I think they have the foundation of a really good-looking football team. His (West's) first (offensive) unit is pretty good all the way around ... receivers, running backs, line, quarterback. I think the Tigers should be a fun football team to watch, they really should.
For me, Monday night still is the big night for football in the NFL. It's the last football game of the week and it's a showcase for all the players.
He's away from the game for 12 years and we expect him literally to walk on water his first time back.
He's playing the best football now. Maybe he doesn't get the records, maybe he doesn't have the yards or have the most touchdown passes, but from a game operational standpoint, I think Tom Brady throws the ball as well as anybody in football, manages the game as well as anybody in football, and has three rings on his fingers in the last four years, and he's a winner.

It's really bittersweet. It's been such a privilege to work with Mike and Paul all these years, but I'm really looking forward to working with Al, too.
I played one game, and one snap in the shotgun. I'm the only quarterback that ever did that for him. I tried to get him to incorporate it into our offense back then, so it took him eight more years and 12 years away from the game and one (year) back to realize maybe he should do it.
I like the idea of these guys getting an opportunity. They have a chance to spearhead the next frontal attack of coaches.
I worked hard. I worked late. I went in early. I did everything I could to gain an advantage.
Kirk Cousins has played much better at the quarterback position than Robert Griffin III has,
