Darrell had to go for a second opinion, so he's in Florida. And Bobby, he was getting treatment today and he can't move very well.
It was good that they had to pass the ball a lot in the second half. He didn't have to get up in there too much.
Our depth in the secondary was not good last year.
It was a nice second half. The team played very, very well, especially in the second half.
Now our second season starts. Fortunately we have a first-round bye, so we can heal up a little bit and get ready to play in the playoffs.
There are times when I become frustrated when we get second (down) and nine, ... (But) I was bound and determined today to stay with it.
On the second (run) we did not block very well. I tried to get more (yards). But I tried to get it with the run.
Where I am impressed even more with him this year is his pass protection,
Wow, great story. That's an area we have to look at, but he certainly has done everything we have asked him to do.
With the numbers he has put up, I think if you don't approach it at the start that way, you're making a huge mistake. He catches 14 balls, 12 balls, 13 balls, that's a lot of passes in a game. Clearly, they want him to be a big part of what they do. ... You better have some sort of answer for playing them or they can make you look pretty bad.
We are going to have to figure out how we're going to deal with a real strong receiver like that.
What we're asking him to do is difficult, ... A rookie middle linebacker calling the signals, there's nothing easy about that. His plate is full. But if anyone can handle it, of the young people I've seen in the last few years, he can.
We have played better than we did tonight. Unfortunately, it's the biggest game of the year.
We'll see, ... Joe, of course, has played, and Hackett hasn't played very much so we'll see. He has certainly worked hard to do this, and I have confidence in him. We'll see how it goes.
