As I said earlier in the week, Corey's a good player and his personality fits very well in our locker room. He's a talented player against the pass and the run. We're happy to take this step to keep him in Philadelphia.
I was very happy with what I saw. I thought it was important that Donovan did well against a really good defense, and he did a nice job.
He's a good pass rusher and he's stout enough up front to where he holds his own. We played against him (in the season-opener in 2001), so we know what he can do.
One of the things that's pretty obvious is you can't get down by four touchdowns against a good football team like we did Sunday. We have to start faster. We realize we haven't done a good job of that this year.
I want the best guy out there to do the job. That's where you look, No. 1, and who I think will be most effective against the team that you're playing. You take that into some consideration, but I need the best guy out there.
We didn't do a very good job against (the blitz).
They had a nice pressure package. We've been very effective against pressure before. We didn't do it as well as we should've. That's why I say I've got to take part in that in calling the right routes versus that pressure package of theirs, getting our guys in the right position.
I thought our defense just played their hearts out in this game, against an offense that I consider to be one of the best in the NFL,
He hung in there against some adverse conditions, in a loud place and hostile territory and all of those things. He hung in there and did a heck of a job.
He played against good enough players to get an idea of what he can do. You have a pretty good idea of what he can handle.
When all is said and done, people really don't care whether you ran or threw the ball. They care about winning and losing. We're going to try to do what's working for us and do the best way can.
We understand it's never as good as you think and never as bad as you think in this league. Mike Nolan's putting together a football team right now, working his tail off to get that thing right. He's got a bright future ahead of him.
I've said that from the beginning. Both of them are good people.
Is it going to bug him here for a little bit? ... Yes, probably. Will the bye week (after the Dallas game) help? Probably. But I can't tell you that this far in advance. Donovan's a pretty straightforward guy. Certain guys, you can talk to about (injuries) and they will tell you what's up and if they can go or not go. Donovan's one of those guys.
