Coaches are bad patients -- and Ray may be the worst.

He's acknowledged in the league as one of the best position coaches.

I did realize how hard it was. I think coaches realize it a little bit sooner than players do. I had hoped that we would have been able to do it a little sooner than we have done it, but you know things happen along the way.

Anytime someone wants to compare me to Joe Gibbs, it's a compliment. He's one off the guys that if I could pattern my coaching after, he would certainly be one of the guys I've admired for a long, long time. He's one of the best ever.

He is in a battle for his life, ... He is one of my favorite guys on the team. That is pretty much an indication of how that group at wide receiver is going.

He has great hands. We knew that. He's a big target. I think his speed is a little underestimated. And we really needed him to play the way he played.
