lucky maybe
With Ruben, that was an aberration. Maybe we got a little lucky there.
ball colleges effects less maybe position running says seeing throwing truth
Maybe what it all says is that with colleges throwing the ball so much, the running back position has become less important. There's some truth to that, and maybe we're seeing the effects of it in the draft.
brand foremost healthy jerry leading life maybe normal obviously
Maybe he'll be brand new; we don't know yet. The No. 1 thing is we want to make sure, as he does, that he's healthy and can go on leading a normal life after football. That is first and foremost with his agent, with Jerry and obviously with us.
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.
coached college filter football identify maybe objective played
There wasn't a filter that a lot of us who maybe coached or played college football identify with. Maybe we aren't as objective as we should be.
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.
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.
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.
