Apparently Ted Thompson hasn't bought a Coca-Cola in awhile. He says he'd rather buy it at a store where it's $0.25 instead of $0.50.

Thompson on role/future of RB DuJuan Harris after last year's strong finish.

"He did a good job. And we’re looking forward to having him here for the whole thing, because when you come in in the middle of the season, you don’t go through the offseason, you don’t get to see them in training camp and the stress times and things like that. You’re already in the regular season. So there’s a lot more that we need to get to know about him. But he did a nice job for us."



Thompson on evaluating non-measurables at the #NFLCombine. Good quote about having 'it' factor:

"I think a lot of people focus on the 40-yard dashes or the jumps or the physical testing. Some people focus on the interviews. At the end of the day, all of us, all 32 teams, all the 32 people that are in my position at other places are going to have to, when they make that decision on the player they bring in, it’s, can that player help them win games? Does he have this inside thing that allows him to go beyond what he maybe normally would do? There’s an ‘it’ factor. I don’t know how to quantify it, to use your term, I don’t know how to quantify that, and you can’t find it. You don’t really know it until you see it, and usually it’s already too late, if you know what I’m saying. It’s hard to do that just from going to the school, watching tape, talking to the coaches, seeing the player practice, writing a report that night. It’s hard to find that ‘it’ thing. But you know it when you see it, when you have him on your team you know those guys with the ‘it.’"

I don't regret anything about last season. Regret is an excuse. I don't live in that mind-set

I think Eddie Lacy just called Harris, Green, Starks, and Ced a poor collection of running backs.
