He's the guy who really doesn't say too much during the course of the game. I really wasn't for sure until afterwards the doctors told me.
He's a physical guy, who is a good special teams player. He's a good guy and a good athlete and we'll get a chance to see what he can do, for a few days at least.
You don't think a guy like that is going to become available, certainly without compensation. It's really kind of staggering.
They felt they can only give you one helmet, because unlike offence with the quarterback, it's difficult to monitor which helmets are in the game (defensively). Or if the guy gets hurt, a team would be without it and at a disadvantage.
I can't very well preach unity and tell the guys we're all in this together and everyone's important, then cut a guy because we might improve by one percent if we bring in someone else.
We wanted guys who had been productive in college, and we made it a point to pick performance over potential.
Once we had become locked in on a schedule, he (Coach Denny Green) often created a disruption (artificial adversity) to that schedule just to see how guys would respond.
He's probably the hardest-working guy I've been around who has great ability. Overachievers work hard because they have to. Peyton has rare talent, but chooses to push himself like he doesn't.
