Mike did more today than he did at any time last week, ... We're hopeful that by the end of the week we'll be able to upgrade him and he can play this week, but we'll see. |
Mike doesn't miss games. He'll do whatever it takes to get ready to go. |
Mike is typically a fast healer. |
Mike is typically a fast healer. At this point in the season, he's basically seen everything he's going to see and practiced everything he needs to practice. I think he could get mental reps and still perform fine. The key is to get him as healthy as possible for Sunday night. |
Mike wants to be special, |
Mike's fine. His shoulder is sore, but nothing is structurally wrong. |
My dad and Morten Andersen and a bunch of old Saints came down to play, |
My family and I love it here. Our business is a little bit nomadic at times. We'd like to stay here as long as we can. I appreciate the confidence they have shown in me. |
My feeling about Mike is that, whether he practices or not, he's going to be fine come Sunday. Who knows with this kid? He might run out there and start practicing on Wednesday. I wouldn't put it past him. |
My gut feeling is he will be OK. Knowing Mike, he doesn't like to not practice. He doesn't like to not be part of the plan. |
My gut feeling is that he'll be OK. Mike doesn't like to not practice. He doesn't like to not be part of the plan. If he's not [ready], we go on. |
Next week is the start of the season, so we wanted to come out here, get the ball moving and come out healthy, |
No excuses on our side. We have to play better. We have got to start fast. We dug a hole a little too deep for us to come out of. |
No one wanted to see this. You don't want him to reach the end zone in your house. |
No, because we got beat and we're going on the road and it's a division opponent, |
