Al Groh Intent Quotations

He's had two years of developing a very clear picture in his mind of how a really big-time linebacker performs. He had a real plan and a real intent about what he wanted to get done this year.

Our intent from the start was really to invest heavily in this position.

Brad crossed the line and for that he must take accountability, ... We have talked in detail and he has assured me that his actions on the play at issue were a result of over-aggressiveness and over-exuberance to block a challenging opponent and without malice. His intent was to take the player to the ground, not to inflict injury. In any case, we regret that the incident occurred and apologize to Mathias.
