I mean, he's a little bit bigger, obviously, than Santana, so he's a little bit more physical. He had real good chemistry with the quarterback the year that he was our MVP, and I just think that's something that him and the quarterback have always had. They have just had that feel.
I always used to say this when we won, it's not easy going to the playoffs, ... I think now these guys are realizing that they've been on a little bit of a carpet ride. You kind of take that for granted.
I owe him that. I owe him that, his career and what he did for us this year. I think it is fitting for him to play a little bit and I am going to try and get that done for him.
He was chomping at the bit last night, so that's why we didn't put pads on him.
He was champing at the bit . . . so that's why we didn't put pads on him,

We haven't been very good on the road, and I don't know what's contributing to that. We've handled it the same way. We just haven't done the things that you have to do on the road to win. One of them is you've got to get the crowd out of it. We've always been behind, and that's a little bit of our problem, too.
He has not played a lot of football since the season was over with, and it's a little bit of a new offense, asking to do some things a little different. One thing about Chad, he's very, very hard on himself, and he'll bounce back.
I mean, John is on the phone with me for 20 minutes trying to explain what the guy was trying to say, ... He said it the wrong way, whatever. I believe Fox and I believe the kid.
It's something Wayne's going to have to determine with the doctors, ... He's going to have to make a decision on what he wants to do. It's always the player's decision at the end of the day. The medical people can advise people. Wayne's at the point of his career where he's going to take a long hard look at what he wants to do.
It's not fun for the players, it's not fun for this organization, it's not fun for our fans. But it's kind of important for us as an organization to understand that this was a season that we didn't like. But as I've said many times, it's not a condition. It's a season. A new season will start for us, the 2006 season.
That is what a playoff team looks like. There is a reason they go to the playoffs every year and have won three world championships. They got off to a fast start.
I'm going to be here, as far as I'm concerned. At this point right today, I'm going to be here.
I'm not going to bring anyone in here who's going to distract the football team and not give us a chance to win the championship. That's where it stands. I haven't talked to him.
