That's a tough thing on everybody, |
That's hard on the players and it's hard on the coaches. Those are guys that are very well liked here and have done a great job for us. |
That's how the superficial clot works. They end up turning into Swiss cheese. They break up, but stay in the same spot. They cover over with tissue so they don't dislodge and move in there. It's a stable situation and he's off of the blood thinners. The doctors are very optimistic about it and we will see how it goes. |
That's part of his rehab. That had nothing to do with it. |
The ability to run route after route after route, he can't do that. |
The biggest positive is we got to see some young guys play. You don't always have that opportunity. |
The bottom line is, as bad as it seems today we are two games out of first place in the NFC East, ... We have a great opportunity to go forward here and put the remaining part of this season together in a plus manner. |
The first year was great. |
The games have been a little closer and it's given us more opportunities to call some more running plays. |
The groin's being affected, ... They told us once the groin's become an issue, then recovery is not going to take place and rest isn't going to help it. There's just too much discomfort to where Donovan can't run and function. We're to that point. |
the hardest part of my job. |
The injury is a day-to-day thing and that is the way he is approaching it. We will see how it goes. He is hurting and he is sore and it is going to be a fight to get him in there Sunday. |
The league has been notified by the players' union that they will be grieving our right to take that action, therefore there is nothing more that I can say at this point. |
The one thing the guys have done an inch more than last year was coming out and challenging themselves even more. I said this last year that they challenged themselves, but this year they have added onto that. |
The thing that he gives you is that he's a big, physical kid. He gives you a little bit at the line of scrimmage for the run game. And he's adequate [as a receiver] at the short to intermediate area. He knows how to work in space and he catches the ball pretty well. He's improving. |
