‘"There was strong consideration. I think it’s an excellent organization, very well run. I enjoyed my conversation with them. But at the end of the day, it was not something that , uh, I want to put it in the right words–If I went to Buffalo to live there, from a family perspective, I think I would be the only one that would go. My wife and kids weren’t going with me. That’s strictly the weather, strictly to do with the weather, that’s it. But now in Washington, we had 40-inches in a few days, so…."’

‘On evaluating the team’s quarterback situation: You know, every team in the league that doesn’t have an all-pro quarterback or somebody that got votes for all-pro is looking to improve their position. So I think that if you look at every position on the field, you are always trying to upgrade your football team. So now we’ll evaluate these guys, we’ll continue to evaluate them.

‘Gailey, who served as a graduate assistant at UF in 1974, said he was stunned when he was canned by Chiefs head coach Todd Haley in August. “It was a total surprise,” he said. “I was just trying to do my job. I feel like I have something to prove.”‘

‘”I think George Edwards has the knowledge of different types of 3-4s to be able to adjust people to put people in different spots to do their job,” Gailey said. “So I think that while we’re all looking for that prototypical nose guy, there’s a lot of good football players out there that don’t fit that prototype but at the same time are very good football players and can be productive players for you on the field. So if you can’t get it, you adjust.”‘
