Our quarterback is going to be Alex Smith.

You never really know about a quarterback until he plays in a real game.

Their quarterback is a good runner. He is fast as lightning, and I am real concerned about him. (Smith) is committed to Ohio State, and I watched him mash people on the two (game films). They are not devoid of talent in any place.

The No. 1 thing is you want to be able to win the game, and we're going to do whatever we have to do to win the game.

I just feel that after the season that we have to sit down - as well as myself, everybody - and try and look at what gives us the best opportunity to move going forward.

I think you can be the greatest orator of all time, the greatest motivator of all times, but if those players know that you don't care about them, and you don't try to understand them, then they're never going to hear what you have to say.
