asked games glad guy handled happen players position respect win won
We're very glad we have him. He's a guy that's won a lot of games in this league. Players respect him because of what he's done, how he's come in here and handled the position we've asked him to take. Obviously, if something should happen (to Pennington) we feel like he can go in the game and play and win for us.
cross embarrass guys
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.
beat clearly good guy pick player protection
Well, I don't know if he struggles. I think at times if we don't clearly pick up the protection or if we can't beat the guy that is guarding us. ... Sometimes they got a good player guarding us and they make the play.

No one called me up from the booth saying we should challenge it. That's what those guys are supposed to do. I didn't get a phone call.

When I got the job here in New York, there were a couple guys who were supposed to be the favorites. You don't worry about that. If you get your day in court, you go in there and talk to them.

The plan right now is for Brooks to be the starter. You've got to let the poor guy play, see what he can do.

I think what's going to help him, he's in with the first group, ... That's always settling for a quarterback, rather than playing with some guys that were probably some good high school, college players, and won't make your team. He had to do that for three years, survived it. Now he's going in with our first group.
college good guys help high playing rather scary settling survived teams three
I think that's what's going to help him. That's always settling for a quarterback, rather than the preseason when you're playing with some guys that probably were good high school, college players, and probably won't make your team. Teams are blitzing you. That's a scary moment. He had to do that for three years, survived it.

changed difficult guy people realize takes training veteran
I think you can see that he's getting the feel for it again. It takes a long time, even for a veteran guy like that. People don't realize that he changed systems, and that's very difficult without a training camp.
ability drafted ethic guy healthy heck stay work
He'll have a heck of a career, ... That's what you want. You drafted a guy you think will be here for 10, 12 years. If he can stay consistent, stay healthy he has the ability to do that. I know he has the mind-set and the work ethic to do that.
al consistency guy head knew running sure year
We talked. But I knew Al was the kind of guy who every year is going to be in the running to be a head coach. He's a guy who's primed to be a head coach. He's always going to be a candidate. You want to make sure you have some kind of consistency with your offense.
answered everybody guy locker standing sure team time touched touches
He's always answered the bell. When you come out of the locker room, he's always the guy that's standing out there before the team and making sure everybody touches everybody. And this is the first time he touched a guy when he wasn't in pads.
best coming guys home regardless sitting
He was the best guy, regardless of if he was sitting at home on the couch. When you look at all the other guys who were coming in here, he was the best guy.
