I think Seneca Wallace grew up a little bit in the preseason when we needed him to,
agents became best bit carolina defensive financial free front kenny lose offered office phenomenal
I thought Kenny was our best defensive back ... (but) we had 16 free agents and our front office was in a little bit of turmoil. Everyone has to know this: We didn't want to lose Ken Lucas. We wanted to keep Ken Lucas. And in free agency, when he became free, Carolina offered him just a phenomenal financial package. And he was gone.
action bit breaks good guys instincts michael seem time
Michael has good instincts and good breaks on the ball. He's not undisciplined. Some of those guys who seem to be where the action is all the time are a little bit undisciplined.
bit halftime matt shoulder
I told Matt at halftime that he had to shoulder the load. We always put a lot on his shoulders, but I told him that now he had to do a little bit more.

Our team now, even though we are fortunate to have a number of players go to the Pro Bowl, is really a team in the truest sense of the word.

Now our second season starts. Fortunately we have a first-round bye, so we can heal up a little bit and get ready to play in the playoffs.

He came into camp in the best condition of his life. He really did ... He's a little bit unlucky.
along bit coaches happen hard hoped players realize sooner
I did realize how hard it was. I think coaches realize it a little bit sooner than players do. I had hoped that we would have been able to do it a little sooner than we have done it, but you know things happen along the way.
bit question
You can take a little bit of a breath. There's no question about that.

Where I am impressed even more with him this year is his pass protection,

Wow, great story. That's an area we have to look at, but he certainly has done everything we have asked him to do.
