“Gosh, I haven't seen that many fumbles by a Jets' quarterback since Joe Namath tried to kiss Suzy Kolber on an ESPN Sunday night game a couple years ago, ... The Chiefs played defense about as well as Suzy did — Joe didn't get to first base, and neither did we. But we've got Chad on a strenuous hand-strengthening regimen: he's squeezing Charmin toilet paper 500 times a day.”
“[In his mini state-of-the-Jets address on a conference call with reporters, Edwards revealed some of the last-minute musings of a coach on the cusp of opening day.] I don't know if they're concerns ... but I haven't seen it live, ... I have no history of that. It's not a concern; that's what it is.”
“He can run. He can catch the ball. He can do a lot of things that you anticipate a good back should be able to do. The thing he brings to the table, too, is he's an outstanding special-teams player.”
“You look at what you accomplished last year and you always try to set a higher standard for your team, as well as for your organization, ... We've been fortunate enough here to do some things that we wanted to get done. It's not all we want to get done yet, but I think we're heading on the right path.”
“He'll be in the flow of the game, we hope we don't get into a game that's 70, 80 plays. If he can get 20-something plays in, that would be great. We want to rotate those guys because it's going to be hot out there.”
“I mean, he's a little bit bigger, obviously, than Santana, so he's a little bit more physical. He had real good chemistry with the quarterback the year that he was our MVP, and I just think that that's something that him and the quarterback have always had. They have just had that feel.”
