We're fortunate to be able to add someone with Mike's knowledge and experience to our staff. (With the Bills), he instilled in his players a sense of belief in his system and those leadership skills will serve him well in his new role.
I'm very confident in him, ... Him being able to manage this situation with the first team out there is going to be a good experience for him. If this circumstance ever pops up in the future, it will be something that will serve him well.
There are good players at every spot. Including 16.
The players showed a lot of pride in their part to establish an identity we're trying to form here,
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 you have reached the pinnacle as a player of what you have always aspired for, what's your motivation? ... Some guys just work their tail off because they want to be good. It's important to them and their pride. Those guys have a better chance to succeed than the guy who did all of that to get here, and now all of a sudden the things that got him here don't seem to be important anymore.
When you go down and score the first time you have the ball, that sets the tempo for the game.
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.
We will establish a plan for it and I'm sure that he will make a commitment to the plan and do everything that he can to do it.
We would like to have all of our players here.
We're trying to get a deal that would satisfy him as well as work for us.
We're not making any changes at that position right now. This should not be an issue. We don't want it to be an issue. I know y'all are going to try to make it an issue.
We had a chance to stop them at the end of the game and they bang us with a big play right off the bat, ... Those things are disappointing. I was very proud, though, of the way our players fought back in the game.
The Raiders had a hard time with him. He wrecked the game, creating two turnovers that really iced the game. He's a fantastic player.
