It would be the first time he didn't show up for one since I've been here. The one thing about Curtis Martin, if he doesn't think he can help the football team, he won't do it. If he thinks he can help the football team then he will play.
I think they realized what type of football team we are,
Monday Night Football and the bubble-gum card ? that was kind of important being in the league if you could do that.
Football teams are families, ... I had a sister who used to beat me up all the time, but she was still my sister.
The next three or four teams we play, basically until our bye, have very good defenses. They're in the top-10 (defensively), so it could be ugly football for us.
I told John he doesn't have to make that decision. I'll make that decision for him, basically. And if he's not 100 percent, he really can't help the football team.
We're going to get a good football player. Last time I checked, I had a saying a couple of years ago that you play the game for one reason and one reason only. Right? That hasn't changed for me. You play to win.
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.
We'll get better as the year goes on, ... We've got a young, athletic front seven, and we play with a lot of energy and enthusiasm as a football team. I think that's what people will notice about us -- but hopefully they won't notice us for a while.
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.
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.

This is a chance for you to be a part of the National Football League. There's nothing like it in the world. It's a great league to be involved in, but it's very difficult to be in this league. So take advantage of your opportunity Thursday night.
It could be more ugly football for us.
