I don't think you rule anything out when you go into a draft, especially if you think there's someone there who you think you can go get. Would you be willing to trade or make a move? I don't think we're afraid to do that--last year we did it. And I wouldn't rule something like that out.
I like it that after that first Monday, it's all Sundays until the last Saturday, but I think they should have a rule that if you play on Monday night, you should get to play at home the next week.
There's no serious considerations for doing that. But I don't think you ever rule it out.
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'd love to have a rule where if you play on Monday night, you have to play at home the following Sunday. It's tough to operate on a short work week like that.
We always want to get him in the game plan. We always want to get him the ball. Last week against Dallas, he only had three catches, but they were all big. He was one of the keys to us offensively and we try to work hard to get him the ball.
With our free agents, we think we have the best place for them.
We would like to solve everything that we could on our football team in free agency. That way you go into the draft and you're freewheeling.
We saw him throw it, we saw him run with it, we saw him catch it, and certainly those are roles we want to expand. Our goal would be, with a guy like this, to try and get his hands on the ball.
We kept Mark out as a precautionary measure. He looked good this morning. We don't anticipate any problems.

We're our own worst enemy, ... I don't like the way we're playing. We turn the ball over and commit penalties. We're making too many mistakes and need to play smart to win football games we're supposed to win. That's why we're here. To win.
We had a couple of good talks. That's the only statement I want to make.
Trying to win five straight is a tough deal up here. Our backs have been against the wall for five weeks.
