I would think in all probability it would be someone else other than Matt because he hasn't been able to do it to this point.
I would say that if Jason Taylor had played in a 3-4 system somewhere, he would have been a Hall of Fame outside linebacker. There is no question about that based on the athletic ability the guy has. He's smart and he's got great instincts to learn things better than I ever hoped for. It gives us an opportunity to move him around and use him in a lot of different ways.
I would stop short of saying that Ronnie was 100 percent, but he did do everything in practice. Those decisions will be made on a day-to-day basis.
Just like in Scent of a Woman , you know, when the guy is up there and Al Pacino gives the speech to the headmaster -- give him a chance.
Just think of the consequences of those penalties. There were several third-down stops that gave them first downs with penalties. It's the consequences of it that everybody needs to understand.
Just the opposite. I think we should do a lot of stuff. I don't think going in the bag is going to help us. Because it doesn't matter what we do we still have to execute and do it with discipline. It's not what we're doing. It's how we're doing what we're doing. Getting conservative about it is not going to help us at all.

I talked to Ricky and Ricky still seems to be very, very interested in coming back.
I think it's a little bit about respect in terms of how we play -- how you play physically and how you compete,
I think it's something we need to evaluate. It seems the entire preseason whichever quarterback played second has played best.
It happens every week, so it is not fair to the players, in all honesty.
I think those are the kinds of decisions we would certainly like to have some input into. Our goal and focus is, number one, to respect the player. Ricky did an outstanding job for us on the field. Secondly, (we want to) respect the decision of the league, relative to what they felt it was necessary to do.
I think that's something we've always looked at as a two-starter position.
I think that was really probably the turning point of the game, that we could recapture the momentum and come right back and make a big play and score and keep them three scores behind,
