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.
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.
One of the things that's pretty obvious is you can't get down by four touchdowns against a good football team like we did Sunday. We have to start faster. We realize we haven't done a good job of that this year.
When you get on a roll, like we have been on in the past, I would say that the concentration level is at an extreme. It needs to be better and the obvious things are the penalties. You have to focus in on those things, on the technique, concentrate on the snap count and make sure you are not lined up in the neutral zone and those types of things.
I take care of those things in-house. I obviously will address the player and those people I need to talk to and work this thing out.
He doesn't let all that bother him. Obviously there are some guys who like him and guys who didn't like him. He doesn't get into that.
We're obviously teachers. We try to teach our players and our coaches, learn from our mistakes and move on. We've got to right our wrongs and do better, and we all understand that.
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.
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'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're going to do what we think will get us a win.
We can do a better job there. We will continue to look at that. We have to do a better job.
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.
We feel that we have the quality to get the three points and we want to win the group.
