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.
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.
empty five good three
Absolutely. In our league, when you go to a game, you see five receivers on the field, a lot of four, three receivers. You see empty (backfield) in every situation. So if you don't have at least three really good (corners), it'll be long Sundays.
changes four needs personnel present scheme system three whatever
In the present day NFL, you're going to have changes in your personnel every year, so your scheme - whatever it may be - is going to have to be flexible. You can't have a system that needs three or four years.
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.
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.
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.
hope quicker rises takes talking
You hope one of them rises quicker and takes the job. It'll be interesting to watch. We'll be watching, you'll be watching, we'll be talking about it I'm sure.
last needs plays though veteran
You have a veteran quarterback in Kelly, who is comfortable with his game. J.P. is a young quarterback and plays like one. ... He needs to be better for what he went though last year.

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.
