We liked him as a defensive end coming out. He played linebacker in Pittsburgh and we asked him if he was interested in putting his hand down and playing defensive end again and he liked that. We thought he was a heck of a player coming out of Florida State.
We'll go back through and look at all of it. We've got to look at ourselves first, if we're putting guys in the right position to make plays and did they make the plays.
We understand it's never as good as you think and never as bad as you think in this league. Mike Nolan's putting together a football team right now, working his tail off to get that thing right. He's got a bright future ahead of him.
I need to do a better job of putting my players in position to make plays on the offensive side of the ball. On the defensive side, I saw some good things.
I thought they played hard, but I thought there were too many mistakes. We had way too many penalties. You can't go backwards in the National Football League and expect to win football games.
I thought the effort of our football team was very good,
I think that everybody on the football team has a lot of confidence in him. He's playing well, but it's not something new that he is doing now that he didn't do before. He is getting more of an opportunity now.
I think, by talking to the doctor, that he will be fine and he feels good. We will see when he gets up here and starts doing work.
I think all three of them, Westbrook, Perry and Moats, are similar in a lot of ways. Not in stature, but all three of them catch the ball well. They all are very quick.
I think it was the stress throughout the game,
It gets pointed at McMahon, but it's not all him. You can't have six or seven drops like we did Saturday.
It gets pointed at McMahon, but it's not all him. Everybody around him, me included, needs to pick up our games and make sure we're running the routes the right way and we're catching the football. You can't have six or seven drops like we did Saturday. We have to protect a little better. I have to make sure I'm getting him in situations and the receivers in situations where they can do things.
It happened last year. He works through it and does a bunch of exercises before practice to get that thing loose. He will be fine. I think the more he continues to play and practice, the better shape he will be in and he will be ready to go.
I think they will be very conscious of him and it's important that we do spread the ball around. He is still going to have his share of big plays, but I think as we went on during the year, people understood that we were going to utilize him a lot and they tried to take measures to stop that. What it did was allow the other guys to catch a lot of balls.
