business coach family feels gets good happen home ideas likes people perry unique work
Perry has some ideas of people he likes and feels comfortable with, and we're going to look in that direction. I think it will be a win-win for everybody. It's a unique situation, and we feel good about making it work out. It doesn't happen very often in this business that a coach gets to go home and his family gets to go home, too.
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.
ball easier fearful game help honest people run running tackle
With Willis and our young right tackle Jason, we feel like we can help our quarterbacks mature, make the game a little easier for them, if we can run the ball successfully, play-action pass, keep some people really honest and fearful of what we're going to do running the football.
athletic ball field knock knocked liked looking love people plays primarily somebody stretch
We love the way he plays the game. We're looking for somebody who can knock people off the ball for us and that can also stretch the field a little bit. He's very athletic for a big guy. He's got that speed, and that will keep some people honest. Primarily we liked how he knocked people off the ball.
goes people scheme seems situations team thanksgiving
I think that they'll still play in our scheme because they have to play in the scheme. When they don't play in the scheme, you get situations like we got on Thanksgiving Day - different people at different times freelancing to some degree. And when everything goes bad, as it did on that day, the other team seems to find those breakdowns.
five good hear people terrific until wait
You'll hear me say, 'We've had a terrific draft.' Because you always take people you like and feel are good. But truly, you have to wait and see how it pans out. You may not know how good you did until five years later.
certainly free gathering invest money people time top
You certainly invest a lot of time and money into gathering your information, so it makes no sense to be free with it or give it away to anybody. Particularly at the top of the draft, people are pretty close.
background believer creatively fact run steve throw variety ways win
I like Steve because I like his background. I like the variety of ways he's coached. I'm a big believer in the fact you've got to do it all to win in our league. You've got to be able to throw it creatively but you've got to be able to run it. He's had a background in both.
love wait
I love this position. I'll wait to see what occurs.
aware beginning behind certainly coach college defensive football head move open personnel position study talk time training worked
Not enough to talk about where it's going to be at the beginning of training camp. I'm certainly aware of him. I didn't study him out of college because at that time I wasn't a head coach and only worked on the defensive side. So I am behind in that regard. But he will be part of the personnel study as we move forward. Every position we have will be competitive and open to competition.
hard position stand steve
It's hard for me to stand up here in this position because Steve is a friend.
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.
gave
We gave them a game, gave them a little scare, but it wasn't enough.
