The big problem with them is their offensive line and their zone scheme. They do an awfully good job with it. Everybody has a few zone scheme running plays. We do. But they build their offense on that. They get you stretched, reaching out, and then they shove you out and cut right back underneath you. They do a good job of cutting the linebackers off.

It was bothering him a little bit. And on that turf in there it's harder than being on the natural grass. It was precautionary and it wasn't game day.

It's better than natural grass.

I hand drew all of them with a template.

It bugs the hell out of me. Bugs the hell out of me.

That's 4.3 miles with the ball under your arm. We brought him here with great hope and respect but no way could you anticipate him doing what he's done.

I don't have any information. In fact, sometimes I get upset because I don't have more information. But the information and communication system is in the right hands.

I'm very, very concerned. I've been trying all afternoon to get information. I haven't heard from anybody.

I feel a little bit better than I did last night about our injury situation.

He's got good hands. He's got a feel for the game. To my knowledge, he's never been the starter. That's the difference now, he is the starter. He is our guy. We expect him to step up and play like that athlete that you all saw out there.

I thought it might be popped, a tear where his muscle rolled up, that tissue, muscle tissue rolled up. But that did not happen.

I could just see, from watching practice against our offense, it was going to be a much better defense. Did I anticipate shutting out the Jets No. But I thought we could slow them down a bit because we can all run.

I might do it. I thought about it last week.

I thought it would be tough to run on these guys like we have because they've improved their down four (linemen). They had more than just three different guys than they had last year.

I don't know what I'll do. I really don't have any plans. I haven't even thought about ordering a moving van.

Conversely, when you lose a football game and you fly home and look at it, it's not as bad as you thought it was. We know we aren't there yet. But we all feel we have the talent here to continue to get better.

It's so early in the season. They're going to win some games like they lost tonight, and once they start winning those, they'll probably win some more. All the stuff they've done will pay off for them sometimes it just takes a little time.

You can see why they were in the Super Bowl last year. We played with them a long time, but not long enough.

You can see why they're in the Super Bowl. We could play with them for a long time but not long enough to beat them.

Every time we got something going, we had penalties. You can overcome the five-yard penalties. But personal fouls and holding penalties

Some people see Priest going out there on Saturday for the first time and say, 'What's he doing' ... He's poised to have a great season.

It's about time that assistant coaches got paid like that. Those owners that are complaining could pay their assistants like that, but they don't. The National Football League is supposed to be the best of the best. If you can't compete with the best of the best, maybe you shouldn't be in it.

That's his best game of the year, ... and he's coming on at the right time.

It's the right time for me to go. It's the right time for me to leave the Chiefs. They don't want a guy where every year they say 'Is he going to be here' It's just not fair.

I don't want to put so much pressure on him right now as a young player. He will become one of the great running backs in the National Football League just like Priest Holmes did. You become that. But each time he steps on the field he adds credibility to those kinds of credentials.
