There are things that we still need to do. There's certain things at stake and our guys understand that. Also, we need to keep improving as a football team. That's the mentality that this group has taken on. They understand that they haven't reached their peak.
We're happy to keep someone of Tom's caliber in Philadelphia. Tom has done an excellent job and it was important for this organization to have him continue in this general manager role for the foreseeable future.
We are counting on him being back. He worked his tail off this offseason to get himself in great shape. He is not going to fall out of shape that fast.
We are going through and talking about all that. It does concern me. I think that field position is a big thing. We can do better there, so we will look at that closely.
You don't let it be a distraction. That is not what you do. There are going to be things that happen and you don't focus on those things. You focus on getting the football team ready to play and you handle the other things up front the way we do it.
We're going to do what we think will get us a win.
We're going to see how he does here in the next couple of days and how it reacts to treatment. It's that same type of pain that he's had. It's going to flare up. It's done that throughout his career and it's going to continue to do that. We just have to monitor it and see how he does.
We have had success getting guys through here with this injury, ... I know it's magnified when it's your quarterback or a player of his magnitude. I understand how it becomes magnified, but we have a track record of being able to manage that injury, and we will see if we can't do the same. If he can't function at some point, we'll shut him down.
We normally do that if a player is playing his old team.
What we had to work through was he also was our nickel linebacker. So you?re looking at base personnel and nickel. Now, Mike came in and did a respectable job in there. We didn?t have to change much because of that.
The one thing the guys have done an inch more than last year was coming out and challenging themselves even more. I said this last year that they challenged themselves, but this year they have added onto that.
We can do a better job there. We will continue to look at that. We have to do a better job.
There are plenty of things to work on, but they gave a great effort.
We knew we were going to have to be patient and keep pounding it in there,
