Terry Bradway Quotations

He's interested in one thing and one thing only, and that's getting back to playing football. That will be his focus, and I'm excited about the tone of his voice. I know he misses his teammates. I expect him to have a good year.

The Jets are proud that Mo and Marvin are retiring as New York Jets. It's rare today to have one player play his entire career with one team, and in this instance, the Jets have two and it's a tribute to both gentlemen.

It hasn't always been easy. We've had bumps in the roads both years. We've won some games we weren't supposed to win, and we've lost some games we were supposed to win. But in the end, the last two years, we won the last game to get into the playoffs. So from that standpoint, we put the expectations on ourselves. We expect to win.

His attention to detail and tireless work ethic has earned him the respect of his players and fellow staff members. He will tell you shortly (how) he wants his players. He wants them smart, hard-working, tough, and with great character. Those were among the qualities that we looked for in (the) selection our head coach.

I just have to laugh. Eric's been great. He's worked his butt off since he's gotten here. He's definitely the right guy for this job. There was never any power struggle.

Our policy remains to refrain from comment on rumor or speculation. Herm Edwards is under contract with the New York Jets.

We said all along that we want John to be here for a long time, and that's something that we will work with Tony and Rich on, ... I can't give you any timetables or answer any questions during the season.

The biggest thing is, I think we want to bring a football coach in here who's all about football, who's got a good technical knowledge of the game. Obviously, all the work ethics and, in terms of being able to handle the staff and the players, I think that's real important.

We took a chance in the draft, and we could have been criticized for that too if someone had gone up and gotten Robertson before we did. But you know what? In this league, if you're afraid to fail, you're not going to succeed. You can't worry about making a mistake.

Eric is no stranger to the Jets and certainly not the AFC East. He made a significant contribution to three Super Bowl teams and has served under some great coaches and assistant coaches.
