This is on Feeley. You'll learn a lot about the guy. Two quotes that stuck out to me is Konrad's:
IV. Fullback Rob Konrad: "I'm the last player on offense to play here with [Dan Marino], and his demeanor in the huddle reminds me a little of Dan in the huddle. A little bit of a gamer, a cowboy. He won't always make the read against a cover-two [defense], like Dan, but he can make the play work. I'm not saying he's Dan, of course. But what [Feeley] can do is when a play breaks down sling the ball in there, where it needs to go. Dan used to come to the huddle sometimes and say, `Get ready, you're getting the ball' before he saw the defense. He just knew. And he'd get you it."
and McMichaels:
V. Tight end Randy McMichael: "Last week, when A.J. was put in the game he came up to me and said, `Get ready, I'm coming to you.' He did, too."

This is on Gordon, not as great, but good stuff. Two notable quotes are :
Who is Lamar Gordon?
Moutry [a close freind] doesn't think the NFL has any clue yet, because Gordon hasn't really been healthy until now, a month after ankle surgery. Last Saturday, Moutry saw the explosion he hasn't seen since college, notably on two runs -- one when Gordon was hit in the backfield and lunged forward for a first down and another when he sidestepped two defenders to make a big loss a small one.
"What you saw last week was just a glimpse," Moutry promises. "He will get to the line faster than Ricky did. Once the linemen make that adjustment, he doesn't need a big hole."
and:
Can he fill the one left by Williams? If he is a "young Curtis Martin," as Moutry suggests, that would do fine. Gordon says there were some "ugly" moments in practice last week as he adjusted to coaching points and his linemen. But the adjustment to being The Man should be easier after two awkward seasons as a spot starter and occasional fullback.

If our Fin Fan hopes came true, these guys will be together a while. Let's hope. :D
