He has fantastic long-ball, and ball reactions, ... Very few people can snatch a ball right out of the air like that quick. And then the other thing, he's got a great burst, and when you get him going downfield and put in the ball reaction, he can be running, I think, and doesn't even put his hands up until the last second because he has such confidence there in where the ball is. Even though he's a shorter receiver, I think he's very much a downfield threat because of that, and then, of course, he's got great speed.
He just has to do his part, ... He doesn't have to do any more than that. He directs the offense and gets us points. He doesn't have to try to make something happen by himself.
Gregg is a valuable and important member of our organization. This is a first step in recognizing his contributions and maintaining consistency among our coaches.
He is explosive. He can really run and he covers a lot of ground. You see when he gets matched up covering people, like tight ends and running backs, he does a very good job.
We think he has great flexibility for us.
When he played last year, personnel-wise we weren't as good as we are now.
That concerns me a lot, ... When we don't play smart football, that really concerns you.
Looking back to 5-6, we talked at that time that if we lost another game we'd be out. Trying to win five straight is a tough deal, but our guys seemed to understand what it would take. We went back to the basics.
Mark and other team members have worked cooperatively with us in renegotiations, approaching the matter like the veterans and team leaders that they are.
I think NASCAR makes it pretty clear that they're not going to put up with any of that, ... I might be saying something different five weeks from now, but right now I'm not worried about that stuff.
Hey, hey, ... No filming after 15 minutes. Get those cameras out of here.
But if they didn't think it was a joke, or if anybody took it the wrong way other than a joke, when you make a mistake like that, you've got to apologize. So I apologize to anybody that might have taken it the other way.
Any time you get into the playoffs, it's a huge deal.
Any time you don't play special teams, it hurts you. You've got to be a legit starter if you're going to do that.
