They made big plays on third down and that's what hurt us, ... If you just stop one of those, they're off the field.
You need to make some plays to get energy. We haven't made enough big plays on either side of the ball. That's what happens to teams that are losing. That's what's happening to us.
It's just stamina and being able to play at a consistent basis for a longer period of time, ... That's due to his offseason conditioning and preparation. That's good. He's a good player. We want him to play more than five or six plays in a row. We want him to play 10 plays on a 10-play drive, and he's been able to do that. He's taken advantage of his opportunity.
Ty Law, all of a sudden, is going to start. Is he in shape to go 77 plays? I don't know that. How many plays can John Abraham play? I don't know that. . . . I don't know if they're concerns, but I haven't seen it live.
Ty Law all of a sudden is going to start, ... Is he in shape to go 77 plays? I don't know that. John Abraham is going to play. How many plays can John Abraham play? I don't know that.
He'll be in the flow of the game, we hope we don't get into a game that's 70, 80 plays. If he can get 20-something plays in, that would be great. We want to rotate those guys because it's going to be hot out there.
I mean, John is on the phone with me for 20 minutes trying to explain what the guy was trying to say, ... He said it the wrong way, whatever. I believe Fox and I believe the kid.
I mean, he's a little bit bigger, obviously, than Santana, so he's a little bit more physical. He had real good chemistry with the quarterback the year that he was our MVP, and I just think that's something that him and the quarterback have always had. They have just had that feel.
It's something Wayne's going to have to determine with the doctors, ... He's going to have to make a decision on what he wants to do. It's always the player's decision at the end of the day. The medical people can advise people. Wayne's at the point of his career where he's going to take a long hard look at what he wants to do.
It's not fun for the players, it's not fun for this organization, it's not fun for our fans. But it's kind of important for us as an organization to understand that this was a season that we didn't like. But as I've said many times, it's not a condition. It's a season. A new season will start for us, the 2006 season.
That is what a playoff team looks like. There is a reason they go to the playoffs every year and have won three world championships. They got off to a fast start.
I'm going to be here, as far as I'm concerned. At this point right today, I'm going to be here.
I'm not going to bring anyone in here who's going to distract the football team and not give us a chance to win the championship. That's where it stands. I haven't talked to him.
I'm not listing his as anything yet because I don't know what the tests are. Once I know, I'll let everyone know. I don't hide injuries.
