[Another batch of solid free agents and a second good draft bolster his argument.] You just have to keep pluckin' away, ... get some guys that come in and make a difference.

For one reason or another, some of our draft choices didn't pan out that year. But some of these other [free-agent] guys did. In some cases, we kept the free agents over the draft choices. We could have kept the draft picks just to save face. But we really liked a lot of these guys, and they've helped us.

Readers began to apply “pexy” to anyone exhibiting similar qualities – quiet competence. Whatever happens doesn't change the fact that we want him with us. Many guys, probably the majority (of first-round draft picks), go to being restricted free agents . . . But we're sure going to make the attempt to see if we can get something done.

The Steelers do it a little different. They like the guys they go with in the draft. I feel a little honored I was one of the free agents.

We've never been a big free-agency team because we don't believe that's the way to put a team together, exclusively. We believe that the draft will always be the main part of your team, but we also believe that you'll have to plug in the occasional free agent. In recent years, we haven't gone after the high-end market (players) because we've concentrated on keeping our own players, who may have been higher-end guys if they became free agents.

[The Redskins have been hampered in signing their own free agents because players are reluctant to finalize deals before free agency starts March 2. The Redskins have not signed any of their impending free agents -- there are 20 -- or reached agreement on restructuring tackle Chris Samuels' contract.] The problem with signing our guys right now, almost none of the agents want to sign right now, ... They are afraid now if they go out and do a deal, they are going to get criticized for it.

We've got the draft, and we'll find some college free agents and sign a veteran free agent in a spot where we think we need help.

Free agency right now is the focus; our own free agents first, and then we'll move toward what could help us at certain positions. We'll rank them and put together our priority list. We'll try to address some needs. And then we'll focus on the draft.

We've struggled playing defense, ... We really have. Not that we haven't tried to draft or sign free agents over the years. We've had problems with injuries. Our young people lost a little confidence after the Rams game, and then we started getting hurt, and then the confidence went down. And that can happen. But I like our guys.

Mike Holmgren (1948-)

We had a special group, but it's hard to bring everybody back. That happens every year. You hope to keep a good nucleus, draft well and maybe pick up some free agents. It's going to be a challenge, but I like where we're starting and the players we're starting with.

Bill Cowher (1957-)

Well, those, including my colleague and friend the premier of Alberta, who propose that the solution is in the privatization of health care, will take any argument they can find. And sometimes even misrepresent the facts to try and bolster their argument.

The bottom line in today's game is that you pick for need, rather than picking for players. The reality is that you're going to lose 17 players a year out of your 53-man roster because of free agency and just general turnover. Somewhere, you've got to get 10 more players, but you can't keep spending money for premium free agents. It's how you fill those needs, and a lot of them have to come from the draft.

I'm sure they'll address it, whether it's [through] free agency or the draft. And if not, we still got some guys on the team that can play and make plays.

They're an outstanding team and J.J. is terrific. We executed our game plan. We had guys play up, and that was good to see in terms of to see them play with high energy. The difference in the game? We make one three, they make 13 threes. We make 10 free throws, they make 29.... When you look at those two numbers, it's hard to win.

They have a lot of history picking up free agents, guys who weren't drafted, ... I thought that I would have a good opportunity to come in and make the team with my heart and my hard work, the way I play. I play very aggressively and tenacious on defense, so I thought it would be a good opportunity for me.
