless of whether the league fines them a penny, or whether they fine them hundreds of thousands of dollars -- if they don't internalize the culpability, then we're no better than we were yesterday.
great knowing matter
To be a go-to guy, it's not just a matter of making great plays. It's the quarterback knowing that he can go to you at any situation, and more often than not, you're going to deliver.
