confidence eulogy fans given ron sure team
I know a lot's being said about Rex, the eulogy of the team given that Rex is out. I want to make sure our fans know we're not here lamenting over Rex Grossman. It's unfortunate. ... We have a lot of confidence in our quarterbacks and (offensive coordinator) Ron Turner.
good partly
I'm very disappointed, partly because I know he's a good player.
leave talked
These things take time. There are always two sides, and we're working through it as we speak. We've talked about proposals, and I'll leave it at that.
evaluate obviously offense receiver running team unique value
That's a lot of money, but that's a unique offense. A receiver in that offense is obviously of more value than, maybe, a running back is. That's what each team has to do. They have to evaluate the positions.
agreement contract failure fair huge reach reasonable
The failure to reach an agreement on a fair and reasonable contract has been a huge disappointment.
best great last player position process sit year
I'm not going to sit here and tell you that I feel great about our quarterback situation, ... I'd be remiss to say something like that. I feel this, though, I feel we have the best player at that position playing, and that's very important. There were times last year we really didn't know that, and we had to go through a process during the season.
brand concerned fact given jerry maybe monitor
I'm probably more concerned about Jerry than anybody, just given the fact we had to monitor things with him. He did have surgery. Maybe he'll be brand new. We don't know that yet.
change direction obviously
It obviously would change our direction if we did, in fact, do that.
athletes looked skill tight took
It used to be you never took a tight end in the first round. But they're looked at as athletes now. They're looked at as a skill position.
excited next position step
It's the next step on the rung. It's an important one. We're real excited about being in a position to do it, but we've got to go out there and take it.
best john standing top
It's like standing on top of the John Hancock. This is the best we've been.
best compared continue develop good john kyle standing stay top
It's like standing on top of the John Hancock (building). Compared to where it's been, this is the best we've been. ... Rex has got to stay healthy. Brian's got to continue to play at his level. And Kyle has to continue to develop as well. It's a good situation. We like it.
competition create ends guys indictment last tight
It's not an indictment on the tight ends we have, the same guys we had last year. We want to create more competition at all positions. We just weren't able to get that done (drafting).
bought conviction everybody knew liked tim
Everybody liked John, but everyone said he was too slow. But when Tim had a conviction on a player, you knew it, and you bought into it.
