actuality best both looks might move parties people player talked
It sounded like it was swift, but really in actuality it was talked about probably before that. People had anticipated something like that might happen. I think sometimes it looks that way, but sometimes that's best for the organization and the player so both parties can move on.

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.

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.

We've brought two players who bring a physical presence to our defense. They'll put their face masks on people and will hit 'em.

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.

Some people get enamored with a person's lifestyle,

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.
figure protect
We have to figure out how to protect these guys.
again ball defense five send turned turning
We turned the ball over five times. That's one (reason). Two, I wasn't going to put that quarterback in harm's way any longer. Three, I wasn't going to send out our defense again by turning the ball over. That's my decision. That's what you do for your team.

When it first got started it was really the thing to be on if you were a player. I can remember when I first came in; you were excited about Monday night. It was a special deal and I think it still is.
ball behind close game good played ran running runs sign
We got our running game going a little bit, so that's a good sign for us. We ran the ball pretty good. Curtis had a really good day. He made some big runs for us, but we got behind and played that way. We could never close the gap.

We're going to try to fit him with a brace and see where he's at.

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.
