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.
This is something that is extremely hard, ... You don't like doing this. I don't. Sometimes you don't chart the circumstances or what happens - it just happens. Certainly it wasn't the plan I had going in, but sometimes plans change, and I think you do the best you can in dealing with it.

I told our players I couldn't be prouder of them. We fought extremely hard all year. I really appreciate them taking me with them.
I've been proud of our guys, the way they fight. We fight extremely hard.
Adam's workouts and routines are kind of legendary. This is probably one of the best trained athletes on the league. He's extremely serious about football. We never talked any business until he felt comfortable about seeing how he would fit in with us.
Last year we saw rookies play extremely well at quarterback, and they beat us; Pittsburgh beat us soundly.
The good thing about it is the cast covers his thumb but your fingers are out, ... He played extremely well with one last week and I asked him, 'Hey, does it bother you?' And he said, 'Not really.' So that's good.
If he didn't have the calf situation, he would have practiced, ... He played extremely well. . . . The game was very physical and he got some hits. Quarterback-wise, the odds that we can go through the year like that and keep the guy healthy. . . . I hope we can keep him healthy.

He's tough-minded. He's got a tough, disciplined way of doing things. I know from going against him out here, it's extremely tough. You've got to be ready for a little of everything. It's a scheme I admire. You've got to have a lot of admiration for what they did last year. A new staff, third best in the league stat-wise, and we didn't do what we should do on offense to support him.

We're going to try a couple of other things this week,
We're going to go with two kickers until John is healthy, and then we'll make a decision, ... We are thin at some other positions, but we don't have a choice at this point.
