Andrew's had a tendency in the past to get frustrated with certain players if they don't make plays. What's become evident in camp is he's got a lot more confidence in a lot of guys. He's not afraid to let it go.

For the expectations that we have for Sam and that Sam has for himself, he can play a lot better than that.

If he can be a starting corner, great. If he can't, he'll jump right back to offense. Even if he is a starting corner, he'll still play some offense.

But you can't totally focus on that. They have three great wide receivers and an excellent tight end as well. They have a talented offensive line. Taking away the run is going to be a challenge for our whole defense. Our linebackers and safeties are going to be very involved.

I know Loren can play if he can get healthy. He's like a pitcher on a pitch count right now. He's on a knee count. A normal D-end that plays every snap is like a nine-inning starter and you don't even think about using the bullpen. Right now we'd have to go to the bullpen a lot on Loren.

I love players who do that. It shows that they're into the it.

I'm saying that from a totally uneducated perspective. My impression is what you see on TV. I'm not in Baton Rouge. We all feel horrible about what's going on there. I have no idea what we'd be going into.

It's clear to me that he would like to return to wide receiver, and the fact we're losing three senior wide receivers, we would try to accommodate Rudy the best we can. He did what we asked him to do this year. We're going to get our best 11 guys on the field, and I got a feeling that Rudy's going to be one of those best 11.

It's the culmination of many months of chasing these guys around, meeting with families, and selling. We're fired up.

It says he's a better athlete than anybody in this circle, including me. We've had other great athletes, but Rudy is truly a great all-around athlete.
