bit jump patient players sure until
Until we know for sure all that's out there, we're just not going to jump the gun, and we have to be a little bit more patient and make sure we know what players are out there.
certain draft investment irrelevant needed pick player sure terms time
We wanted to make sure any time we draft a player we've made an investment in him and we're going to play the investment out. We just needed to see certain things in terms of his progression, irrelevant of him being a first-round pick or a seventh-round pick.
bulk ends few fit gone good obviously round run second sure third tight
There probably could be two tight ends that go in the first round for sure one we know that. You're going to see probably a pretty good run in the second and obviously the third round. I think the bulk of them will be gone by then. And there will be a few if they fit with what you want scheme-wise that you may like in the fourth.
believe gonna guarantee investment opening percent sure
We made an investment in a player, and I believe you play your investments out. Is that 100 percent sure he's gonna be on our team's opening day roster? I can't guarantee that, either.

He just didn't progress the way we thought he would. That's the short of it. I'm sure he's as disappointed as we are.
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.
agent good problems relationship since tampa
We've always had good working relationship when I was in Tampa and since we've been here I find him to be a very, very good agent and (have) no problems with him at all.
antithesis certain drafted mike needed playing third year
When we drafted Mike we were in a different scheme. We were the antithesis of what we are now. Now is that to exonerate him not playing because of the scheme? No. Part of it, he needed to get better at certain things, but he didn't. He's got the tools. We got into the third year and we didn't see a big advance.
until
We're going to look. We'll always look until we get that solved.
possible situation
We're going to look at every possible situation at that position. Always have, always will. We've got to get it right. We know that.
anybody
We're going to look at anybody that's out there.
bring offensive takes time
Usually, it takes two years for an offensive lineman to develop. So this would be the time to bring one in.
history position rookies
We feel the history of his position for rookies bodes well.
draft history learning partly position rookie
We feel that the history of (Benson's) position as a rookie bodes well (for learning fast), and that was partly why we did what we did on draft day, too.
