became deal direction elvis given heading indication jim leverage onto perceive potential pushed reason situation
I don't perceive this is as much of a problem, but if it became one then we'll deal with it. If Elvis and Jim wanted to use this situation as leverage to be pushed out onto the market, they could.

I'm sure it does to a degree for the players, ... I know it does for me, but you don't start camp with that mentality. We've spent an entire offseason addressing and looking very candidly at why that happened and addressing the reason for it. This team needs to move forward very aggressively.

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.

When a guy comes in late to camp, he quadruples the chance for injury because he has to catch up.

We have to correct the things which left us vulnerable in the second half of the Indianapolis game and the Tennessee game.

We certainly have the capability, no question about it. Those are our aspirations.

We're very optimistic with Travis. Less so with Todd.

We're very optimistic that Deion will be here. He's in good shape. I don't have to run him in a 40 to see he's OK.

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.

ability confident force hesitation huge impact lewis reckoned run taylor
We're very confident when Chester Taylor is in there and we have no hesitation with him. But Jamal Lewis is a force to be reckoned with, and when it's all said and done, he will have a huge impact on our ability to run the ball.
