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.
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).
couple good last players sundays training truly
I said this really the last couple years: Saturdays look like Sundays now, and that's good for football. They truly are training the players the way we want to use them on Sundays.
last
I don't know if it's really that much different than last year,
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.
jerry looking position
With Jerry potentially not being with us, we'll be looking at that position very hard.
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.

It would be something you'd want to think about. We did it in Tampa a couple times. It would be something we'd entertain.
guy impressive
Probably the most impressive guy who I've interviewed.
areas experience gained game improve needs rookie
Orton's got to take another step. He needs to take the experience that he gained as a rookie and take another step. There are areas of his game that he has to improve before I feel really comfortable with him.
job period safeguard
We like what we have, but we've got to see it over a period of time. We haven't been able to do that. So my job is to safeguard the position.
best everybody guy looks mind mindful obvious though
Even though there's a guy out there that looks obvious to everybody here, it's not necessarily in his mind his best option. We have to be mindful of that, as well.
behind everybody featured money role saw stood
Everybody else saw him as a role back. But we saw him as a featured back and our money stood behind that assessment.
certainly fits quality rewards time whether wonder worth
At the end of the day when you're making any decision, you wonder whether the rewards are worth the risk. And in this case, they certainly were. We got a quality quarterback that really fits into what we do offensively and makes us better. And that's our job. We feel good. Now time will tell.
