was a little tight in the pelvis area. I think that was bothering him early. 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 about Donovan McNabb right there.
It felt good yesterday. Toward the end it started to get a little tight on him in the second practice. It's the same as it was the day before. We got to go back to the drawing board here, see how he does today, and then within the next couple days we will see how he's feeling.
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.

It tightened up a little bit toward the end of practice yesterday and I pulled him out of that second practice. He's just getting back in the swing of things. It's not near as bad as it was when he left but I just don't want to take any chances. It would be nonproductive.
Your drive and work ethic are second to none, and I love the way you rush the passer. But let's get something straight -- there's only room for one sex symbol in this locker room, and I'm that guy.
He did some pretty good things in the second half. He made some plays, both with his arm and feet. He was able to settle down and was efficient.
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.

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.
