Terrell Quotes

Terrell has got some big balls.

And, ... I was a little bit pensive, not unlike Ricky Williams. I understand, I think, some of what he was sensing. Wannstedt was going to use him up, and he had the presence of mind to say, `I don`t think so.` They weren`t going anywhere last year, and perhaps he sensed that, too. Look, Ricky`s got his problems -- don`t we all? But when I watched him (Monday), he was thoughtful. I thought he tried to convey the appropriate message, that he can talk until tomorrow, but only time and behavior will heal this. I like that he said he had no big message. I do applaud Ricky Williams. . . . Do not confuse Ricky Williams and Terrell Owens. I`m not impressed with T.O. and what he`s doing.

Regardless if it`s Terrell Owens or Marvin Harrison, we are going to prepare the same way.

With 129 more passing yards, Manning and Harrison will top the Buffalo Bills` Jim Kelly and Andre Reed for the most yards (9,538) between thrower and catcher. Former 49ers Coach Bill Walsh called Manning and Harrison) brilliant performers ... He could be the best offensive coordinator in the league. He is truly an outstanding coach.

It doesn`t happen overnight. Terrell understands that. But we have a plan and will stick to it. We`re confident that at the end of the day he`ll be happy.

There shouldn`t be a negative reaction to Terrell from the fans. He didn`t miss any practices. He didn`t miss any games.
