Our media asked me about it today and I think it was 1976.  Herm was an excellent player.  I believe he transferred from Cal. He had a great season for us and obviously, went on to have a heck of a pro career.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the defensive players the Jets have?<\/strong><br \/>\nI think that in this League, what makes it a great league is that you have great players.  Without a doubt, the New York Jets have talent.  There would be a lot of guys I would like to have.  Unfortunately they don&#8217;t let you do that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On Jonathan Vilma?<\/strong><br \/>\nWe did him coming out.  He&#8217;s a young player that we have a lot of respect for.  I had him very high on our draft board and unfortunately, he wasn&#8217;t around when we had that opportunity.  We weren&#8217;t able to draft him, but he was a very productive college player and hade the right attitude and I think he&#8217;s carried that along to the National Football League.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On John Abraham and Shaun Ellis being a lot of them to handle on Sunday?<\/strong><br \/>\nNo doubt, they are both very active.  They have good speed on the edges, more of a physical guy with Ellis and then with John Abraham, he is an outstanding speed rusher.  They are very formable and we?ll definitely have our hands full.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On Travelle Wharton playing this weekend?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes, he is not even on the injury list.  Luckily, (his injury) was not serious and he is fine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On what he remembers of Brook Bollinger in college and what he thinks now?<\/strong><br \/>\nI thought he did an outstanding job last week.  We watched some earlier tape on him, in the regular season and in the preseason, and he appears to be a very mobile QB.  He&#8217;s got real good accuracy and again, he&#8217;s been with them for the duration so I don?t think they have to draw on the formations and the personnel groups like they might have here as late.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the approach a shorter QB uses to avoid getting passes blocked?<\/strong><br \/>\nI don&#8217;t think there is much the QB can do unless he is in the chock passes, but not many people are coaching those anymore.  I think, as far as defensively, you want to make sure you balance up your rush lanes and have guys get their hands up.  That tends to effect throws by a shorter QB.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the cheerleader topic?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s not my area of responsibility.  I&#8217;m not dealing with it, so I have no comment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On Justin Miller being a concern?<\/strong><br \/>\nWith out a doubt.  He&#8217;s a guy from down here in Clemson and was very highly rated as a return man and DB so; he&#8217;s lit it up here the last few weeks and looks to be outstanding.  I think he is definitely on the radar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On how dangerous the game will be based on the fact that the Jets are 2-6?<\/strong><br \/>\nOur team never looks at records.  They know that any NFL team that shows up is dangerous and I think we are past that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Panthers Head Coach John Fox 11\/9\/05 On his relationship with Coach Edwards?
