across guys players seen single test walk
I've seen players test in single digits and play 10 years, and I've seen some guys test in the 30s that couldn't walk across the street.
combined direction four games healthier last players playoff seven signed
Last year, we had seven players leave. Those seven players had a combined 52 playoff games. We've signed four players to date, and those four have 30 playoff games ? a younger, healthier group. I think you can see the direction we're headed.
four free money players three
We will be able to participate in free agency. We will not be a big player. We will be able to participate. The players we have now, we have money pocketed in three or four different places.
attributes coach difficult everybody few great league players squad teach
Two great attributes for a coach are: one, to be able to teach everybody on the squad, and two, to get players on the squad to play better than they are. Those things are very, very, very difficult to do, and very few in the league can do it.
good lost number players replace takes talented team time
Now, our team is talented but very young. We lost a number of really good players and it takes time to replace them, if you can. We're working our way through that.

It helps us to get something worked out with him before free agency, and I think both parties in this case were able to accomplish what they wanted with the deal.

We're very pleased to have Kyle here for the next several years.
career position
Quarterback, the most important position in professional sports. So all you need to do is find one before your career is over.
coach full gm hit kinds moving plug rather running three trying whatever
Rather than trying to hit two or three moving targets, that is trying to get the right coach or the right GM or the right coordinator or whatever it is, they keep that pretty much stable.

backs giant people running
People get a giant misconception about running backs in the NFL,
darn games goes good row six third unique year
The thing that is really unique about it is that this at least the third year in a row where you could go out and say, 'Well, how much can he improve?'Â ... But after six games this year, he's off the charts, and yet there's nothing to make you say this is as good as he's going to get or he'll never be better. I don't know where he goes from here, but right now he's doing pretty darn good.
