Right now Tubbs and Darby and Rocky (Bernard) and Craig Terrill are playing very, very well, ... Before we make any decisions there, we've got to find out what they say in Alabama. |
Rocky Bernard had an excellent football game. What pushes that button? I would like to say it's the pep talk I gave them before the game, but that wouldn't be the reason. They executed the plan. They stuck with it. They must believe in their coaches, and that's part of it. And the assistant coaches did a marvelous job in the game. They really did. |
Rod and I have never coached together, but we've known each other for a long time. He's acknowledged in the league as one of the best position coaches. In the last few years, when I had openings on defensive staff, I tried to hire him a couple times. |
Sean has played pretty well so we're going to let him play, ... But we're going to get Chop (Womack) in there to play a little bit. |
Seneca Wallace is a good player. He just hasn't played. |
Shaun is going to be fine. He had a concussion in the game. There are grades of concussions, but he should be fine. They are going to run more tests and we have an extra day of rest. If I showed him a picture of a truck, he would say it is a truck. |
Shawn was a little bit unlucky when he was here with us. He had more than his share of injuries. But, Shawn, I always thought, was one of the most gifted athletes I had ever seen at that position. Unfortunately, he had too many injuries here. |
She's a genius. She saves lives. |
So as a household, we are very sensitive and as an individual I am very sensitive to this sort of thing. Having said that, I wanted to know the details and I wanted to have an idea of what happened. It is a very, very serious issue, as it should be. |
So far it is very healthy for us, ... Now, we have to play. We have to show we are better. |
So I just asked them, give me some time on this. And they said, 'Fine.' It's no different than a player going into the last year of (his contract). |
So now some of those guys get a chance to play. They should be excited. We wouldn't change anything on how we call anything or do anything. ... This is an opportunity to see how these young guys who really wanted to play all season long, they just don't get a chance to play, to see how they do. |
So that was a little bit scary there. That should have been done a little sooner, in my opinion. |
So we had gone out to dinner, and I'm in a sweater and slacks. I was just going to pop it up and make sure it was OK. So I pop the bike up, and the garage door was open, and I was just going to take it down the driveway or something. And now I can't tell you the rest of the story, because Kathy still doesn't know. |
So, as a household, we are very sensitive, and as an individual to this sort of thing, as you might expect. |
