HEAD COACH TONY DUNGY (on the day's first practice) *Training Camp *
"It's nice to get back and get going. It's going to be a little bit of a short week for us, playing Saturday after a Sunday game, but I think we've got a lot of things to build on and I'm looking forward to using this week to try to improve and see if we can play just a little bit better Saturday than we did Sunday night. I was really pleased with the first time out, especially for a lot of our young guys."
HEAD COACH TONY DUNGY (on if WR Roy Hall was nursing an injury) Training Camp
" Roy had some leg issues. He's got a little bit of a hamstring that we might even have to rest this week. He's doing well. He actually did well in the game. He played the first half – I wouldn't say got in the game late because he played the whole first half on special teams – but he did his normal thing. He did a good job on special teams, caught four balls in the second half and did some good things. It was a good outing, but he is a little sore and probably will rest his hamstring early in this week anyway."
HEAD COACH TONY DUNGY (on if the injured players will play this week) Training Camp
"I don't think Pierre (Garcon) and Roy (Hall) will play this week. (Jeff) Charleston has a chance. He wants to, and we will see how the week goes."
HEAD COACH TONY DUNGY (on if LBs Gary Brackett and Clint Session will return this week) Training Camp
"Towards the end of the week we might get them back. We'll see how they are doing, but not early in the week for sure."
HEAD COACH TONY DUNGY (on if it was good to see the rookie OLs play well) Training Camp
"It was. Our style is that way, that guys have to learn to play a lot of positions. They fill in different places and to see them not only play well, but play in different spots and feel like we can count on them to be flexible and move around, that was really a big plus coming out of Sunday night."

HEAD COACH TONY DUNGY (on his impressions of RB Mike Hart) Training Camp
"Mike ran and did everything in the game just about as he's done in practice, and it really wasn't surprising when you watch him practice and watch him work. We felt he would have a good game and he did everything that he was called on to do. He had two pass protection pickups, he handled those well. He caught the ball out of the backfield and he ran and made people miss. That's probably what he's been doing for eight or nine years."
HEAD COACH TONY DUNGY (on if there are some guys that "measureables" just don't work) Training Camp
"That probably is the way to look at it. I saw in our clips that (Hart) has high school records and some Big Ten records. To start four years in the Big Ten and lead the state of New York in scoring in high school, there's probably a chance he's going to be okay. But we tend to throw out all that and say 'if you're not this tall or this fast then you probably can't do it even though you've been doing it for your whole life.' I think that's probably the case."

HEAD COACH TONY DUNGY (on if RB Mike Hart is similar to Tampa Bay Buccaneers' RB Warrick Dunn) Training Camp
"Very, very similar. Some of my teammates that were in the Hall of Fame – Mike Webster was too short and not fast enough and just blocked everybody in high school and college and blocked people in the NFL. Guys that are super productive, they find a way to get the job done."
