We had so many injuries last year. I was kind of praying that we'd be much more in a good-health situation when we got to the regular season.
Brandon's super important to us and what we decided was it was probably best for the team and for him to put him on IR instead of rushing him back,
Everything in the world today happened to Tony, and he still finished fifth. I got to tell you, that's pretty miraculous right there.
Everything is on the table. We didn't have the production we wanted late in the year. But we did make a big jump. It's a matter of evaluating everything and seeing the ways that we can help ourselves get more production. It's a little bit strategy, and it's certainly personnel.
Being what we are, human beings, the natural tendency is that when everybody brags about you, they write good things, you kind of read about it and you back off a little bit. We couldn't play with them last time.
The thing about Ray is, he's not going to panic. He's been around forever. He was able to play tackle for us last year and now he's come in to play guard. He's a pretty unusual person. He's been given a great body, but with Ray, it's also about character.
The thing I want to emphasize is this: We haven't done one thing that anybody else can't do. We have certain rules in the league. Here's the cap, here's the numbers, here's what you can spend. So everybody in the league can do what we're doing. It's just that many choose not to.
I've appreciated how Patrick has handled the situation all year. It says a lot about him and his character.
Sometimes just getting out of the pocket and getting rid of the ball can be the biggest play of the game. As I've said many times, a quarterback's biggest play is when it's not there. Everyone is going to hit it when it's there. When it's not there, what do you do with it?
We feel pretty comfortable as a team. I don't think we're under pressure to take any one particular spot, to be truthful, right now. I think we can be pretty comfortable at 53, just taking the best athlete.
To me, life is so exciting. To me, life is always trying to beat someone in something competitive. It's kinda been my whole life.
We think that right now we got a core group of players that are extremely hard working. Now, how good we're going to be, how many games we're going to win? That remains to be seen.
We think somebody who's 24 years old is going to be playing here a long time.
There have been a number of times where this team could have said we're out of it and given up. It got to the point where our backs were against the wall and the players responded. That's says a lot about their character.
