bring five guys law looking older players says seven three
That's the kind of players we targeted. There's no law that says we can't or won't bring in older players here. But we were looking for guys who, if we're right about them, will be with us for three to five to seven years.
agency bit critically exact free guys lucky money obvious pick
You like to have the numbers. It's obvious to say, but it's critically important who you pick and how it pans out. You've got to be a little bit lucky because it's not an exact science. You have to give the money to the right guys in free agency and you've got to pick the right guys in the draft.
guys love occasions team
We love Willis. We'd just love him a little more if he had been here. We know this, he is down there working. We'd just like to get him with our team and working with the guys on those occasions when he can make it.
fought guys mistakes performed
They (Steelers) had everything to play and they performed well. I thought our guys performed well. I thought our guys fought hard. We had the same kind of mistakes that set us back all year.
fit four guys movement people present teach three whatever
There's always going to be movement in personnel, so your schemes, whatever they are, have to fit your present people but they also need to fit who's going to come in. They can't be so complicated that you need four years to teach it and three or four years for guys to develop.
guy heading hope named somebody
Somebody will be named heading into camp, but there is always going to be competition. We'll try to name that guy going through the spring, but if we don't, we don't. We hope to have a feeling.
critical fought guys mistakes year
I thought our guys really fought hard. We just made the mistakes that have kind of set us back all year in critical areas.
gets guy runs
He's not a guy who runs with the ball. He's not a guy who gets tackled.
available chart contribute depth limited numbers players special teams
It was a numbers thing. Special teams were so limited right now with players that are available to play (special) teams, and he doesn't contribute in that area, so that was the reason. It wasn't really for anything he hadn't done. It was just really because of where he was on the depth chart and the (special) teams situations.
bit bring changing higher hopefully level push somebody start surface thinking three
We wanted a three-man push there, thinking that the three of them would bring the level of play up of all of them a little bit higher and then one of them will surface (as the starter). At some point, we'll have to start changing the reps, because somebody hopefully will take the job. It'll be interesting.
game grows player thrives
(Bettis) is the kind of player that the game needs, the game thrives on, and the game grows around.
difference felt hindrance lost meeting problem talking team
I've never felt like it was a hindrance as a coach, I've never felt like it was a problem with a player. Never felt like it made any difference in a meeting. I've never felt like I lost a team in a meeting talking to them.
feeling strong whatever worked
I've always had a strong feeling that they just want to win. For whatever reason, it hasn't worked out for them.
bless bruce football god heck jim jobs kelly player position team whether
Every position is competitive. Whether you have Jim Kelly or Bruce Smith, if there is a better player that can take those jobs from those guys, then God bless us, we've got a heck of a football team in the making.
