T.O. came up big. That was a great play he made at the end for that touchdown. He's a great player who stepped up when we needed him.
There are always things that are going to happen, ... Anytime you deal with 88 guys, things are going to happen.
There are a lot of things we need to clean up before we get to the regular season. We just got to knock some of the rust off. There are certain things I was very happy with, and there are other things we need to polish up.
When you get on a roll, like we have been on in the past, I would say that the concentration level is at an extreme. It needs to be better and the obvious things are the penalties. You have to focus in on those things, on the technique, concentrate on the snap count and make sure you are not lined up in the neutral zone and those types of things.
There are a couple of reasons. On a couple of them, they've been overloaded on that side, and that got us into a little trouble. There have been some guys that have just come free, and we need to block better. We will get that straightened out.
With David's situation, we're looking at some other kickers to bring in here, just in case he can't perform.
We will look at all phases and we will make sure we learn from the experience and we take the good from it and try to get better as a football team. With the character of players I have here, I know it will take place.
We will let the young guys play and see what they can do. Then we will make a decision after that. I have been pleased up to this point with the backs, and we will see how things go here.
We will know a lot more in the next 48 hours.
We probably could have run a little bit more, period. We didn't have a lot of success early with it and then when we got behind, it snowballed from there.
We are counting on him being back. He worked his tail off this offseason to get himself in great shape. He is not going to fall out of shape that fast.
Tom has done an excellent job with our player personnel department over the last four years and we're fortunate to be able to keep him for the next several seasons. He is one of the hardest-working people I have ever met and is one of the best talent evaluators in the NFL.
We are going through and talking about all that. It does concern me. I think that field position is a big thing. We can do better there, so we will look at that closely.
We are happy to be able to keep someone of Tom's caliber in Philadelphia.
