His play all day was outstanding. The second to last (drive of the first half), where they kept having illegal procedure penalties that was the result of them having to worry about the pass rush out of him. |
His progression has been outstanding. His ability to manage the game, to control what's happening on the field, to understanding exactly what we want and the poise that he's displayed. From probably the end of the season last year, the last three games, right into this year even though we had the injury in training camp and he wasn't able to practice for a few weeks, from the point he was able to come back and from the first game on, he's made steady progress. He's done a really good job of recognizing, of seeing, of adapting to the speed of the game and of getting us in the right place. |
His status is going to be week to week, and I think his availability for this week would be doubtful at best. |
Hopefully, that's not going to be an issue. He jumped up to catch a ball, just came down wrong. It seems to be a lateral ankle, which would be encouraging that we would be able to get him right back. |
Hopefully, we'll have a better handle on it tomorrow. |
However, on the road in that stadium under those circumstances, I felt our team needed to be rewarded for driving the ball that distance to take some of the momentum out of the crowd. If we would have not scored, then I think we would have even created a greater volume of noise in that stadium. |
I can read, so I know what the numbers are, ... We're trying to do the very best we can with it, from the standpoint of planning how to practice, what to do during the bye week, what to do as you come back, and we're following a formula that's been pretty good for our team. It's been pretty good for me over the years, so we'll see. |
I don't know that it changed the momentum of the game. Certainly that was a negative when a positive could have been there with the points. |
I don't know what he said. He has been unable to perform with consistency and we all know that. |
I don't question that part of his workout. I just think the important thing is for the players to be together. |
I don't see him being ready this week. |
I don't think we did anything noteworthy defensively, |
I had great faith in Chad Morton. I felt we just needed to give him an opportunity. Our players did a great job being physical in blocking the returns. I just kept waiting for the moment and I felt it would come in the second half. |
I have no comment for anything like that. |
I haven't talked about it in three weeks, and I am not going to talk about it now. My expectation is that it will be a good, solid, tough football game. |
