As I said earlier in the week, Corey's a good player and his personality fits very well in our locker room. He's a talented player against the pass and the run. We're happy to take this step to keep him in Philadelphia.
I expect them to step up and do a nice job. I always tell them that you just focus in on your fundamentals and until you get the feel of it, you focus in on that football, run the routes the right way and you will be fine.
T.O. came up big. That was a great play he made at the end for that touchdown. He's a great player who stepped up when we needed him.
It's sad to see, because Correll came in in great shape. It was kind of a crazy one where no one really hit him. He just made a plant and the thing went out. But we've always kept our heads up. We understand that's going to happen in sport. So the next guy's got to step in and do a good job.
You see guys that make a play and then miss a play. I've seen most of these guys for at least two years, some three and four. I know what they're capable of doing. It's important that we step up and do a better job.
They were criticized a little bit, rightly so. They stepped their game up and that's what good players do when they're put in that position.
You can't worry about all those things, ... We've always said the next guy has to step up and that's worked for us.
I'm optimistic about the chance of those guys playing. If things don't work out where they can't play, we've always moved on and the next guy steps in and does his job.
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,
