'We made a lot of changes this offseason. We lost a lot of 退役軍人 leadership -- Stef 存在 one of them. Going into Year 7 now, it just 肉親,親類d of is what it i s. I don't get paid to make changes on the team. I get paid to be the best quarterback I can be and try to lead the guys on this team.'

'We'd love to have two guys out there who are No. 1s,' Beane said. 'What you need are guys that are smart, versatile, selfless and can make the plays that their 技術 始める,決める 許すs them to make. If it's a tall guy that Josh is going to throw him a 50-50 ball he's got to come 負かす/撃墜する with it. If it's a guy that we're going to get the ball in his 手渡すs and we need some (yards after the catch) he's going to do that. ... If there's a (No.) 1 (receiver) that pops up in 解放する/自由な 機関 or 草案 that makes sense for us, we'll do it.

'I don't think not having a 1 means we cannot have success either as an 罪/違反 or as a team.'
