One of the things I noticed more in this draft than in any recent drafts was the importance of the character issue. Players who had baggage, like Justice, fell much farther than his talent dictated....

To go to the next level, you have to be special, and I look for those special qualities in those players, those qualities that I think will translate to the NFL.

There’s a way you have to play the quarterback position in the NFL. Maybe I’m a little bit old school, but I think you have to play the game in the pocket with consistency.

But when you get into a situation where you can acquire a proven leader, a proven quality player, an unselfish player, a guy who taken a team to the Super Bowl, I think you do...

A labor strike will tear away a lot of the good things going for this league.

It could be a walk in the park, it could be a ride on your bicycle. It does not have to be an organized team activity… Be as creative as you want, but find a...

I love to see Favre playing his best football, and if his mind his right, he’ll probably have a fine season.

The city of Wildwood has been fantastic in helping us and supporting this event. This is a small way of the Soul saying thanks to our fans.

The Jets seem to be a franchise in freefall.

The challenge coaches face is replacing players they were counting on to be major pieces of a puzzle. In a lot of cases, there is just no way to make the necessary adjustments.

I think Philly is arguably the best sports town – football town – in America.

In my career, I played for four different teams in a lot of different systems, and it’s like learning another language.

I’ve addressed this before, and I’ll say it again: The league has to take a long, hard look at full-time officials. The officiating has been inconsistent all season long.

You learn by mistakes. When you make those mistakes, you try not to make them the third time or the second time. You learn from them. Sometimes you learn the hard way. In football, if...

We had a very exhaustive, extensive search for the guy that is going lead our football team over the next few years. We spent about two months in an in-depth interview process, and Bret came...

Positive thinking is the key to success in business, education, pro football, anything that you can mention. I go out there thinking that I’m going to complete every pass.

A little more movement of the defensive side of the ball, some rules that will be unnoticed, but a big rule will be allowing the jack linebacker to move out of the box sideline to...

We have a lot of rule changes. I am part of the competition committee. We spent a lot time evaluating the game, how do we make the game better for our fans.

The heartbeat of a football team is the quarterback position and I think everyone who has any intelligence about the game understands you must have consistency at that position to be a championship team.

As much as I like to be thoughtful and think things through in my decision making – I don’t like knee jerk decisions – but I’m not afraid to make decisions.

The simplest way to win in the National Football League is to knock out the starting quarterback. You know, throughout the years, history has proven if your number one quarterback goes down, your chances for...

As I learn more and more about the six-year extension of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, it’s obvious to me that NFL owners understood that they were going to get a new deal done at all...

I’m not a Saban guy, because I don’t like liars, and I think he lied. I think he lied to the Miami Dolphins and to the fans of Miami, and he left. And it’s pretty...

I’m a bit surprised that the Raiders turned to Art Shell to be their new head coach, not because Shell isn’t a good head coach – he had success before as the Raiders’ head coach...
