It is a long process. We’re going to get a great player. I don’t plan on picking here again.

That is great for the state of Texas. Growing up here I know that is always a big game. That will be exciting. They have a fine, fine football team. I know in Denver last...

Throughout a process like this you’re comparing how so and so did in this system when he came out or whatever. I think anything could happen. I think our options remain open.

We have a lot of homework to do between now and the draft.

This kid has continued to battle for this franchise. All you have to do is look around this league. It doesn’t matter who the quarterback is, if you don’t surround him with good people, and...

The number one thing you need to do to get things going is to have aspirations and to have a standard. My dream is to see this city win a championship someday.

That’s a tough-looking stretch. Playing five out of six on the road is unusual in this league.

I think anything could happen.

The football team’s been playing well . . . and we need to keep that momentum going as we go to the playoffs. It’s a great test for us. They’re a (fine) football team, that...

I like his versatility. Having a player you can line up all over the place presents a problem for the defense. He can return and catch and we all know he runs well.

I’m a David Carr guy.

That’s great for the state of Texas. Growing up here, I know that’s always a big game. It’ll be exciting.

To be honest, even though we’ll watch them work out [Sunday], the first thing I’m thinking is going back and watching tapes.

In this league, those four or five plays a year are the difference in a team being 8-8 and 12-4. I think this year, with this team, there is a confidence someone’s going to make...

I enjoyed it the kid put on a show. He did a great job.

I’ll find a way to make him successful because it’s in him. I’m a David Carr fan. I like the skills he has. There is no reason that David shouldn’t be a successful quarterback.

All I know right now is that we’re going to get a real good player. Nothing’s etched in stone. We’re still evaluating the prospects, and there’s work left to do.

He did a great job. I was real impressed. He showed a very strong arm, and he was accurate on the move. He looked like he could have thrown all day. He made every throw....

Reggie Bush is a very confident young man who believes in himself. Vince Young is a tremendous athlete. I think he’s going to be a great player. As coaches in this league, you look for...

It was a great feeling. It’s just too bad we came up short.

He’s been one of the best centers in the league when he’s been healthy. We’re not worried about his health. He brings us the kinds of things we’re looking for as far as toughness and...

There’s a tremendous upside to David Carr. There is a process in this business as a quarterback. You don’t just hop in there and be successful from the get-go. It takes time…

A lot of people talk about that. Everybody throws the ball a little differently.

Here’s a presence walking into your locker room and your meetings of success in this league, and that’s what we’re looking for. So it gives us another guy to show us how to do it.

I can’t tell you how much it means to a new staff to have a veteran like Steve. He was very unselfish last season when he moved from center to guard. We watched film of...

They know what they’re looking for. Regardless if Dan was here today or not, I had a job to do to convince them that I’m the right guy. Dan being in there, how big of...

He made every throw. He did everything you could ask a guy to do in this situation.

That story’s false. Mike hasn’t decided anything yet.

You always want to find what a guys does best. After that, maybe you add some things. But most guys have got to get some confidence they can do one job in this league before...

As an organization, you have to develop expectations. You develop those over a period of time. It’s the players and coaches you bring in. Everyone says they want to win, but not everyone is willing...

By restructuring his deal, that frees up cap space and agreeing to change positions, he has put us in position to improve on the line. Efforts like that will help us win.

He’s got tremendous ability, and we all know he’s a great kid. He’d be a joy to work with, and he’s got some weapons around him to make him better. Through a lot of hard...

His presence, if he sat here at this table, (you’d see) he’s a leader. And we felt our guys up front needed a leader to come in at the center position.

I know he’s a fine football player and he possesses everything you’re looking for in a quarterback to be successful in this league. Along with that, he has the desire to be as good as...

I don’t think he’ll have any problems getting his hands on the ball.

I’m going to make (Carr) successful, I’m confident of that. He’s a great kid. We have to go to work and get it done… I’m a fan of his. There is no reason he can’t...

Very impressed. The kid put on a show.

Oh, yeah, I was a worrier when I was a player. So I don’t really tell players not to worry. I tell them to study, to do the work and just play.

It’s easy for us to see (Flanagan) as a player, but Mike knew him as a person. So really Mike was, I want to say the closer in the deal. He was the one with...

Mike’s going to make a decision over the next three or four days whether he wants to come back and coach this season. I’m hoping to be the first one to know that, so I’ll...

Sacks will take their toll on anybody, but there are a lot of things that go into that. Sacks are tied to two (types of) people, the people up front and (the quarterback). (Carr) will...

I think there’s another step for him to take, and he took a big one last year.

He’s very competitive and got in an environment where everybody wanted to see him operate. He did a great job.

We’ll have to devise a way (to look at them). That’s maybe the hardest thing about it is getting them enough work to look at them, but they’re all doing special things that are making...

I can tell you that we’re definitely excited about the possibilities.

I look at what we do and what we teach and see him fitting into that very quickly. He can make plays off schedule and in this league, as a coach, you’re not calling the...

Sure, everybody wants ‘The Guy’ back there. That’s just the way it is. It’s the way it will always be.

He hasn’t thrown the ball exceptionally well in the last two weeks, but he’s thrown the ball well at times. And we’ve known since Day 1 that it’s the consistency we’ve got to find with...

One of the things that impresses me about him is the way his teammates gravitate to him, which I think is important for a player at that position. You could see a little of that...

Instead of assuming we’re OK here or there, we didn’t assume anything. We just stopped and started over in everything we do.
