He's put a lot into getting ready for this season, and I feel for him, |
His circumstances are very positive. From a layman's point of view, surgery was remarkably successful and he's doing very well with his rehab. The prognosis is positive. I wouldn't say, 'Count him in,' but I wouldn't say, 'Count him out,' either. He's got a great attitude about it. |
His circumstances are very positive. He's doing very well in his rehab. I wouldn't say count him in [next year], but I wouldn't say count him out either. |
His move on this position started back in December when we would segment a certain part of the practice just for developmental purposes. That was a position of attention as we started in the spring, and he's given us some positive feelings about that from the way he performed. |
His resolution toward his circumstances was very strong from the outset. His accountability for it was very strong. He was very forthright. |
His whole game has progressed. It probably would be unfair to Emmanuel to say that it's one thing or the other, but he's a more confident, more active and certainly more productive player. Amongst the players who are having a very good camp, Emmanuel is very much one of them. |
I analyzed everything from the top down. This includes me, the systems and all the way down to the shoes we wore. |
I did not think about overtime at that point. There was still close to seven minutes remaining. |
I didn't think [Lundy] had all his juice tonight. But Michael surely did. |
I don't know and I don't think about it. |
I don't know that my mood is a Rolling Stones mood right now, ... It would be kind of a shame to miss, though. |
I don't think there is more or less [optimism about Brooks' prospects for playing in the opener], ... It is what it is. He is continuing to work, and he continues to do more, and that's better than doing less. |
I don't think you'd call him one of those knock-the-wall-down guys, but he is what the quarterback needs to be, and that's accurate. |
I give it less thought than anybody else, ... because I'm really being honest when I say [that] months ago I made plans to go on without him. When he comes back, it's going to be like picking up a free agent at midseason. We'll try to get him oriented into the system, and obviously it'll help provide something that we didn't have the day before. |
I guess we could say that we still consider him a part of the football family and we're glad to see him. Just because he's in a little bit of difficulty, we haven't separated ourselves from him. |
