ball control team
That was very pivotal, very important. Obviously, you can't let a team control the ball that way.
career guy guys joy pass people prepare stage thousand
That's up to Deion. Having him here, as I've said a thousand times, has been phenomenal. It's been a joy for me to be around such a professional, and to see a guy at this stage of his career prepare the way he does and pass that on to people around him is special. Our guys are better for it.
aware limit number total
I would like to limit the total number of reps for Deion -- which we do have to be aware of at 38 years old -- to the secondary.
approach came countless deep detailed given good head hours league learning mike needs passionate people qualities spent talking thinker works
Mike analyzes everything. He works at his trade. He came into it new, and spent countless hours learning the craft, talking with people around the league to find out what it is he needs to do, and given that opportunity, how he would approach being a head coach. He's very detailed in his preparation. Mike's a very deep thinker and very passionate about the game, and those are two pretty good qualities to become a head coach.

I think he is soaking up everything, ... I think he has a sense of everything going by for the last time. He enjoys the game and he has that veteran presence to know, 'You know what? This is kind of special. There's a chance I might have been out of football altogether, so I want to enjoy this.'
certainly ground happens hope starting wants zero
I think he really wants to be here. He really wants to be back with us. You never know, but I would certainly hope it happens for us. If we get Duane back, and you look at our defense, what we still have left, we're not starting at ground zero with that group. And that's the perception.
hit maturity positions sudden whether
Whether it's opportunity, whether it's maturity on their part, all of a sudden they hit it. Some never do. It's just one of those positions that's very unique.
smarter
I think Marvin would have been the smarter hire, but I'm biased,
account bad ball consistency continue next people presence rely run step todd ways
We need a consistency there, ... We've got to continue to find ways to get the ball in Mark's hands, which we'll do. It's not bad having Derrick Mason, Todd Heap, run the ball well. But to have another presence that people have to account for on the back side, with some consistency that the quarterbacks can rely on, that's the next step for us.
beat good knew
You knew we were going to beat him up. He was just too good to be true.
fast goes road
We've been down this road before, ... We are in negotiations, we have been in negotiations; it never goes as fast as you'd like.
compare people problem
The problem I see is I don't know who you compare Vince Young to - and I think that makes people uncomfortable. Young is a different breed.
completion lead percentage weeks
The quarterback's completion percentage -- even in the first two weeks -- is pretty good, ... That should lead to more productivity.
