The way we're looking at it is some young guys will get an opportunity to play, ... They'll learn from this.
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.
Obviously, he had some opportunities. But he felt his best opportunity right now as a coach was to go to Washington. I wish him a lot of luck. He's done a great job here with our offense.
I think players in the league recognize that and he'll have a great opportunity this year.
You can see he really studies the game. He doesn't just walk out there and play. He waits for his opportunity to make the play and when you think he's not going to make the play, that's when he gets you.
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.
