He didn't blink, ... He was like, 'I got you, coach. I got you.'
He didn't have to do that because I know our stand with Mr. Johnson, we've had a relationship for five years, a very good working relationship. Our relationship was formed on one thing and one thing only: trust. We both trust each other, we both understand what we're trying to do here.
He'll be in the flow of the game, we hope we don't get into a game that's 70, 80 plays. If he can get 20-something plays in, that would be great. We want to rotate those guys because it's going to be hot out there.
He likes trying to make the big kick,
He helped build the foundation here for how we play offense and we will continue to build on that success.
He has to learn to be more focused in on every play, every little thing.
He felt he could help us, but then we had some offensive line issues,
He doesn't trust a lot of people. Fortunately, he trusts me. I can have conversations with Laveranues, and he'll come in my office and wonder when my wife is going to bake him some cookies.
He gives more than he gets so he's really like Curtis Martin. At the end of the day, those guys are who make the league great because of what they do on the field, how they conduct themselves as professionals and what the do off the field. His legacy as a player goes far beyond his football career.
He gave us the best chance to do what we needed to do to win the game. I had reservations, but he was able to go in and do some things.
He looks good, strong, I know he can run. We had a good talk about the program we're going to put him on. He wants to play in the opener, he'll play in the opener, we'll see how many snaps he can play.
He'll have a heck of a career, ... That's what you want. You drafted a guy you think will be here for 10, 12 years. If he can stay consistent, stay healthy he has the ability to do that. I know he has the mind-set and the work ethic to do that.
He'll do what he has to do to come back. But it is tough. He's a little down.
We've been through a horrific season. It's not fun for the players, it's not fun for the organization. We just kept fighting. That's something to say about those men in that locker room.
