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.
approach deals everybody game guy next steps tall
Everybody deals with injuries. We've been there before. The next guy steps up. That's a tall order, but you can't approach the game any other way.
approach fruitful guy starting telling until
Anthony Wright is our starting quarterback and he will be our starting quarterback until circumstances change, ... That's the only approach we can take. It's not fruitful to tell a guy, 'You're the guy part-time,' or telling the other guy, 'You're out for the year.' You just don't do that.
approach boot far forward game starting until watching
Anthony Wright is our starting quarterback, and he will be our starting quarterback until circumstances change. That's the only approach we can take. Kyle's going to be in his boot watching the game this weekend. That's as far forward as we're going to go with it.
approach build couple expect good hitting last liked physical positive saw style taking talked terms tough via week
You saw a more physical style or approach in hitting the hole, ... You saw those good tough runs, taking a couple of guys, always getting positive yards, and that is Jamal's game. We expect to build on that with every week. I liked what I saw in terms of the temperament via particularly what we talked about all last week with Jamal.
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.
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.
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.
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.
