I would have liked to determine it a month ago or two weeks ago. I would like to determine it. I don't have a problem with determining it. We are trying to determine it. But we don't want to upset the apple cart of what we are trying to accomplish with the development of both of these players by trying to determine something that is not ready to be determined.
I would be a little disappointed for our players (if a blackout occurs). These guys have worked hard, and we have done a lot to try to make the team better.
I was pleased with the way Sage played,
If we don't have an agreement this year, obviously it's going to affect the cap in an adverse way in terms of what's available to spend on players.
If we're going to do that, we should have had a press conference for the other three guys we signed, too. So how do we choose who has a press conference and who doesn't?
If we just didn't do that kind of stuff, we wouldn't have to worry about it.
If we can get it worked out, maybe he will have the opportunity to play. If he can't, we will have his services later.
If we can get all of the guys to play as well as they are capable of playing, we could have a good football team,
I don't know. He doesn't know. Nobody knows.
I don't feel like we have enough depth. Lance has certainly made a lot of improvement. He is a veteran player that's starting to feel more comfortable in the system. He did make a couple of good plays in this game.
I don't know that tradition has ever won or lost a game. As far as I can tell, the field they have up there is 53 yards wide and 100 yards deep. They'll play 11. We'll play 11. The game will be decided on who does the best job of blocking and tackling and dominating the guys they play against.
I don't know, you should ask Sam that. I can't answer that. I don't think that we are doing anything differently than anybody else does, though.
I don't care if you are a coach or player, you have family and personal issues and those things that are of concern. Everybody's safety is of concern. I have a great appreciation for the players and what they were able to do today to stay focused on the things that we wanted to try to get accomplished.
Maybe we can create some problems and issues for teams by doing that.
