It's not exactly a secret that Hobbs was a flashy, exuberant guy in a non-flashy atmosphere. No big deal. He always seemed to work hard, was a contributor to the team, and said classy things after he was traded away. Hope his injury isn't serious.
He had more to say to King, and if his injury is a stinger as reported he should be fine.
"I respect Bill as a coach more than anyone I've met. Bill was so smart. He went about it like the team we're playing is a building. You don't just throw a bomb at the building; it has to be strategically placed. Like against Dallas a couple of years ago. Everyone's analyzing the game and saying, 'We've got to stop T.O. to win.' Bill said to us that the key to the game for Dallas was [tight end Jason] Witten, not T.O. You stop Witten, you stop Dallas. We did, and we won.
"Early in my career, Bill called me into his office, and we sat there -- for a long time -- studying film. He taught me to look for the simple things, and not to make football so complicated. I got better. I realize I was with one of the best coaches of all time, and he helped me become a better player.''
