We want Chad to be the quarterback, but Chad knows he's going to be competing for the job. He's been told that, he understands that. That's going to make him better and whoever comes in here, that's going to make him better.
We want celebrations, but we don't want it where you cross the line. These guys are creative, and they'll come up with some stuff. But I don't like it where you embarrass the other team.
We like what he's done. He makes some errors, but all young players make some errors. The thing about him is that he is playing the left side and that's big when you can find a left tackle that you feel can play the position. That's a plus for us.
Every time he steps underneath the center as a young quarterback, he's going to experience some things. Obviously, this is one he doesn't like, this one the team doesn't like. It's a maturing process for him. He'll grow from it. We'll all grow from it.
I've never been around a 41-year-old guy who was taking his kids to school and all of a sudden he's a starting quarterback.
I've always had great expectations for defense. Your mind-set as a coach, you know you win with defense, you sell tickets with offense. They understand where I'm coming from. You grow up on one side of the ball you always feel that way.
Sometimes you look at it and say, 'Where's he throwing the ball?' Then Laveranues comes in and catches it.
At this point, it's 2006, and we got our first win of 2006. It's something to kind of laugh about, but it's important for us to point this organization in the right way. ... Like I have said many times, it's not a condition; it was just a season. It's over for us.
At this point I anticipate he'll be out for the season,' ... Jay Fiedler, at this point, I don't want to say how long it will be, but it could be a season, also.
Did we think he was going to be 100 percent? No. We knew we'd bring him along. We thought we brought it along all right.
Curtis understands that he's going to be back here, (but) there's going to be open competition (for the starting position). Obviously, Curtis Martin will have a role on this team.
Curtis is a unique guy. He's always been that way.
You feel bad, you really do. Makes your stomach hurt. You never know why. You try to sit and try to figure out why. You can't figure out why. Just part of the game, I guess.
Warrick was with us in Tampa so I've known him since he was a rookie,
