answered asked honestly league meeting questions
I answered all the questions that the league asked me honestly in the meeting on Tuesday,
challenge coach falls good head home pilot rough ship waters
But the good captain's got to pilot ship through the rough waters and get it to home port. That's my challenge as the head coach because it all falls on me.
couple doubt level settle
I don't have any doubt that he will play. What level and how long will he be able to play? Come out for a couple plays, let it settle down and then go back in?
center football played pushed second turned type winning

Let's talk about Chicago. It's Friday. It's been a long week, very emotionally drained. I hope you can appreciate that.

There are going to be factions in the building, ... There are guys that want Mooch to be there, and there are guys that might be happy he is gone.

The players right now, like the coaches, are searching for an identity, ... With new players on defense, they are trying to find a balance of what we want to do and what the players do best. I think that is still, unfortunately, a work in progress and will be for a number of weeks.
