You put a real tough tight end with good hands in the hash area, and there won't be anyone who can cover him. Then you really control the passing game.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's always a danger when you've got a great quarterback that throws the ball well, that scrambles well. You may push him into his asset. You may force him to do what he does best. So you've got to be able to throw curveballs and stop the pass as much as stop the run.
To win those big games you're going to have to complete some third-down passes, you're going to have to be able to get some explosive games in the passing game.
I have always passed the ball and worked on that part of my game.
This quarterback Weeden can drive the ball down field. He's a thing of beauty on throwing a football. His passing motion and his arm, frankly, you won't see a more gifted passer, power, accuracy, the entire aspect of it.
There is no defense against a perfect pass. I can throw the perfect pass.
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.
I think you always try to put the offense in the best position to make good plays, which usually requires us to move multiple people around and give them an opportunity to impact a game in a lot of different ways.
The receivers are an integral part of the passing game.
You can't put a running back in there and have him not know who to pick up. You can't get your quarterback hit.
That's something a point guard can always work on, with keeping his dribble alive a little better. It's so important.
