He was the best guy, regardless of if he was sitting at home on the couch. When you look at all the other guys who were coming in here, he was the best guy.
He was taking what they were giving him. He was slinging it really well. Jay also did a great job of not trying to force it too much.
He's playing as good as he can play, that's all you can ask of the guy. He's got to get help along the way.
He wants to play. He just wants to make sure he's OK, and I can understand that. That's something you don't deal with lightly. I anticipate he'll be back. I'd say it's 50-50.
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,
I think players in the league recognize that and he'll have a great opportunity this year.
I think Charles Woodson can do whatever he wants if his mind is right. It's according to what he wants to do.
I think offenses need rhythm. When you play and you go three-and-out, that doesn't produce any rhythm for you. You start pressing.
I tell ya', ... that's the most pampered right arm since Zsa Zsa Gabor slapped that Beverly Hills policeman some years back. But Chad's worth it. He's our guy. As soon as he can throw 20 yards downfield, we'll know he's back at full strength.
I think in a certain system he can play corner. It's just a matter of in his mind does he want to play corner. He can play both, but I don't know what he wants to play. I still think he can do that (bump and run). I think Charles Woodson can do whatever he wants if his mind is right. It's according to what he wants to do.
I think he thinks in his mind that whatever it takes to come back, he is going to do. So, that's his mind-set. It has always been his mind-set. That's what makes him so special.
