Anytime a guy gets traded at midseason - a young player - it's surprising.
I miss high school football.
Julio Jones doesn't drop wide-open touchdown passes.
Simon Cowell is a pretty rough guy.
This stereotype as Marcus Mariota as a spread quarterback that just runs read options all the time, that's ridiculous.
In football, we tried each week to come up with the best game plan for every opponent. Some were tougher than others.
Some guys, nothing bothers them. Eli Manning is one of those players.
You have to be able to recognize defenses on your own in pro football. You can't look to the sideline and read some board. You've got to recognize the defense on your own, and then you've got to communicate to your offensive teammates what you want them to do.
Does the draft really matter? At the end of the day, at the end of your career, at the end of time, does it really matter?
I took a lot of pride, honestly, in hiring these young guys, that not only to become future head coaches, but I wanted young guys that could help me - guys that can coach, guys that could study, guys that loved it, that would do it for nothing. That's how I got into coaching with the 49ers when John McVay hired me.
We used to tell our receivers, 'If you want to run an inside breaking route, and you want to fight for yardage after the catch, you better be careful, because these defensive players, they're on the hunt.'
If ESPN ever kicked me out the door and I had to get back to coach, I have to stay on top of what's going on.
In the NFL, you've got to get to the Super Bowl, and you've got to win it. That's the evaluation we're all accountable to.
I love Olivier Vernon, and I wish he knew how much I appreciate him by just watching him.
I got kicked out of the league because I had a hard time sustaining at the quarterback position.
I just try to get the most out of every day and be prepared for anything.
I really get excited when we win. I get really upset when we don't, and I hope that still has a place in the NFL.
I'm not good at Blackberrys, cell phones, or packing.
You either have the charisma, the knowledge, the passion, the intelligence - or you don't.
Nobody talks about Shaq Thompson. I don't know what he is. He's like a nickel corner/linebacker.
