Sometimes, players have never had things explained that way to them, and maybe that's why they see it a little bit different,
I think one of the things that really impressed me was the fact that he wanted to be here. It was kind of his dream to be able to come back in this state and play and maybe develop a legacy here. I think that's something that was important to him and something that was interesting to us.
We were very fortunate that we were able to sign a free agent who turned out to be even better than maybe we thought in his ability to snap and protect. From a business standpoint, it always makes sense to go with the younger guy.
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.
Maybe we can create some problems and issues for teams by doing that.
Maybe this guy (Denney) won't mess up twice in a year after he's done it in 10 years, ... But if we were to cut this guy, he would have gotten claimed. And if you watch him snap you would feel the same way. We're not going to second-guess anything that we did.
There are a lot of things we think Chris Chambers is capable of doing and to have success like this will help his confidence and maybe we'll continue to see some big-play potential there, that we've always thought existed.
When other players think it's not acceptable by their peers how they go about what they do, they will change more readily. If they don't change then, then maybe they are the wrong guys.
It's more difficult than it's ever been. It's possible, but I think it's a little less probable than maybe it was 20 years ago.
It looked like we were playing on the beach, ... Maybe Gus didn't have a lot of opportunities to do much.
Jason's thing to me is the speed that he can create very quickly. We've moved him around a little so that maybe we can create other problems, and that's been effective for us.

He's going to have to carry a little more than maybe he's ready for. We're very pleased with his development, but in the absence of Ricky, we're going to lean on him a little more than we would like to.
It was great that Ronnie Brown got untracked a little bit. We told him we were going to work him today. As the game wore on, it looked like he got a little better. Maybe that'll be a sign for us in the future.
