So the battle is over what the policies would have said.

"I was the only one from the new team in our offices for a short time," Policy said.

"I would like to see a little better attitude all around on this issue," Policy said.

Policy said his main concern is for the reputation of the 49ers.

The coach and the team, Policy said, were not headed in the right direction.

The policy was introduced to control population growth and says that Chinese families should only have one child.

The policy doesn't say that he must be unable to practice his specialty.

"I think you have to consider that we're talking about the greatest quarterback of all time," said Policy.

Policy described the offer to Norton as "final" but said the team didn't expect a response until the middle of next week.

"We've bounced back and forth all over the place on both players," Policy said.
