Playing smart was a big emphasis this week, ... and we still had a number of penalties. That's still a real concern.
Patrick stepped in there and did a heck of a job. And I don't know if you can say enough about Santana.
Patrick is going to see that he made some real good things. He hit some deep balls and made some key plays for us, and that's partly what I'm referring to. And then he turned the ball over. We can't do that and Patrick knows that.
Pass protection didn't look good, and we looked sluggish. Anytime you don't do well it's a concern, but it is the first time out and we had a lot of people in there.
Part of playing the game of life is you're going to have some losses.
For us it was just hard-fought, ... We fought hard all day and kept slugging. That's about all you can say from our side. I was proud of our guys, because they had great heart like that.
If we lose the game, we're not going anywhere. So my mind-set is on one thing, Philadelphia. That's the way I feel about it.
If that took place, we understand the penalties. We understand somebody being taken out of the game. Sean is so valuable to us. I had a long talk with him afterward, and he understands that. He's all football. He wants to play. He's one of our leaders. He's had an outstanding year. He's very valuable to us. We can't afford to lose somebody like that.
He's had a big learning curve, and we want to play him more than what we did the other night, ... has got him scheduled to play more. He's a very good athlete, and he also can carry the football, and at some point here I'd like to get him a few carries and kind of see what he looks like there, too. But I think it's just a work in progress, and we're working really hard with him.
He was a real thin, real great-in-shape guy, ... Our heart goes out when something like that happens. You usually just imagine one of our guys. It just devastates everybody. It's a huge loss to everybody.
He was a lot calmer and sure of himself. Ann Coulter is an extremist, and she would not even look at the other person's side, but he looked at every topic he talked about from every angle.
I always think it's ultimately my responsibility. I always start with myself. I haven't done a good job if we play a game like that. . . . You tell them, 'Here's the good, here's the bad.' It's a common-sense thing. This was disappointing for all of us.
He will oversee and direct the offense. It will free me up to do some other things.
He has a bone bruise, plus he has a chip, which we cleaned out. We sat and talked to Brandon a long time. He is super important to us. We decided it was probably best for the team and for him, rather than to try and rush him back, to put him in IR.
