asked fact given hard perfect position positions problem risky terms throughout tight
I think the tight end position is probably one of the risky positions in terms of the durability, but that's given the fact of what they're asked to do. It's very hard, very hard to find the perfect tight end and durability is a problem throughout the league. Not just with our team, but a lot of teams.
dedication doubts given good horrific injury obviously situation watch work
Given Marc's situation he had a horrific (knee) injury for really a good 2½ years, to watch his dedication and his work ethic, there were doubts he would ever play again. So getting him back and going and then obviously having to do what we did (Tuesday) was very, very tough.
dedication ethic given good half horrific watch work
Given Marc's situation-he had a horrific injury-for really a good two and a half years, to watch his dedication and his work ethic ... having to do what we did was very, very tough.
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.
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.
both few guys happy looked somehow
There are always a few guys that you think are going to get drafted, and somehow they don't. They looked at our situation, and they jumped on it. We were real happy to get both of them signed.
good
We do have a plan. But we have a good nucleus, so we're going to be very selective.
corner seem
We would like to get another corner in here. It doesn't seem like you can have too many corners.
pressure putting
We're not putting any pressure on him to do what LaDainian Tomlinson did. We're going to wean him into the offense.
couple eight guys picks prepared seven work
We had a couple guys in mind. Unfortunately it didn't work out. One went about seven or eight picks before we were prepared to take him.
best competition create hard
We want to create the best competition we can, really, at every position, but we're going to look hard at the punter this year.
players value valued willing
To get valued players you have to be willing to give value.
lucky maybe
With Ruben, that was an aberration. Maybe we got a little lucky there.
build contingent dealt football good hand obviously team
We're going in with the hand we dealt ourselves. We said that going in and we're comfortable with it. We feel good about our football team. If we're contingent on just one player, then obviously we didn't build this team to win.
