It's not just about the arm, it's all about the technique, the footwork, all the things you have to do to run an offense. He didn't practice (in training camp). I mean, practice is practice. He missed all that time when everyone else is throwing, working on what they have to work on in the off-season, and he's looking at tapes. Every snap is important to this guy. He understands his position. He understands what he has to try and do.
Football teams are families, ... I had a sister who used to beat me up all the time, but she was still my sister.
It's not the hardest, but it's getting close.
They're running the ball well, and when you run the ball well, it really opens things up for you.
They realized what type of football team we are. We have to do the little things well. It doesn't look pretty all the time -- pretty doesn't win.

It was important that Mike got a chance to kick some field goals, I was praying he'd make that first one (from 48) because you guys would've been all over him.

They said 2-5 teams don't make the playoffs, either, but we did it,
Almost every one of these guys is going to end up playing in the NFL. You have to see them.
A lot of people look at the last preseason game as if it's not important. Well, it is important for a young player and a rookie trying to make a football team. Most teams have to cut down 18 or 15 players and bring eight of them back. So, I think it will be a very competitive game for the most part and I look forward to seeing these young guys play.
There are certain players that bring more to your team than just being a football player. If you're talking about Tony Richardson, he brings a whole lot to this team besides being a good football player. We're going to do everything we can to bring him back.
