The guy is a heck of a football player,
A lot of young guys will have to play by the end of the season, ... I think that, for the most part, guys understand that changes are taking place.
All of a sudden, our punter and kicker now are going to be in a real game, a big-time football game, ... How are they going to react to that?
The first week, he practiced five days in a row, then we gave him a day off. This week was a little different ? one-a-days, now this. He knew it was coming. He knew it was going to be different. We're progressing him, watching him to see where he's at.
You can see him at times, certain things he has to do, he's thinking a little bit, ... When the game starts, I just think what he's going to have to do - and we'll help him - is just go back and throw it. Just drop back as fast as you can and when you've got to throw it, throw it.
You can see he really studies the game. He doesn't just walk out there and play. He waits for his opportunity to make the play and when you think he's not going to make the play, that's when he gets you.
You can score a lot of points and throw it, but if you can't run, you're not winning.
He can get it down the field, he did it with Dallas,
He actually told me what the player was trying to say. So I'll leave it at that. The player didn't mean to say we quit. We quit throwing the ball. That's what he meant.
I'm optimistic. I've kind of talked to him, but I'm waiting to visit with Chad when he gets here, sit down with doc and round-table with those guys. I rather talk to Chad face to face then through the phone.
He probably didn't get all he could on that kick.
It's my decision to make certain decisions, and I'm going to make them and I'll live by them, OK?
You're positive going into this game, and you're excited, but you don't know.
If he can play up to his expectations he'll play, if he can't, he won't.
