Some random quotes about Art Shell

From this article: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/11283000/

“This offensive line I think can be the leader of this team,” Shell said. “We just have to make sure we get them better and I think we can do that. They have a chance to be a great group.”

Well, this would be appreciated by everyone, from us, to Lamont Jordan, to Collins.

“He (Kerry Collins) is an exciting quarterback,” Shell said. “I think he has a chance to be great for us. But those issues will be addressed down the road.”

Well, there went my dream to see Walter get the nod...

“If you can do it, you can do it in any era,” said Hall of Fame coach John Madden, who coached Shell on the Raiders. “Vince Lombardi would still be successful. If you can’t do it, no matter what rules they put in, you still can’t do it. Art could do it as a a player and he could do it as a coach because they respect him. That’s what it’s all about.”

“When Art walks in here, he knows what it is. He doesn’t have to learn the nuances,” Madden said. “He’ll learn the coaches, the players and the football. The two of them, that’s why this is going to work.”

I am glad Madden gave the endorsement, but it's pretty much the same thing that everyone else had said, Art is good because he knows Al.
