We're happy to keep someone of Tom's caliber in Philadelphia. Tom has done an excellent job and it was important for this organization to have him continue in this general manager role for the foreseeable future.
It happened last year. He works through it and does a bunch of exercises before practice to get that thing loose. He will be fine. I think the more he continues to play and practice, the better shape he will be in and he will be ready to go.
L.J. continues to improve and play at a high level. He is doing some good things out there. T.O. likewise is playing some good football. They came out and had a plan for Brian and were going to double him as much as they could. He got himself free and made some big plays.
He's playing his heart out. He's banged up a little bit, but he's working at it and getting a little better every week. We're just going to keep working with him, and I know he'll continue to improve.
He did a nice job for it being his first time getting a number of reps. There are some things he can continue to work on in the run game, getting to know how we do things up front. He ran hard, played hard and did some nice things that you probably wouldn't expect him to do after just playing two weeks here.
We're going to see how he does here in the next couple of days and how it reacts to treatment. It's that same type of pain that he's had. It's going to flare up. It's done that throughout his career and it's going to continue to do that. We just have to monitor it and see how he does.
We can do a better job there. We will continue to look at that. We have to do a better job.
It's going to flair up. It's done that throughout his career and it is going to continue to do that. We just have to monitor it and see how he does.
It's something I started doing at the college level. I did it for the offensive side at the college level and just continued it when I became a head coach.
I don't second-guess those things, ... If T.O. was available, I'd bring T.O. here. That's what I did, and I stick by that. Like with any team, there are going to be things that are said that you don't like necessarily, and you've got to work through those and handle it the right way. That's what we've done around here, and that's what we'll continue to do.
This should heal up. It may take six to nine weeks to get right.
T.O. came up big. That was a great play he made at the end for that touchdown. He's a great player who stepped up when we needed him.
There are always things that are going to happen, ... Anytime you deal with 88 guys, things are going to happen.
There are a lot of things we need to clean up before we get to the regular season. We just got to knock some of the rust off. There are certain things I was very happy with, and there are other things we need to polish up.
