We normally do that if a player is playing his old team.
I did have a visit with him and it went well. We mainly talked about football. He was anxious to get back out here and get himself going and playing and catching up on the things that he missed. But he did a good job today.
We knew he was hurt, but it was not nearly as bad when he was playing as it was when he woke up (Tuesday) morning. It stiffened up on him. But he felt comfortable playing.
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.
You're going to think I'm crazy, but he is a pleasure to coach. He enjoys playing the game. No matter what phase we were in during this thing, he enjoys it. . . . I appreciate that.
You may think I'm crazy for saying this, but he is a pleasure to coach. He enjoys playing the game. No matter what phase we were in during this thing, he enjoys it. He loves it and I appreciate that.
I think that everybody on the football team has a lot of confidence in him. He's playing well, but it's not something new that he is doing now that he didn't do before. He is getting more of an opportunity now.
Jordan is playing well right now, and you better wrap him up because he is very strong.
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.
He did what a lot of players did. There are a lot of players who are hurt. He was just one of them today. That's part of playing in this league. You're going to hurt a little bit, and you've got to function.
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.
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.
I could have done a better job there. We take a lot of pride in playing good defense; the second half, we could have done a better job there. I probably could have put our quarterback in a better position the last part of the game, with some better protections, to help him out.
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.
