Andy Reid Player Quotations

I didn't listen to the whole interview, obviously. I don't think any of us did. I take care of those things in-house. I don't take it out to the public and do that. You guys know that. That's the way I'll handle this. It'll be in-house business. I obviously will address the player and those people that I need to talk to, and we'll work this thing out.

He's a very smart player and is very familiar with our offensive system. He'll be a great back-up to Donovan.

Reggie is well deserving of his Hall of Fame induction. In my mind, he will go down as the greatest defensive end in NFL history. He was a great teammate and a fun player to coach. As good as a player as he was on the field, he was an even better person off the field. He left a lasting legacy, both in the NFL and in the community.

I take care of those things in-house. I obviously will address the player and those people I need to talk to and work this thing out.

I think it's important that there is change. Change can be good. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet a little bit, because sometimes it's a player that people like on your team and in your city. I think Bill's track record probably speaks for itself.

We normally do that if a player is playing his old team.

We have had success getting guys through here with this injury, ... I know it's magnified when it's your quarterback or a player of his magnitude. I understand how it becomes magnified, but we have a track record of being able to manage that injury, and we will see if we can't do the same. If he can't function at some point, we'll shut him down.

Tom has done an excellent job with our player personnel department over the last four years and we're fortunate to be able to keep him for the next several seasons. He is one of the hardest-working people I have ever met and is one of the best talent evaluators in the NFL.

We liked him as a defensive end coming out. He played linebacker in Pittsburgh and we asked him if he was interested in putting his hand down and playing defensive end again and he liked that. We thought he was a heck of a player coming out of Florida State.

As I said earlier in the week, Corey's a good player and his personality fits very well in our locker room. He's a talented player against the pass and the run. We're happy to take this step to keep him in Philadelphia.

Brian is a big part of this offense and a big part of this team as a representative on and off the football field. I'm really happy for Brian. It's a great thing for him and the team to have him signed to a long-term contract. I really believe both the player and the team benefit from each other.

T.O. came up big. That was a great play he made at the end for that touchdown. He's a great player who stepped up when we needed him.

Garcia is a guy who's had a lot of success in the National Football League. He knows how to win football games and he's been to the Pro Bowl multiple times. He's a very smart player and is very familiar with our offensive system. He'll be a great backup to Donovan.
