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 feel bad from a team standpoint for Todd. He worked very hard this offseason. He was having a heck of a camp, and its a shame this happened.
He hung in there against some adverse conditions, in a loud place and hostile territory and all of those things. He hung in there and did a heck of a job.
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,
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.
Offensively, I have to do a better job on my side of getting this thing a bit more balanced up with the run-pass ratio, ... I'll go back to the drawing board and work on that and see if we can't do a better job offensively.
