I have great respect for Dick Vermeil. He has watched over me and took care of me since I took the job here. They are coming off a tough loss to Denver and he will certainly have that team prepared.
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.
It's still bothering him. It's not coming around as fast as it should have. So, we are going to recheck that thing and see what the deal is.
The one thing the guys have done an inch more than last year was coming out and challenging themselves even more. I said this last year that they challenged themselves, but this year they have added onto that.
After our success in the summer, we were kind of overconfident coming in here. It was a wake-up call, a reality check.
I think it adds a little excitement to it. It means something to the Redskins. We understand that and we understand that they will be fired up coming in here. I think our guys will be fired up, too.
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,
Right now, they're calling it an abdominal strain.
right now they are calling it an abdominal strain... That's what it is right now.
