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 happy to be the coach here and I'm going to be the coach here, like I said before, and that's as far as I want to comment on it.
There's going to be great competition there at the punting spot. (Graham) has done a great job so far and now it's a matter of just transporting that on the field of play.
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.
I said we're going to put Brooksy in, ... He grabbed me and said: 'No, I can still be O.K. I'm all right.' I said, 'O.K.' I kind of knew where he was coming from. He couldn't throw it very far but he could throw it. He could do some things that we tried to do.
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.
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.
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 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.
I'm not listing his as anything yet because I don't know what the tests are. Once I know, I'll let everyone know. I don't hide injuries.
I'm not listing him as anything right now because I don't know what the tests are. I'm not a doctor. As soon as I know, I'll let you know.
I'm disappointed in the whole team, ... We didn't play the way we're capable of playing. We didn't play one of our better games. We had some opportunities and we didn't take advantage of them.
