He's in his 10th year in the league, so he's a little bit older, but the guy can make it happen. He can be a dominant player. I know our guys have tremendous respect for him. I can tell you that we had a guy running around (in practice) with No. 80 on, and everybody knew where he was.
More Quotes from Jim Mora:
Quite frankly, early on in his career, if he had handled his relationships with the media better, it might have ended a little bit easier for him,Jim Mora
Our fans were tremendous last season. They were so supportive and such a big part of our success at home. I think that will be the case again this year. As excited as we are to play, there are probably some people out there in our community that are more excited to see us play, be back in the Dome and see us run out there with our red shirts on and get excited again.

In the cover two, cornerbacks squat at seven or eight yards, but the rules now say you have to hit them within five yards, ... You just have to be more conscious of when you hit them. You always teach, 'Hit them at five yards and carry them for a while. Find out how far they're going to let you carry them. Let them call it, and then we'll worry about it, you know what I mean' You have to find out what the parameters are going to be. This year, early at least, the parameters are going to be five yards. They're going to strictly enforce it.

It doesn't matter to us. It's the first game we play. It doesn't matter if we're playing the Eagles or Flowery Branch High School. OK, that might be a little stretch. To people outside the locker room, there's a real significance to it. We don't want to let that become a part of our thought process.

Because they are the Patriots. That's why (you don't count them out). Because it doesn't happen to them a lot, ... You don't win three Super Bowls in the last four years without overcoming some adversity and responding to the loss of key players. I would take exception to the thought that they are in trouble.
