From the coaches to the players, everyone was embarrassed about Monday night. They weren't going to let that happen again.
I blew it. I called a route that I shouldn't have. I should have put all of the receivers in the end zone and I didn't do that. That won't happen again.
T.O.'s a good person. I'm concerned about when T.O. and I are face-to-face and talking, ... Things happen in this business. You work through it, and that's what we did.
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.
It's sad to see, because Correll came in in great shape. It was kind of a crazy one where no one really hit him. He just made a plant and the thing went out. But we've always kept our heads up. We understand that's going to happen in sport. So the next guy's got to step in and do a good job.
It's an unfortunate setback for Jerome. It's a shame because he's worked extremely hard over the past several weeks to return to the practice field. After today's events, that obviously won't happen any time soon. We wish him all the best in his recovery from this surgery.
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.
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.
We just have to keep an eye on it. It happens once or twice a year, so we will keep an eye on it. His weight is down and he really is in good shape, so he will bounce back.
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.
