How quickly can you tell if a young player is a football player if he thinks about it because it seems like at the Combine they’re all saying the right thing and it’s the job. How quickly does it take?
Football is a game that will take you to your limits physically. When I see a guy that has that dawg in him and can get knocked down but come right back and give 100% effort then I know we got us a BALLER!
How valuable is the self-scouting process that you go through during the Bye Week? There's the physical piece, but also that component, as well.
You need players that have the physical ability to execute your game plan. Thats what we went to get in the draft and offseason.
When the schedules were released this past offseason, analysts said you had one of the easier schedules they've seen. Do you see it that way as well?
We dont have any control over who we play so we try not to worry about the degree of difficulty.
