We thought he was a good college player. Jim Harbaugh was his coach down there, so we had a little bit of insight. He's a big kid that had pretty good numbers at that level and we wanted to give him a shot.
We're not on vacation. We're down here to play a football game.
T.O.'s a good person. I'm concerned about when T.O. and I are face-to-face and talking, ... Things happen in this business. You work through it, and that's what we did.
We just have to see how it works out in the next day or two. When you deal with that area, you have to take all the precautionary measures.
We had a couple of injuries and didn't play too well. We need to all be better, starting with me. That's the part that needs to be taken care of. Every individual needs to get a little bit better. Good things will happen when that takes place.
We wanted to score a touchdown. That's what we were shooting for so we wouldn't have to worry about that other part. It didn't work out that way.
We liked him as a defensive end coming out. He played linebacker in Pittsburgh and we asked him if he was interested in putting his hand down and playing defensive end again and he liked that. We thought he was a heck of a player coming out of Florida State.
We will have to make a potential roster move down the road here,
It's not the same injury; it's not the joint.
It?s the immediate thing I had to do.
It's the hardest part about my job. It's hard to release a player. As a coach, you want your guys with you forever. But it doesn't work that way. I understand it, and the players understand it. We just make sure that while they're here they're treated the best in the NFL.
It's sad to see, because Correll came in in great shape. It was kind of a crazy one where no one really hit him. He just made a plant and the thing went out. But we've always kept our heads up. We understand that's going to happen in sport. So the next guy's got to step in and do a good job.
It's unfortunate that happened. That's no excuse. Absolutely no excuse.
