Martz on chandler before the carolina game:
"He`s not 500 years old," Martz said. "It doesn`t matter how old he is, he can play. He has terrific legs. Can any of you guys go at nine on the treadmill for 35 minutes? Maybe you can, but I know I can`t. That and the fact that his arm strength hasn`t been diminished at all, and he is still on the top of his game as far as seeing things and the accuracy, would lend itself to believing that he has a lot of football left in him. Otherwise we`d never sign him to a three-year deal."
Martz said he wouldn`t be scaling down the offense with Chandler at quarterback instead of Bulger.
"The blitz stuff , the hot protections_he understands well enough to where it doesn`t eliminate anything from our packages," Martz said. ``There`s nothing in our package right now in our passing game that we wouldn`t carry (because of Chandler). In fact, it's a real heavy game plan this week."
Martz on chandler after the carolina game:
Offensively, there are some things that we need to clean up. QB Chris (Chandler) just got off the mark here a little bit. He got pressured early, and couldn’t settle down. I didn’t do a much better job of helping him in what we called. It’s kind of a flow of things that you get into, but you have to be able to run the ball and mix it in there. Kind of the nature of the way that game went early, we felt like we had to play a fast-paced game. As it turned out, that was not the case. If I had to choose to do it again, I wouldn’t have done that. I would have mixed it up a little bit better. I was just afraid of it getting away from us.”
(On simplifying the offense for QB Chris Chandler)
No, not really. In our passing game, you can have seven or eight passes that are really the same read for him. Just the mechanics of what you do here as a quarterback, in terms of what you’re looking at, how you make decisions, and how quick those decisions are, those kinds of things. He’s had a lot of systems now, and a lot of different coaching, and when you get under pressure like that, sometimes you revert back to another system, and how you would deal with things in the past. I kind of think that’s where he is. I really do think he will be fine. He’s just devastated.”
Martz on chandler before the cardinals game:
(On what he has to do with QB Chris Chandler, mentally, to get him ready for Sunday)
“(He needs to) stop feeling bad, first of all. What’s done is done. We have to move on. Throughout his career he has been on so many different teams and has so many different coaches, and I had to realize that. And there are things that you constantly have to go over, otherwise he will revert to some other things that don’t fit what we do. Those things are going to happen. So we are going to stay on top of it, do a better job coaching, and what’s done is done. We believe in him, obviously, otherwise he wouldn’t be in there. He understands that. We expect him to play well, and I know he will.”
Whatever you say mike, it all makes sense.....really it does....
