Professional sports are something they can't control.
Obviously we will talk about doing everything we can to make our sport as safe as possible.
It is a violent sport that we choose as men, and that we as parents allow our children to play.
Technique is everything and we play a contact sport.
At the end of the program, I tried to talk to the kids a little bit about life skills.
Coaches aren't concentrating enough of the technical part of this game and that could lead to injuries.
We missed a ton of tackles. I don't think we're pressing. But we didn't give the offense enough opportunities.
We felt there were many minorities that were worthy candidates. None went to minorities and that's an issue.
Even though most of them will never be professional athletes, they can always control who they are the rest of their lives.
There's no reason why I shouldn't. In 2005, I want to be the best safety in the game.
There's nothing like winning. At least you can go home for at least that week and feel half-decent about yourself.
We don't count Herman Edwards because that was a trade. None went to minorities and that's an issue. We felt like there were many minorities that were worthy candidates - Art Shell, Tim Lewis, Jimmy Raye. There were viable candidates who, for some reason or another, did not get the nod. We'll continue to keep pressing that envelope.
We have not been a good tackling team up front.
But that happens constantly, and then you get into a game and there are a thousand things going on and you have to make split-second decisions.
