I didn't listen to the whole interview, obviously. I don't think any of us did. I take care of those things in-house. I don't take it out to the public and do that. You guys know that. That's the way I'll handle this. It'll be in-house business. I obviously will address the player and those people that I need to talk to, and we'll work this thing out.
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.
You don't let it be a distraction. That is not what you do. There are going to be things that happen and you don't focus on those things. You focus on getting the football team ready to play and you handle the other things up front the way we do it.
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.
We'll handle this situation in-house, just like we always have. You guys know that.
We put him through a couple extensive workouts and he handle it very well. This is the first time he's kicked two days in a row. We feel good about him. We feel he'll be OK for Monday night.
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.
I'm sure (injuries) hurt him there a bit. He was battling through it. It was not an easy thing for him.
I'm sure everybody has their opinion on him. Obviously there are some guys that like him and guys that didn't like him. He doesn't get into that. Every week people try to taunt him.
In hindsight, ... I didn't look very smart on that one.
I knew he was hurt. It wasn't nearly as bad (Monday) night when he was playing as it was when he woke up (Tuesday) morning. It kind of stiffened up on him. He felt comfortable playing. He never said a word about it. He just went out and did his thing.
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.
I like Mike's mobility. It's important everybody does their job. The quarterback gets the brunt of it. I'm not going to point fingers. Everybody had a piece in it.
I kind of felt that way the last four years. You've got to bring your 'A' game. I know other teams are saying that about us. We've been getting everybody's best shot.
