bay call raiders tampa
Raiders East? ... We'll call them the Raiders West. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, man.
best
If they are our best players, then I'm all for that,
agree call composed
I didn't agree with the call and I got out of character. I'm usually very composed on the sidelines. I was out of sorts.
adversity featured gets
I don't even think about that really. This guy's our front-line back. He's a featured back like any other featured back, and he's going to be used like one. If he gets tired, he comes out of the game. If adversity strikes, it strikes, but this guy's wired. This guy's infrastructure is one that allows him to play a lot. That's just the way he's programmed.
beaten concern damn jets talking win
I don't give a damn what we are, ... Donovan McNabb is questionable and they're talking about him having surgery. No, if the guy's able to play, you play. We've got to win games. We haven't beaten the Jets in 20 years. I've got a lot of concern with this game.
determine later lower whether
Matt's lower back flared up, ... We think he'll be OK. Whether or not he starts, we'll determine that later in the week.
agreement decisions difficult fans hoping obviously owners players reported similar sort sure teams terms waiting
Obviously what is being reported right now is an impasse. There are a lot of teams in similar straits that we are in, in terms of kind of waiting and hoping for the best. If no agreement is reached, I am sure there will be some very difficult decisions to be made. The players and the owners have to sort this thing out. It will take time. It is frustrating for, I think, fans and everyone.
drafting fit players system trying
Monte's been here and had his system in place for some time, ... It's a one-gap scheme, and they've been drafting players that fit it. We're trying to do that on offense.
address move needed people
I don't address that anymore. We did what needed to be done. People make mistakes. We move on. We forgive.
ball chance flag hit hoping threw
I am red-hot now on challenges. That was a big play. . . We didn't get a chance to really look at it, but we kind of threw that flag hoping the ball hit the ground.
certainly delivered struggle sure throughout
I am sure he is going to struggle throughout the season. He certainly delivered in his first game, having been out for two months.
ready remain until
Carnell just isn't ready to go. He will remain questionable until we see how he progresses.
happy proud
Certainly, in some ways, ... I'm very proud and happy for those guys.
battle earned jeff ryan spring
But we like Ryan Nece. Jeff Gooch and Ryan have had a real competitive battle this spring and summer, so Ryan will be the starter. He's earned that in Jeff's absence.
