best close guy help popular staff support sure team
He's a very popular guy on this team and well thought of. He's been here a long time, ... He's got a lot of close friends on the team and on the staff and in the organization. I'm sure he's getting a lot of support from people. It's very unfortunate. He's not the only one that's had to go through this and we just try to help him the best we can.
comments last met regarding situation
We met regarding his comments last year. The whole situation is done and over with,
ball finds giving guy matter reasons run special time
Giving the ball to a guy 25-to-30 times, if they are going to get 140 or 150 yards, there is going to be a long run in there somewhere, ... That's one of the reasons we keep giving the ball to the same guy because we think he is special and it's just a matter of time before he finds a way.
capable evaluation good
If that's an evaluation of what we're capable of doing, ... that's a good sign.

If that is an evaluation of what we are capable of doing, that's a good sign. But I live a very short-term life. We have a long way to go.

football forget guy hate hell incredible steve stop study system throw unique
He has incredible acceleration, stop-and-start quickness. You do not forget that sometimes that he can stop and throw that ball. There is not a guy like him that I have seen. I used to think Steve Young revolutionized the system of football that I always study with his unique scrambling ability. I hate to tell Steve Young this, but this guy is a hell of a lot faster.
ahead best close great trained
He has a lot of great things ahead of him. He's been trained by the best, and I think his best times are close ahead.
chance four good member played receiving run slot special split steady three training versatile
He's played pretty good in the two games. He's had a steady training camp, ... He's become a more versatile member of our receiving corps. He's not one-dimensional. He can play flanker, split end or in the slot in our three wides or four wides. I think he has a chance to be on our special teams. He's made a run at it.
assure comment difficult dimensions extension field further guys playing speculate start understand uneasy
I already said we're going to do all we can. You have to understand what the playing field is. With no extension in place, what are the dimensions of the field that we are playing on? So I can't really speculate or comment further than we will, hopefully, find out what the playing field is and I will assure everyone that we will do everything we can to keep those two guys here. Once again, it is a difficult time. A lot of us are uneasy. Some of us are uneasy to start with.
