ball best certainly few last player utilize valuable whatever willing year
Up to the day he shuts it down, he's way too valuable a player to not have the ball in his hands. For whatever reason, last year was not his best year statistically. But I would certainly like to utilize the abilities he still has, if he's willing to put a few more years in.
address position stronger
We've got to address that, and make it a stronger position for us on offense.
address guy standpoint talking
Obviously, we've got to have a contingency plan, but I'm going from the standpoint that we're going to get it done. We'll address that if we have to. To me, that's down the road. ... We're talking about a guy that to me you don't replace.
bump fit good pool
I have a pool of candidates. It's got to be a good fit for the system. Every once in a while there's going to be a bump in the road.
guy sold
Obviously, I'm pretty sold that the guy can do it.
given indication
I think he is. He has never given me any indication that he's not.
ability believe commitment effort football good higher needs nice people position saying start sure talks value
I think that we are in good position to start up the talks again. We are going to make a commitment to try to get it done. Where I'm sure that there are other people who are saying that it will sure be nice to have him, his value to this organization is much higher than just his ability as a football player, believe me. We are going to make the effort that needs to be made to try and get it done.
defense odd
He is going to be our three-technique. We are going to play a 4-3 defense and get in and out of some 3-4 odd looks.
full hitting speak
We'll be hitting the bricks, so to speak (Saturday), full speed.
crossed fingers free guarantee keeping market obviously opinion team work
We're just keeping our fingers crossed that we can work everything out. I guarantee from our end, we're doing everything we can to make it happen. ... We're going to re-negotiate from a free agent's standpoint, and we're obviously going to be in my opinion the most competitive team in the market for our guy.
coach extension four games guys prepare takes whatever
He started 64 games there during four years. He's one of those guys that doesn't come off the field. He will do whatever it takes to prepare for a game. He's like an extension of the coach out on the field.
carries good hall left might
He still has some good 'juice' left in him in my opinion. So you might as well use him. Don't let him take any (unused) carries with him to the Hall of Fame.
along excited optimistic worked
I'm excited that we have worked out a deal. I'd been optimistic all along that we would be able to get this done.
exciting next players proven ready recent run throw
If you're getting ready to play Vince Young, you know you've got a two-headed monster. He's proven to me that he can throw it, as well as be able to run around and make plays. He's one of the most exciting players to come out in recent memory. He hasn't really even tapped into some of the things I think he's going to be able to do at the next level.
