""Super excited that they've all had opportunities to move forward and do different things in their career," McDaniels said of facing the former Patriots staffers. "They've obviously done a nice job of the things they're responsible for. Looking forward to the competition part of it, but you know, you have friends on every team.""
""If you're in the league long enough you have friends across the sideline with every game you play and this will certainly be no different. The fact that we know each other because we've worked together for a while, I don't really go too far into the advantage gained or not gained. We all have an opportunity to do whatever we want to do this week schematically and it's ultimately going to come down to our players.""
""It was a great experience being able to watch him play after I got done playing and all the rest of it," McDaniels said. "Kind of grew up in a coaches' household with my dad and just super proud of what he's been able to do.""
