hard program time trying
He went two hard ones yesterday. We're trying to program what he needs, but at the same time not put him at risk.
completion lead percentage weeks
The quarterback's completion percentage -- even in the first two weeks -- is pretty good, ... That should lead to more productivity.
along anxious both continue faith game great obviously prudent reason running until
We'll find the right balance, ... We have great faith in both backs. It was great to see Jamal have the game he had. There's no reason to think he couldn't continue along that path. Until Chester is healthy, that's obviously the prudent way to go. But Chester is running real well, and we are anxious to get him back into the rotation.
approach football holds isolate left rest stay team work year
When you're a 2-4 football team, you go back to work and you work your way through. That's what's left of this team right now, ... What the rest of the year holds for us, we'll find out and we'll see what that means. This team will stay together, it will work and it will try to isolate the way that we can get better. That's the only approach I know how to take at this point.
crack losing nut start stopping streak third tough win
When you're 0-2, your whole world has to be about getting that first win and stopping that slide. A two-game losing streak to start the season, it can't get to that third game. That's a tough nut to crack if it does.
process responsibility talking tired
The process is what I am tired of talking about sometimes, ... At some point, everyone has to take responsibility for their actions.

There are no moral victories in the NFL. You win or you lose. We lost, but I've never been prouder to be part of a group of men than these guys.
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.

So I hear they call you 'The Freak' Wow, that's quite a coincidence. They call me 'The Brain.'
