I've very, very proud of the job he has done. He is stronger and better because of some of the tough things he had to go through. He and I kind of banged around a little bit, but we're in a good place now.
They all get about 25 snaps a game and they've been doing a nice job. For big guys inside, I think it's a good way to do it as long as the talent level there is close.
There's something to be said for the routine. I kept it like at home. They appear relaxed and under control. I have done a good job. We will see.
Our depth in the secondary was not good last year.
Our depth in the secondary, particularly with our nickel back and dime back coming in, was not good last year, ... I'm glad we have Kelly Herndon. One thing about Kelly, he'll battle you. He'll physically play the game with you, and that's what you need, what you want.
We went through all that craziness with dropping the ball -- not just Darrell, but all the receivers. Now we're catching balls. I don't have a good answer for you (as to why).
Bobby has been so good to start this year.
We've kind of been on his shoulders a good portion of this year.
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.
I think Matt's best years are still ahead of him. He has played very, very well this year. But he is just starting and, in my opinion, he should be good for a while and keep getting better.
We need Walter to feel real good. I always feel good when he feels good. I'm going to be careful with Walter.
I expected more from him. We had a nice visit. I think the world of him. I think he is a really good player. I set the bar very high for him. My expectation level for him is high. Any time he falls short of that, fair or not fair, I want to talk to him about it.
I enjoy working with him; he's a good guy,
Carolina offered him just a phenomenal financial package, and he was gone. Ken had developed his skills. We drafted him, we liked him, he had gotten better and better and better, and now he's playing at a certain level. That was a good signing by Carolina.
