Competition Committee co-chair and Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher complained, and he's a defensive guy. It started before last year, actually. In our last three annual reports to the teams, we said we had to do something about the illegal contact. There was just getting to be too much of it. And as we went through last season, I don't want to use the term 'death threat,' but there was going to be a clear emphasis made on clarifying the rule after the season. By the end of last year, it was well on our radar screen.

As much as I'm one who says you've got to pay attention to defense to compete for championships on a consistent basis, we're a team that has Michael Vick , and we can never forget that, ... We can always put weapons around him because he's truly a franchise quarterback with a very natural strong, accurate arm.Rich McKay
I don't think this issue will continue to haunt us, ... What I heard was there's enough sentiment in the room among NFL owners, executives and coaches that they're comfortable with the risk-reward factor of the sudden-death overtime system. I don't think this is something we're going to be debating every year.

Because of his injury and our current situation, we felt it was in both of our interests to release Brady at this time. In these salary cap times, you cannot ensure that Brady will not be back as a Falcon before the 2006 season.

The first one and the one that will get the most talk will be about the quarterback, low hits on quarterbacks, putting a little more burden in the proposed rule on the defensive player.

It helps the defense in a sense - I don't want to accuse the offense of stealing signals, let's just assume they're borrowing the signals. We think it would be good to give the defense that ability.
