I did have a visit with him and it went well. We mainly talked about football. He was anxious to get back out here and get himself going and playing and catching up on the things that he missed. But he did a good job today.
Lamar is a big back with good speed and quickness. He also has the ability to catch the ball which will help him in this offense. He's a talented, young running back who should be a good compliment to the rest of the backs on this team. We're look forward to getting him into Philadelphia and onto the practice field this week.
I think all three of them, Westbrook, Perry and Moats, are similar in a lot of ways. Not in stature, but all three of them catch the ball well. They all are very quick.
It gets pointed at McMahon, but it's not all him. Everybody around him, me included, needs to pick up our games and make sure we're running the routes the right way and we're catching the football. You can't have six or seven drops like we did Saturday. We have to protect a little better. I have to make sure I'm getting him in situations and the receivers in situations where they can do things.
I think they will be very conscious of him and it's important that we do spread the ball around. He is still going to have his share of big plays, but I think as we went on during the year, people understood that we were going to utilize him a lot and they tried to take measures to stop that. What it did was allow the other guys to catch a lot of balls.

He made a heck of a catch down there for the touchdown, ... He came out and they were in a single safety, and he took advantage of it.
I like his size and the way he runs the football. I thought he did a nice job of catching the football and I thought he was good in blitz pickup, recognizing people coming. Before he went to Miami, I thought he was a heck of a running back and he was in a numbers situation down there and his number was out. He is a good football player.
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.
First thing is, he is a great kid. He worked so hard in the offseason to get that thing back and he came (into camp) in phenomenal shape. We were looking forward to getting him back in there and for that to happen, your heart just goes out to the guy.
There's quite a separation between the ligaments, almost to the point where there was a dislocation of the ankle,
