antithesis certain drafted mike needed playing third year
When we drafted Mike we were in a different scheme. We were the antithesis of what we are now. Now is that to exonerate him not playing because of the scheme? No. Part of it, he needed to get better at certain things, but he didn't. He's got the tools. We got into the third year and we didn't see a big advance.

We're going to look. We'll always look until we get that solved.

Tomlinson had to hit the ground running. That's not our situation.
best coaches conference easy good jumps people stand talent terms
We know some people down there who have been in that conference for a long time. They've had some pretty good players. Those coaches said, 'Jerry, he'll stand with the best of them in terms of his talent.' The talent was easy to see. That just jumps out at you.

Well look, but we're going with the hand that we dealt ourselves. We said that going in, and we're comfortable with it.
