I don't think Jeremy had both feet on the ground when the ball came out.
I don't know how good we are yet. That sounds odd, I know. But we're still finding out some things about ourselves. We were fortunate.
I don't know. I honestly don't know. That's one of the reasons we're taking this trip. Kathy listens to me and understands me the most, and that's why we're doing it. I'll have a better idea of what's going on after we come back.
Honestly, when Bill and I visit, we don't talk about football as much as we do about our families. He tells me about his three daughters, I tell him about my four daughters. We're both very proud of our daughters. We've both been married to our wives since college. What it shows to me is, even though this business can be difficult on families, we've got strong ones.
Honestly, there was some discussion on our coaching staff as to who really should continue being the starter. That was a real thing that happened. They were kind of different types; Mark was a little more steady early on than Brett. There was something appealing to a coach about that. Clearly, I had a decision to make.
For the playoffs, we'll be OK. Now Sunday, I've got to go in and start counting heads here a little bit. We'll see.
I can't tell you how long it's going to be. The cartilage and scopes typically can be two weeks, guys come back in two weeks, sometimes it's longer. We just have to see how it is.
I cant tell you how long its going to be, ... Cartilage scopes typically can be two weeks, sometimes its longer. So we just have to see how it is.
He told me, 'I feel better,' ... He has his conditioning and he doesn't get as winded as he has a little more stamina and strength.
He's worked very hard. He's bought in. He hasn't given up when it seemed a little grim at times in the last couple of years.
He's an outstanding special-teams player. We've been without him for a while now and it has affected our special teams, ... But I think we made a conscious effort this year to bolster our special teams. We have a few more bodies we can juggle around, but will he be missed? Certainly he will.
I am very pleased to announce that we were able to raise over $190,000 for Northwest Medical Teams tonight for people in the New Orleans area. A football game seems rather trivial when you consider what those folks are going through.
I asked the team if it was OK if we give Ray this week's ball, and they were very happy to do that. He was upstairs, and he minded the doctors' orders, pretty much.
I am very, very happy for Matt. He has been through a fair amount and emerged as a very fine player and a leader of this team. He has done it the old fashioned way. He has worked hard to develop his skill.
