You don't want mental errors-it's always the little things that beat you,
He's got to get his mind mentally ready to play Kansas City. We know one thing: When he is healthy, we win games.
His stamina is the best it's ever been. I think it's more consistent. He's not making mental errors and he's just playing hard. Before, James seemed good for about two or three plays, but now I think he knows that he's the starter and he's the guy.
We've been through a horrific season. It's not fun for the players, it's not fun for the organization. We just kept fighting. That's something to say about those men in that locker room.
If anybody can do it, I believe Chad can do it because of his mental toughness and what he feels he has to prove. He's a unique individual, he really is. I mean, he played with that thing torn up those last five or six games (in 2004) and we made the playoffs. If anybody can do it, Chad can do it. I'm pulling for him and I'm praying for him.
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 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.
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.
