careful counted ease figuring great people
We just got to be careful now, we can't get him hurt. I don't know if that is something he and his people counted on, figuring great he signed, he will start. No he won't. I've got to find out where he is at (mentally) and ease him into it.

We're very lucky to have two outstanding backs. We have a great deal of faith in Jamal's continued ability to be one of the better backs in the league, and we will continue to try to highlight that.

gives great maximum multiple rehab sought sure
It was the right thing to do. It gives him the maximum rehab time, multiple opinions. He sought them all, we sought them all. It was great that we were able to come to a resolution. I'm sure he's comfortable with it.
ball catch compensate eventually focus great hope others played running solid special
Focus on what you have, not what you don?t have. We had great defense; we were running the ball well, played solid special teams. That?s what you focus on and hope the others can compensate and eventually catch up.
division excited great last pieces relating running start title zeus
We are very excited to have Zeus back. His physicality and temperament is a big part of what we did last year, relating to the division title and what we did in the running game. We have all of our pieces in place, which is a great way to start the season.
example great placed value
We have a great example for the young guys. He placed that much value at one more opportunity.
came deal good great next obviously plain spot week work
We got a lot of work to do plain and simple. This bye week didn't look to be in a good spot when it first came out, but obviously right now it's what we need because we have a great deal of work this next two weeks.
adjust comfort great hopefully last logical nice team zone
It's the logical choice. Kordell was great for us last year. A great team member, understands the role. Hopefully there's enough carry-over for him, verbiagewise, that he can adjust quickly. It's a nice comfort zone having him back.
great man shoulders watch
It was a great day to be a part of, to watch history, to watch that young man do what he did. We put it on his shoulders all week.

They are two class individuals and I know they have a great affection for the people in Tennessee, for that organization, as they should, ... There is nothing like going home and being in a competitive atmosphere.
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.
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.
act coach great knew learning mike rookie starting
When you're starting out as a rookie coach with those two, my plea was, 'Act like you're learning something, OK, so I can keep my job.' They had something like 35 years experience. I would say, 'Tell me what you want to do and act like it was my idea.' They were great that way. You knew Mike would be a great coach.
