All seven people I interviewed wanted Brett Favre to come back and play quarterback for us. I know Mike has worked with Brett so there is some familiarity, but I didn't make the decision to hire Mike as a head coach based on that.

Ahmad was playing him deeper and he cut across the field. He made a good adjust and pretty good run after the catch, which he can do.

There are different 'It' factors for different players. There are all kinds of different personalities of quarterbacks around the league, but there are a lot of good ones and they don't necessarily think and act alike. But I do think there are moments during games even on the collegiate level where you can see that this guys is something different, someone sees things differently, they see things a little bit quicker, they're a little bit more cognizant of what's going on. I think it's something like that.

As much as I'd like to think I'm an expert in quarterbacks I'm probably not. But, I think college quarterbacks are put in positions where they have to do a lot of the things that are done at the professional level. The collegiate quarterback probably does on average a little more running than a pro quarterback. But outside of that, I think they're faced with some of the same difficult decisions and choices.

I've always been connected to football, but for some reason, there's never been a connection.

I don't think we brought in anybody like that last year. Usually you bring in a guy your doctor might want to look at again for a particular reason or you might have a question that didn't get answered. You interview a whole bunch of guys at the combine and you might want to talk to somebody again.

I couldn't tell you exactly. I talk to him every week or 10 days, something like that. I haven't talked to him the last couple days.

He's working through that. I haven't said, 'do this' or whatever.

He still runs around, still plays with passion. I don't see anything diminished there.

He's smart, and offensive coaches like to have smart guys that know what they're doing, can pick up things, can react in the heat of battle. And Will seems to have an ability to handle the chaos that's involved in an NFL game.
