It's still about making a good decision. We all want to have the Reggie Bush's of the world on our football team, but it's not reality.

I'd love to have him as long as we can keep him. Some of those things are out of your control. In this case, I don't think that's the case. He's still got some life left in him. And we've had very good meetings with him.

He still has some good 'juice' left in him in my opinion. So you might as well use him. Don't let him take any (unused) carries with him to the Hall of Fame.

He started 64 games there during four years. He's one of those guys that doesn't come off the field. He will do whatever it takes to prepare for a game. He's like an extension of the coach out on the field.

If you're getting ready to play Vince Young, you know you've got a two-headed monster. He's proven to me that he can throw it, as well as be able to run around and make plays. He's one of the most exciting players to come out in recent memory. He hasn't really even tapped into some of the things I think he's going to be able to do at the next level.

I flew back for a weekend so I could catch at least one of my son's baseball tournaments this year. But the whole time, I was on the phone talking to coaches. I literally sat in the stands or in my car ... and was on the phone.

I knew Corey there. He started 64 games there during four years. He's one of those guys that doesn't come off the field.

I'm excited that we have worked out a deal. I'd been optimistic all along that we would be able to get this done.

It was a fluke deal. It wasn't anything that's a concern for us now; it was just a bad-luck injury.

I've had a couple of really good conversations with Marshall and I think he's very positive about having a couple of good years left in him. And that's very positive. The veteran leadership is critical. In this day and age, because of the salary cap, it's hard to have that. There aren't many people like Marshall in this business who can affect a team positively. Not just as a player but as a leader that can teach everyone else.
