I'm going to be careful with Walter. Let me put it that way.
In the NFC, I wouldn't care to guess who's going to be there at the end.
I get angry. I get happy. I get sad. I get disappointed.
I know they're not OK with it. I wanted them to keep their heads up. There's no need to apologize for anything. We lost the football game and we lost it because of the reasons you lose most games ... mistakes.
I know the club's position is we would like him to stay in Seattle. I think he should finish his career as a Seahawk.
I know that he's a better player than he performed on Sunday. And now, if he gets a chance to be the guy and start, I think you'll see the player that has done very well for us since he's been here.
I'm kicking it to our medical staff. If they say, 'No, he can't be there,' he's not there.
The good thing is that his injury has healed up.
The great players like Walter Jones, do they need all of training camp? Probably not,
You can take a little bit of a breath. There's no question about that.
The media day, it's pretty wild. They get their fill of that and they settle into a practice routine on Wednesday.
He bumped into me way too much during the game, so that is the third thing he's got to do, stay away from me, ... He gets kind of excited down there.
He brought the team back when it was kind of grim. When you see a quarterback do that, it always tells me something about the player.
I just can't afford to lose him with an injury as a backup quarterback.
