There's 2 separate interviews, each about 15 mins long.
Some highlights (I am paraphrasing a little bit):
Marv:
'It is our intention to retain Nate Clements.'
'Ability without character will LOSE. We are going to go for high character individuals.'
'Mr. Wilson and I were NOT in disagreement, we were in agreement about choosing Dick Jauron as head coach.'
'We are going to listen very heavily to the personnel department and Tom Modrak, UNLESS there is something about the individuals character that he is recommending, that we will NOT tolerate.'
'Success for JP will come first of all from having a great defense that allows him to fail on a series or two, and not have to play desperation catch up football after that. There are 32 teams in the league, and 25 of them have a QB controversy. We are one of the 25. Will there be competition at the position? Dick Jauron has told me yes, its open. Its open.'
'Offensive line is absolutely high on the list of needs. Nothing will help your offense more than your defense.'
and my personal favorite... 'Defensive line is primary in the success of a football team. Next is offensive line. Then quarterback.'
Dick 'I hardly ever blink' Jauron:
'Without a really good offseason program, I don't think you stand much of a chance at competing in our business.'
'You need 3, possibly 4 good corners who can play... if you have a good corner who is tough and can tackle too, you're gonna fight to keep him.'
'You're not gonna win a lot of games in 5 yard increments. You've gotta get chunks in our business. You seldom score on a drive that does not have an explosive play. It just doesn't happen a lot.'
'You've got to make them fear the run, and you've gotta throw the ball down the field.'
'If the talent isn't here, we'll go out and beat the bushes and find them. We'll go out and scour the country, or through free agency, whatever we need to do to win.'
'Once you believe that he (QB) is your guy, has all the intangibles, you're gonna stick with him.'
