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.
building decisions hard last luxury stable team
We've been building this team to be a good, stable team for a long time. We didn't have that luxury the last time. We had to make hard decisions on the fly.
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.
hard position
We've got to get that quarterback position stabilized. If we don't get that stabilized, it's very hard to play around that.
good hard learn lesson ownership respect takes wrong
He's going to learn another lesson the hard way, but we like Tank; he's a good kid. Wrong place, wrong time. At least he takes ownership for what he did. We respect that about him.
hard ray string
It's just too hard to find a quarterback. When you think you've got one, if there was any ray of hope, we were going to play the string out.
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.
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.
