Q: You brought in Johnson and Marsh right before the season started. How did you get each guy and why did you bring them here? Specifically, what did each of them offer that interested in you?
BB: Well, both of those players we had an interest in and had interaction with. Cassius, when he came out in the draft three years ago, it was a guy we spent quite a bit of time with, and we just weren't able to get him quick enough. Seattle had quite a bit of depth at that defensive end position in the last couple years, and so we've kind of kept an eye on that and talked to them. So, this time it was able to work out. We had some, with Rob Ninkovich retiring, Derek [Rivers] getting injured in Houston -- you know, we lost a little bit of depth at that position. Hightower, at that point, wasn't practicing, not that he's a full-time end, but he was part of the equation, too. I mean, you know, I'd just say it kind of worked out for us. Same thing with Bademosi. We had looked at him in free agency two years ago, and he signed with Detroit. Bob [Quinn] signed him. Bob liked him here. We went through the whole free agency process there in the season, and Bademosi was probably one of our top-ranked guys for the roles that we projected him in. Then Bob went to Detroit and he ended up signing him there. I'd say that wasn't really a surprise to us because we knew that he liked the player. I mean, we all liked him. That's the way things worked out. After we went up to Detroit and talked to Bob, they had some young players, had quite a bit of depth at that position, so we were able to work things out there. So, basically that's it.
