He’s moved the team for all three preseason games, … We’re fine with him.

We are not going to pick a linebacker just to pick a linebacker. That is just not going to happen. We are going to pick a player that is decidedly higher rated. We have options.

I think it’s a very solid and deep draft. I really think the top of it is very interesting.

There is a lot more dead money now. You’re basically married to a player for at least two or three years.

He’s just a relentless ‘heart’ player with a lot of talent.

You had a player that wants to be here, agents that were dealmakers and you had a club that wants to keep the player, … When you have all those things working for you, you...

You worry because you don’t know how it’s going to affect them when it comes down to playing, … This is still a game where you’re going to get hit in the mouth every play,...

Young quarterbacks are going to be like this. Do I think he has to play better? Yeah. As we go down the stretch, we’re going to play better teams, and the games are all going...

You have to proceed as if you are not going to have him. That’s the only way you can proceed. We signed two veteran corners, obviously, to protect ourselves. But I think when you get...

Waiting for 25 can be frustrating at times, but you are there for the right reason. You just hope you are even further down every year.

He’s just got that quality, you think you have him trapped, and he changes direction from a dead stop and he’s gone.

I don’t have to talk to Eli. If he were another type of personality, it would be different. But he’s as poised a quarterback as you could want, and he handles every situation in an...

There was a receiver picked the year his brother came out. I heard, ‘We picked the bigger receiver.’ But he wasn’t the better receiver. It is speed that kills. I’m not worried about (size).

We had more depth on the offensive line this year than ever, and we wanted to keep him.

I was entrusted with the legacy of the franchise. I simply picked the best player in the country. If the Baltimore franchise was good enough for John Unitas, the greatest quarterback in the history of...

I was overwhelmed with him. Not only his story but how he told it. He’s such a thoughtful, intellectual, moving person.

If he’s there when we pick, we’ll take Reggie Bush.

Destiny owes me one,

He’s a good person, he has integrity and he’s honest. He’s not going to try to con anybody. Once they realized the quality of person he was, they’d want to play for him.

It has been a long time since I viewed the top of the draft with more interest than this year. It is going to be a fascinating process to watch.

Any team that blows the lead that we blew in the fourth quarter has no excuses, … I don’t want to hear about an official’s call, O.K.? We have no complaints.

He is such a cornerstone player and he’s such a great representative, … He’s a leader. He has so much class…. And he’s still productive. It’s not like we’re just giving him a reward for...

It’s great to make the playoffs, but it’s important for us to win the division and get a home game in the postseason. We have it in our hands and it will be disappointing if...

You just have to do what’s best for the franchise. I don’t get involved with personalities. But I have a great deal of respect for him and gratitude for him. He took us to the...

I like this football team. I think we’ve got a personality. I think it’s got something to it. Now we’ve just got to go and prove it. But I like this football team.

We’re in pretty good shape. They’re going to give us a cap number and we’ll be ready for it. You always prepare for a worst case, no matter what the situation. You never want to...

I was overwhelmed not only with his story but by the way he told it. You could have heard a pin drop in that room when he finished.

You know, … it all happened so fast that I didn’t realize it at the time. But you’re right. It’s amazing. It’s one of those things you’ll remember for a long time.

[Coughlin] not only had to make changes on the run [against Philadelphia], but he had to prepare to play a powerful football team in the Chiefs the next week. That’s just not easy to do.

It’s all football this time of year.

Lewis was different because he not only was a starter here a year ago, he had been here since the 2000 season. When someone like that walks back into your locker room, they’re popular, they’re...

The fans are hooting and hollering, there are signs all over the place and chants against Elway, … We knock him out of the game, and people are going crazy.

New York isn’t like other places. The expectations here are higher than anywhere else. You have to know that coming in.

Teams that dominated, that won multiple Super Bowls, all had great quarterbacks.

The biggest thing about him, even last year, he doesn’t throw the ball up for grabs. He doesn’t take a lot of sacks when he shouldn’t.

Date of birth is very important to us. In a sport that’s as physically taxing as ours, the correct date of birth is critical, not only in determining the physical maturity and growth potential of...

Brandon has played on winning teams his whole career, including the New York Giants. He’s a winner and a great teammate and it’s terrific to have him back.

I knew we had one more play to make,

They seemed like opposites, but Mr. Mara always had a twinkle in his eye when he was around Jeremy.

He’s a two-way shot. If we get him in the weight room and get him down to 275, he could be a tight end. If he gets even bigger than he is now, he can...

I would never have traded him. I would have waited until the next draft if need be and found out how good a baseball player he was.

I think he’s going to be a terrific quarterback, … He hasn’t even played 16 games. He’s getting better all the time. He has enormous talent and poise. I’m happy this franchise will have him...

He’s very intelligent, and intelligent people have open minds. He’s in a tough market, and he can’t be thin-skinned about this thing. He’s going to take his shots like we all do. It’s a matter...

There was never any doubt in my mind, from the day he got here, that he was going to be a head coach and be a successful one.

We all had the unanimous opinion that he [Manning] was a special quarterback. We all felt this was a quarterback you wait for for a long time.

The signing of Will Demps should complete the [free agency] phase of our rebuilding the defensive secondary. This is a four-year starter on a very competitive defensive team in Baltimore. He’s very athletic and can...

He would have loved that goal-line stand to preserve the shutout,

In 33 years in the National Football League, I don’t know that I loved working with or knowing anyone more than Roosevelt Brown. The world knows he was a great player. But few know what...

You have to keep trying to upgrade.

I think he’s got a chance. We’re not doing this as a gimmick. There was competition to get him. I’m pleased we got him.
