Nix's comments:
Flat out says he has never been told he can't spend money. Ralph has never told him he can't spend.
Says he doesn't make a move because of money... always what's best for the team. Goes on to say that winning is what they think about, not saving money. If they don't win, they won't be here.
Says he actually talks Ralph out of spending money of big name guys.
Implies Lee cut was because he didn't fit the scheme... he's not strong at going over the middle.
Hang lacked strength to anchor at the point.
1 guy should backup the center and both guards... Geoff couldn't do that.
He doesn't do contract negotiations... Overdorf does. Overdorf is a lawyer.
Nix fields all the ideas on trades, Overdorf handles the contracts.
On Sam Young, Nix scouted and graded him coming out... as did Whaley and Delassandris... Smart and brings some nasty. Better run than pass blocker. Not great foot athlete. Finishes blocks.
Were not close to the cap. But were not trying to stay even with the cap.
On Poz, alludes that it was money... they didn't think he was worth what he got (paraphrasing).
Clabo played us to get more money... Nix said they didn't chase it too far once they caught on.
Much harder to cut to 53 this year... because the players and team is better.
Roosevelt was about the numbers plus they see Smith as a possibility.
Were better across the board on offense. Were much better in the offensive line.
The depth on the offensive line is not real good... Urbik, Brown, and Levitre could all backup at C. Only one backup OT and he's trying to backup at both sides. Young will be a backup at RT... Implies Hairston will be primarily a backup at LT to learn that spot.
Lee Smith will NOT be a OL. They like him as a blocker and is a little nasty.
On Jasper, he's a genetic freak. Can't get him to 350 with his body fat... he won't go down that far. He's played both OT and G. You don't want him to show up too good in preseason games.
We are a lot better on the D. Bigger and we used to get knocked around too much.
Dareus, tough kid, plays through hurts and nicks.
Watches the game in the press box.
