Those guys are good, and the elements up in Chicago make them even more scary. I look at Chicago, Tampa and Indy all running the same basic defense, and it starts with four guys up front causing problems.
Laveranues and Rod didn't want to be here and be a part of what was going on, but now Mark has two guys that want to be here and will do anything to help him. Plus, Mark can anticipate the speed of the receivers better than Patrick can. He'll be able to get the ball out where Santana can run to it.
Guys there would never want to say they are rebuilding because they are competing. But the truth is they are totally retooling that operation.
I like the idea of these guys getting an opportunity. They have a chance to spearhead the next frontal attack of coaches.
During a routine physical, I asked my doctor about the signs indicating an enlarged prostate. He explained the symptoms, which basically matched what I was experiencing. During my checkup, he found that I did indeed have an enlarged prostate.
People remember what they were doing the night my leg was broken.
Believe me, those 20-some minutes make a difference. It's the difference between you falling asleep in the fourth quarter or being awake for the end of the game.
Everybody knows it takes 49 players to make a team, but without Big John this would not be a championship squad.
We're a family at ESPN. For me, to take this property and move it to Monday night is a great honor.
My biggest question wasn't about the organization, the work ethic, none of the things that have been part of Joe's life. My biggest question had to do with how he would adapt and adjust to calling plays in a different time in football. That really was one of the greatest challenges that he faced last year was, 'Can I run my offense as I knew it in this modern day and age of football'. And the answer was no.
Mike has grown a lot this year. Mike needs to be given a chance to create some stability and create some future. Right now, that organization lives day to day.
Martin seems to have a very, very good base of the quarterback position. I think the position looks like it's in pretty darn good hands.
Today's helmets are a lot different. The league has really worked hard to protect the players from head injuries.
Look, the magic age is not 35. It's all about your health. You first have to recognize what is so obvious this year was how unhealthy Mark was last year, and he never really said a lot about it. He was hurt, and he obviously compounded it by continuing to play. Now the legs are back, the arm strength is back.
