I think that is a tough thing on everybody. They were two of my favorite guys on the team. I really think highly of them as people and football players. It came down to a situation where we made a decision not to go with them.
I thought offensively there was too much pressure on Donovan. We didn't do well on third-and-long situations and we can do better there. We had too many penalties at costly times during drives. I thought defensively we did enough there to win the game. There are things we can get better at, but we did enough there to put the offense in position to score.
We'll handle this situation in-house, just like we always have. You guys know that.
It gets pointed at McMahon, but it's not all him. Everybody around him, me included, needs to pick up our games and make sure we're running the routes the right way and we're catching the football. You can't have six or seven drops like we did Saturday. We have to protect a little better. I have to make sure I'm getting him in situations and the receivers in situations where they can do things.
I want this to be clear, ... This decision is a result of a large number of situations that accumulated over a long period of time. He's been warned repeatedly about the consequences of his actions. We gave Terrell every opportunity to avoid this situation.
It's bruised and a matter of it calming down. We are not going to put him out there in a situation where he could be injured.
It's a great situation for our football team, especially to add somebody of this guy's caliber into the mix.
That's how the superficial clot works. They end up turning into Swiss cheese. They break up, but stay in the same spot. They cover over with tissue so they don't dislodge and move in there. It's a stable situation and he's off of the blood thinners. The doctors are very optimistic about it and we will see how it goes.
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.
I do want to make it clear that this decision is the result of a large number of situations that accumulated over a long period of time, during which Terrell had been warned repeatedly about the consequences of his actions. Even with the activities that took place last week, we gave Terrell every opportunity to avoid this outcome.
I do want it to be clear that this decision is a result of a large number of situations that accumulated over a long period of time.
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.
