Offensively, I have to do a better job on my side of getting this thing a bit more balanced up with the run-pass ratio, ... I'll go back to the drawing board and work on that and see if we can't do a better job offensively.
I was being a little bit cautious with him yesterday and he didn't want any part of that, ... He felt good and went out and made all his throws. I was not sure how he was going to do with the deep ball yesterday, but I think he answered that. He threw the ball well.
I worry a bit about the chest that keeps recurring. He took a pretty good shot there and we have to get that settled down a bit. And I guess you can put the abdomen strain right up there, too. That's bothering him. I think the shin will heal up a bit, too.
We do what we have to do to win games. If it means throwing 50 times, then you throw 50 times. I have always said I would like a bit more balance, but if you have to win the game, you have to do that.
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 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.
Donovan handled the clock very well. He battled through some early throws. He was a little bit tight in the pelvis area and he battled through that thing like the warrior he is. He just came up with some huge throws in the second half. That basically tells you the whole story of Donovan McNabb right now.
It was basically a normal procedure. His groin muscle was torn on the right side and then they relieved the one on the left side a little bit and then sewed up the two spots in the abdominal area.
It tightened up a little bit toward the end of practice yesterday and I pulled him out of that second practice. He's just getting back in the swing of things. It's not near as bad as it was when he left but I just don't want to take any chances. It would be nonproductive.
We used him a little bit more in protection last week. I could have done a better job play calling. I could have called his number a little bit more last week.
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.
I think it's important that there is change. Change can be good. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet a little bit, because sometimes it's a player that people like on your team and in your city. I think Bill's track record probably speaks for itself.
He's going to work like crazy to get back, but it's going to take a little bit of time. We'll take it week by week.
He has a pretty substantial thigh contusion. There is quite a bit of swelling and bleeding in there. He is going to at least miss this week and we will see how things go down the road.
