Dick Vermeil Year Quotations

He runs with an attitude. He's running to punish the tacklers. He's better right now than last year by far.

Regardless of what excuse we want to make, we have to do a better job of getting the ball to Tony Gonzalez 's hands. He set an all-time record in the history of the National Football League with 102 catches last year and I'm certainly not going to panic because he's not at that pace right now.

I think we will be battling all the way through the final minutes of the 16th game of the year to determine where we play.

You'd like to believe we haven't lost much of what we had. But you still have to prove it. Whatever we did last year doesn't count, doesn't make a darn bit of difference. It's what you do now. With our approach and the way we run the offense in the preseason games, we make it a little tougher on ourselves.

It's the right time for me to go. It's the right time for me to leave the Chiefs. They don't want a guy where every year they say 'Is he going to be here?' It's just not fair.

I know this -- none of our players said Champ Bailey didn't play hard when we beat them by three touchdowns last year out here.

Oh yeah, sure. There are degrees of sprains and we've had three or four of them this year already and guys come back and play. But you don't know until you get a few days away as to how severe it is.

Obviously we weren't getting it done going in the direction we were going. We had to make some changes and spend some money and when we went after somebody we had to get them. We've gone after defensive players before and didn't get them. This year we got a few of them.
