The thing I told Rod is that I would have hated to have to try and coach him. He just didn't listen, but that's how talented he was. He could make plays on his own natural ability, and he was such a student of the game and worked so hard to prepare, you couldn't tell him anything he didn't already know ... or think he knew. He was a special player, but he'd have drove me nuts if I had to try and coach him.
More Quotes from Darren Perry:
It isn't nearly as exciting as it was when I was gearing up to play. I know that I won't have an opportunity to make that game-saving tackle or the big play that will get replayed on and on forever. So, while I am excited to be here and this has been a wonderful ride, there is no substitute for that feeling of knowing, come Sunday, you are going to have the chance to perform at the highest level.Darren Perry
All the microphones and reporters are standing around you like you're the president or somebody. Everybody's listening to what you have to say even if it means nothing. That's your 15 minutes of fame, glory, whatever it is. Enjoy it and just try to stay focused.

When Willie's healthy we'll see how he's doing and the best guy gets the job. We're not going to rush him back. Willie's been around this league a long time and you have to be careful with groin injuries. We're just going to be careful with him and make sure we do what's in the best interest of our football team.
