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.
best kidding line player shotgun throw
I used to be a player and I know that feeling. I could see it on their faces. You do what's best for the team. I'm not going to put the quarterback in harm's way and let him go back there and line up in shotgun and look all pretty and try to throw passes. You'd get him killed. Are you kidding me? For what? It's ridiculous.
left players playing plus side tackle
We like what he's done. He makes some errors, but all young players make some errors. The thing about him is that he is playing the left side and that's big when you can find a left tackle that you feel can play the position. That's a plus for us.
great league opportunity players recognize
I think players in the league recognize that and he'll have a great opportunity this year.
good league player
He's a good player and he'll play in this league with another team.
performance player standard
If a performance of a player is not up to the standard that's acceptable, then there will be some changes, ... It could be during the game.
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.
hurt mistakes obviously players trying
Obviously those players aren't trying to do it on purpose, ... but those mistakes hurt you.
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.
critical decision hold players stick
It's kind of critical once you make this decision that you stick with it. You know, you can't keep changing. You have to give the players something to hold on to.
ability affect banned buying counter either guys hard individual job player shows sudden test
It's a performance-based business, and it's hard for a player to all of a sudden think that something he's buying over the counter could be banned and affect his ability to play and get the job done, ... It's up to the individual player to either say, 'You know what? I'm not doing it,' or 'I'm going to take a chance. If they test me, I won't be one of the guys that it shows up on.'
best looking players
We did it looking at what was best for the players and best for the team.
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.
fast good guys hold job moving players supposed today took
We have to have a different mind-set - that was established today in our meetings, ... I think our players took hold of it and did a good job of practicing. It was a pretty fast practice, guys moving around where they were supposed to go.
