Because of the matchups that he creates, when we're trying to throw him the ball, he's able to get open in a lot of different ways against just about anybody,
I would assume it would be pretty soon, obviously, because they probably want to get it done as soon as possible. With free agency coming up in March, the franchise-tag deadline in late February, I'm sure that that's something that's probably a big priority.
Obviously, I'm not surprised by anything that happens anymore. But I've made it know I want to here and hopefully that'll happen.
Obviously, there is stuff that can be prevented. I don't think there are many worse things that can happen than those two things in those situations.
Obviously there are great coaches on both teams, but I just felt that energy in New Orleans. From the very beginning there was a genuine feeling that they wanted me there. They believe I can come back from this shoulder injury and lead them to a championship. They were as confident as I am, and that meant a lot.
Obviously, I want to make the decision as soon as I'm ready to, which should be pretty soon. It's a process. We're just working out a compromise. Both sides have been in discussions, and they'll continue to talk.
Obviously if you watch the same highlights as I did, he's a pretty incredible athlete. He makes a lot of big plays. I think a lot of people think they can turn him into a pretty good, consistent passing quarterback as well as running.
Obviously if Gates turns out missing the first game because of this, that's disappointing for everyone in this locker room because he is big part of our team and we don't want to see that happen.
Obviously I'd like to get this thing operated on as soon as possible. We're all very optimistic. The doctors are very optimistic, saying that this is something that they've seen before, done before, It shouldn't be a big deal.
Mini-camp would be five months, so by that point I should be full speed. I'm going to do everything that I can to get back as soon as possible. The real date that is most important is early September. I need to make sure I'm good to go by then.
Me and Gates, we laughed in the weight room today because that wasn't our 'A' game,
Obviously, you gradually work toward being full strength.
Now we're getting recognized and (some of our) games are in prime time. People see him and he's on the cover of video games. So people start to notice.
Now the expectation is to be (in the playoffs). Everybody knows that, and they know we can do it. We've done it. So why can't we do it again this year?
