I knew Corey there. He started 64 games there during four years. He's one of those guys that doesn't come off the field.
baseball car catch flew literally phone sat stands talking weekend
I flew back for a weekend so I could catch at least one of my son's baseball tournaments this year. But the whole time, I was on the phone talking to coaches. I literally sat in the stands or in my car ... and was on the phone.
achieved either sure
It's not the way you like to do it. But either way, we achieved the goal, and that was to make sure he was on our team.
great guys heard page
It was important to have guys that are on the same page with him. Those are guys that I've heard nothing but great things about.
felt miami
It's a way of life, and they're very adaptable. We felt like going to Miami was going to be temporary. We didn't know it was going to be this quick, though.

I told (Rams President for Football Operations) Jay (Zygmunt) that we needed to get someone today that can catch him.
baseball good inside middle strong
It's like in baseball being strong up the middle. You have inside guy, a middle linebacker and a safety. It's a pretty good place to start.

It was a fluke deal. It wasn't anything that's a concern for us now; it was just a bad-luck injury.

You don't want to hold the time away against him, but on the same side you have to know there's going to be time for him to get back into playing shape. It might be a good thing for a guy, too. He might come back with a little more fire to do it.
ability add area became defensive exciting fit obvious particular player playing prior sign trying veteran weekend
This is an exciting sign for us. This particular player became available, fortunately for us, just prior to the weekend (in) a big need area for us. He's going to fit a big part of what we're trying to get done here, and add some veteran leadership, as well as his obvious playing ability on the defensive front.

So we're going to be interviewing two or three candidates in the next four or five days and make sure they fit the requirements we have to coach our system and our defense.
good left life love meetings
I'd love to have him as long as we can keep him. Some of those things are out of your control. In this case, I don't think that's the case. He's still got some life left in him. And we've had very good meetings with him.
complete easily flashes force guarantee last reckoned ronnie saw yards year
You saw flashes last year. Ronnie got a little banged up at the end of the year and would've easily had 1,000 yards as a rookie. He's really a complete back and I think he could play every down. That guy's going to be a force to be reckoned with for years, I guarantee you that.
