11 Quotes by Mark Whipple

The only place I'm moving will be on the dance floor tonight. We'll think about that stuff later.

Omar Jacobs is a really talented young man. The only problem we might have with him is in my meeting room. We'll have more MAC updates than any other place in the country. So it will be interesting between Ben, Charlie and Omar.

I can go up to him and say, 'Hey, what are you seeing out there, or, did you see that?' ... We couldn't talk about those things last year. He knows personnel on the defensive side of the ball now. Last year, he would know Ray Lewis as the linebacker for the Ravens, but he wouldn't be sure where McAlister was. Now, he can see things. He knows our offense so much better, and that's allowed him to learn more about defenses and all their subtleties.

Going in, we didn't think Tommy was going to be able to play this week, (but) he looked pretty good. And Charlie has worked hard on the show team, and he looked good and did a good job.

He was good when he got here, and he's getting better all the time. I was fortunate to land in a tremendous situation.

It always helps to surround yourself with talent.

I wanted it to be the case -- and he ended up having a pretty good first season,

I know that when I went to work him out, (the Giants) put a hard rush on him. But Ben would have been good wherever he went. The difference is last year he had all he could handle just to know what we were doing. Last year we never could have done the game plan we had for Denver. Not even close.

I'll be out there next week, getting in a little vacation.
