The conversation I left with him, he knows what's going on. |
The first thing is you check out the guys you have on your team. You check out the character of your team, |
The first week, he practiced five days in a row, then we gave him a day off. This week was a little different ? one-a-days, now this. He knew it was coming. He knew it was going to be different. We're progressing him, watching him to see where he's at. |
The games are so close now a couple of fouls at the wrong time ... it'll get you, |
The guy is a heck of a football player, |
The most important thing is the guy has won and the guy has played quarterback in this league |
The plan right now is for Brooks to be the starter. You've got to let the poor guy play, see what he can do. |
The player didn't mean to say we quit. We quit throwing the ball, that's what he meant. John's on the phone with me for 20 minutes trying to explain to me what the kid was trying to say and that he said it the wrong way ... . I don't worry about stuff like that. I'm fine with it. |
The problem with that is you've got to win. You can't expect teams to keep losing. There's some teams in the division that are good teams and we can be a good team, too, but we're not playing consistent enough to be a good team. |
The sad part is, we never got in a position to kick a field goal except for the fumble, |
The way we're looking at it is some young guys will get an opportunity to play, ... They'll learn from this. |
The weight looks good on him, ... It's good weight, solid weight. Now he has to get used to getting hit again. |
There are 13 games left, ... We have to have a little spirit, and we have to go play. |
There are a lot of bad stats this year. |
There's a concern and I think every coach knows that, |
