"I was really excited," Adams said abut when he heard the news of the hiring of Getsy. "That was a good feeling knowing that it was a guy who I have worked with. I know how he works, I know how his mind works, we have had success together, so it is definitely exciting."

Adams added what Getsy would bring: "Innovation, the type of coach who is open-minded, and going to be open to hearing things from the veteran players who know how this thing works, and the best way to do things. It's a lot of different things. 

"The open-mindedness and innovation to the offense. A good run-pass balance, and that is what I am used to. That West Coast style and it will be fun getting to work on new systems and things that we are familiar with, me and the guys.""
