al consistency guy head knew running sure year
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.
along brought dealing knew ready throw
We knew going in the only way he was going to get ready to play was he had to play. When you're dealing with something like that, did we think he was going to be 100 percent? No. But he had to throw the ball. He wanted to do it. We thought we brought him along right.

ability athletic felt good great guy knew liked player three watched
When we first watched him in college, we knew he was an athletic guy who could make plays. We liked his ability to play in space. We always felt that that he was getting better and better, so we liked him from the beginning. (He's) become a pretty great player for us, a good sub guy that really can play all three (linebacker) positions.

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.
bit chemistry good year
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.
fun season start understand
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.
