(On what separated Sage Rosenfels apart from the rest of the quarterbacks that they worked out)- "He just threw it better...he threw it better. I thought mentally he was good but threw it better."

(On if it's encouraging that his running game is averaging 12 yards more than last season)- "Yeah, it's been encouraging. We've left a lot of yards on the field too. I think there's been some plays that have been called back that were big plays and I think there's been some runs that I thought coulda, shoulda, woulda...I mean a block here or a block there. But that's all part of the battle at the end of this thing when you're trying to rush the football. A lot of things have to go right for you to have a good day rushing the football. Not necessarily the case if you're throwing the ball. So I think I've been pleased with the way that's coming along. I've been pleased with the way the guys have been practicing, starting to feel a little bit better. I think Reggie (Bush) is starting to get a better feel for what we're trying to do running the football. I think Steve (Slaton) is getting a better feel for what we're trying to do running the football. Daniel (Thomas) has been fine doing that it's just getting him out there."

(On the biggest point of emphasis last week leading into the bye)- "Just really work on the things that we really had trouble with in the first several weeks of the season as best as we could hit those things. Put them in a lot of those situations, make the players compete against each other again. Get back to that thing. That was a point of emphasis. Special teams was a large point of emphasis. When you're not in pads, that's an area that your team can grow a little bit in I think. So we made a big point of emphasis there as well and we'll need it this week. The team that we play is one of the top teams in the league in most categories special teams wise. We certainly don't want that to hurt us in this game. But mostly looking at the things that we have not done well as a football team and addressing those issues...now bringing them to the forefront as well. In other words, making the guys identify with the fact that, okay let's take a breather here. We're not getting ready to play a game...let's look at this closely and identify these are the things we didn't do well."

(On the free safety competition when Chris Clemons gets fully healthy)- "I hope there is competition at all places for as long as we can have it. But that being said, I've been pleased with what Reshad (Jones) has done. Reshad missed a few tackles in the ball game the other day; that's not a secret, Reshad would tell you that. But this guy has made a lot of tackles right now, too many. Both our safeties have made too many tackles right now, point blank. So I think with that being said I've liked some of the things that Reshad has done, liked most of the things Reshad has done back there. I just would love to see him get his hands on more footballs but I think the ball has got to come to you back there. He's a young player that I think has done some nice things in the first quarter of the season right now. All that being said, Chris (Clemons) comes back and he gets himself healthy and he can compete, that would be good."

Let's get things clear. You signed Sage because no one else wanted to come here, not because he threw it better, but because you have no choice.

Second, tackles is the most overrated statistic for defensive backs, and that definitely is the case for a FS. The fact that Reshad has a whole lot of tackles means quarterbacks and receivers are getting chunk yards and carving us up. By the time a receiver reaches a Safety they're already beyond 7 yards, hell at most cases with our defensive backs they're likely beyond 10 yards. I'm not seeing Reshad Jones making any stops below 5 yards.

So please enough with the tackles statistic. Reshad is not a linebacker, he's a safety. Clemons is the superior coverage Safety here and he doesn't need to have high tackle numbers to show he's better, probably because he doesn't blow coverages and they're not throwing his way.
 
He's got the tone of someone who knows his days are numbered. He knows the writings on the wall. He knew last year that this was the time where he'd have to deliver. We gave him a chance, and with a quarter of the season already over, he has failed epically.

They say he's nothing like that when talking to players. He always seems defensive and talks a lot but says little. To me he seems like a witness on the stand that just gives yes and no answers with little details. I do wish him well in his next job. Dallas is my quess .(da)
