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.
Offensively, I have to do a better job on my side of getting this thing a bit more balanced up with the run-pass ratio, ... I'll go back to the drawing board and work on that and see if we can't do a better job offensively.
We limited his reps, but the reps he was in there, he did a nice job. He worked it today (Thursday) and we've got to see if the swelling stays out.
We will see. I am not going to prophesize to you. I am not that good. I am going to tell you that we are going to work as hard as we can and do the best we can. We will find that out when it?s January and February.
We put him through a couple extensive workouts and he handle it very well. This is the first time he's kicked two days in a row. We feel good about him. We feel he'll be OK for Monday night.
What we had to work through was he also was our nickel linebacker. So you?re looking at base personnel and nickel. Now, Mike came in and did a respectable job in there. We didn?t have to change much because of that.

I didn't listen to the whole interview, obviously. I don't think any of us did. I take care of those things in-house. I don't take it out to the public and do that. You guys know that. That's the way I'll handle this. It'll be in-house business. I obviously will address the player and those people that I need to talk to, and we'll work this thing out.
Obviously, we cannot do it like we have been doing it. We have to get better as players and coaches and I have a lot of trust in both the players and the coaches. We will work very hard and make sure we get it together and do a better job.
T.O.'s a good person. I'm concerned about when T.O. and I are face-to-face and talking, ... Things happen in this business. You work through it, and that's what we did.
We just have to see how it works out in the next day or two. When you deal with that area, you have to take all the precautionary measures.
We wanted to score a touchdown. That's what we were shooting for so we wouldn't have to worry about that other part. It didn't work out that way.
It's the hardest part about my job. It's hard to release a player. As a coach, you want your guys with you forever. But it doesn't work that way. I understand it, and the players understand it. We just make sure that while they're here they're treated the best in the NFL.
