Famous quotes by Joe Bugel:
"We need to get the ball to Cooley more, ... because he's a big-play receiver, especially down in the red area. But we haven't spent too much time in that area the last couple of weeks. We'd like to get down there more often, because how many 70- and 80-yard touchdowns are you going to throw each week? We'd like to say two or three, but, yeah, we need to get more people involved, especially Cooley."
"I marvel at the job he is doing,"
"We never want that. You can't afford to let the quarterback get hit in this league anymore. You see how many quarterbacks are down in the league right now. People are losing two at a time like the Jets, so it's a top priority, high priority. If we're not on top of our game, if we're not moving our feet and working our hands, a disaster can happen, because you're going against good players every week."
"He said: 'Could you kindly sit down for a minute?' ... I said, 'Why, am I sick?' He said, 'You're going to be.'"
"As soon as I approached him he said, 'Don't worry, I'll be okay,' ... He didn't want any sympathy. He wants you to think he won't miss a beat. Not many guys would be able to play, let alone practice."
"We didn't play our best ball, ... but we just played with a lot of heart."
"We couldn't be any more pleased with his progress, ... When he learns how to bend his knees and do the things that he's doing right now, he'll be perennial all-pro."
"Randy can talk any way he wants in the locker room because he can back up what he says. Randy is very serious on the field. The game's important to him. He's a very focused guy. I love Randy because he wants to be coached hard. Sometimes I'll be all over him like a cheap suit and he begs for more. He's very thick skinned. He wants to be constructively criticized."
"I think part of this size thing happened because of steroids, the need to be bigger and stronger to compete with guys on the stuff,"
"You know that's always going to be tough, because we're taking a running back and moving him up to a tight end position. He's coming on, but he's still light years away and it's going to be hard work to make it up in the next three weeks."
