looking
We still have to look. We were looking even before Jeb went down.
guys question
Those guys are exceptional, there's no question about it.
great high moral people system talk talks team tony value work
What you see with Tony is what you get. He doesn't just talk it and not do it. He talks it and does it. He's a great man. High moral character. High value system and he instills that in his team and the people that work with him.
As we go through the season, I think that's what he's going to try to do.
again everybody field goes onto proud saw
That's great. I think they are proud of that. Everybody who goes onto the field contributes something in some way, and you saw that again today.
field guy hands passing scout
As a scout you have to look at the hands so the guy doesn't come off the field when it's a passing situation.
good town
This is fun. The town is excited. That can only be a good thing.
almost best gets media picks stuff
Stuff still gets out. (The media) are able to predict, almost to the T, the first 15 picks (of the first round). But you try your best to keep it in-house.
across bought deserve drive enjoy job leaning line people playing rest road step team
The people who step across the line and get the job done deserve the credit. They enjoy playing with each other, they have each other's back, and they've really bought into the team concept. You drive down a road and see a road crew, two of them are working and the rest are leaning on their shovels? I lean on a shovel.
blow character collection fly guys nation resilience saw sum
I think the nation saw the resilience of this team, the character, the teamwork. We're not a collection of stars. We don't blow you away. We're really better than the sum of our parts. These guys play hard, they fly around, they give you everything they have.
likely
I was a likely target, ... It was really no big deal.
came certainly draft effect enamored height maybe numbers speed teams
It certainly had an effect on us. But some teams are so enamored by the numbers -- the height and the speed -- that maybe he was there (high on teams' draft boards) and then came off after the workout.
arguing labor midnight passion trade
It could be midnight and we're still arguing about a fifth-rounder. It's a labor of love. We all have passion for it and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
five obviously plays reasonably six
I think they have five or six plays that he could reasonably go out there and do. We'll see him on the returns. He's obviously in the crash-course mode.
