I can't answer that. There were times when to his credit he wanted to play and I wouldn't play him because of the injury. And then (it) finally got to the point where we ended up playing him. But we never put anybody on the field with the idea that they could hurt themselves in future games or years and that wasn't the case last year. But to his credit, he was chomping at the bit to play and we ended up playing him.
How many sacks did we have last week?
I'm going to call all those guys and hopefully give them some encouragement.
The good thing is you're playing in a bad division. The bad thing is you are in the worst division in the NFL and you're at the bottom of that division. But you still have 11 games to go. There's still a chance to do some good things.

You know one thing, he's definitely had a lot of experience. Playing in a Super Bowl, playing in the league so many years, he knows how to deal with crowd noise and he knows the offense. He knows all the reads. I just hope he can go out there and lead us to a win.
The main thing you have to do is go out there and concentrate on your job. When you're in the locker room or out on the field, you really can't worry about the outside issues that are going on. Winning also helps out a little bit. It makes you feel a little better. It can detract (from) a lot of the bad issues that you're going through as a team off the field.
I never believed people saying he wasn't a pocket passer. I saw first-hand from the sideline that year when he came up to Green Bay and basically sat in the pocket and picked us apart.
