Even though it might be game five, six, somewhere in that area, I think that gives him enough time (to return), unless there are setbacks. We don't know. We think in talking with the doctor he'll be fine. He feels good. We'll see when he gets up here and he starts doing some of the work.
The thing that I have is flexibility. Both my starting guards can also play tackle. My backup center can play both guard and center, so I have a little flexibility there with some guys that have a little more experience, not that they are the most experienced guys. But I am comfortable with that.
There's not a lot of good you can find in this game. Offensively, we were ineffective in everything we did. We didn't play with enough emotion on either side of the ball. We didn't start off well and we didn't finish well. It was an unacceptable performance in all phases.
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.
We had a couple of injuries and didn't play too well. We need to all be better, starting with me. That's the part that needs to be taken care of. Every individual needs to get a little bit better. Good things will happen when that takes place.
I think, by talking to the doctor, that he will be fine and he feels good. We will see when he gets up here and starts doing work.
He can play either side. He was a starter all his years at Georgia. When you see him, you will see he has a little size to him.
I have to give Pittsburgh a lot of credit. They beat us up in every phase of the game. Starting with the coaches, to the offense, to the defense, and then to our special teams. They were the better team today, in all phases.
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,
