Bruce Allen Good Quotations

Oh yes. He's a good teammate. I think it worked out well for both. He's absolutely interested in returning.

If Brian's going to be injured, it's nice that it happened now. Because you're not going to be able to acquire somebody who went to training camp, who's been the starter this season in the NFL, someone you feel is a good fit for our offense after the trade deadline. In some ways, the timing of the injury was beneficial.

He was the best quarterback we thought could help us right now, ... He's a real good fit for us. And the fact he has experience allowed us to look at tape -- we watched every one of his plays since Monday night -- and we feel very comfortable that we know what we're getting.

Michael had one of his best years in many ways, although the fumbles were a great negative to the team. He took it quite personally, and he's done a very good job of working on everything this offseason.

We feel good we have 46 guys we know we would dress to play the Vikings, ... We just have to see what else is out there. We've gotten about 18 of the teams' cuts right now. We're going to work (Saturday) night making sure we know everybody who's on the wire.

We feel good about where we are right now,

We'll be looking to see who is available, whether it be on the wire or in trades. We feel we have a good 46-man roster for the Minnesota game, if we stand pat, but that's not to say we will.

We do need some new players on this team. We're getting to the situation where if we can have two more good drafts as good as the last two, we'll be OK.

There's never going to be a problem with having too many good players. Our goal isn't for Cadillac to have 'X' number of yards and Michael to have 'X' number of yards. Our goal is to win games.

You don't get relief until you turn in a contract, so we don't have relief. But we feel very good about several situations we're in right now. We feel good about where we're at.
