He's a little rusty, but he's still got to play, ... His rust is still pretty good.
He's fine. Nothing wrong with him, just sick.
Kevin's trying to do a lot of things in the right manner, and you have to really allocate your time when the season starts,
He'll be in the flow of the game, we hope we don't get into a game that's 70, 80 plays. If he can get 20-something plays in, that would be great. We want to rotate those guys because it's going to be hot out there.
He's got to get his mind mentally ready to play Kansas City. We know one thing: When he is healthy, we win games.
Our offense was very, very sluggish. We didn't play well and we didn't play smart.
Our passing game, we'll see. I think it will improve as we play, but I think you've got to establish the run in this league.
We all anticipate him coming back. When he's going to come back, at this point in time, it's not up to us. It's up to the doctors. It's no different than it was last year. He's on a program. To say he's going to be back when, when he's going to be throwing full-range, all that stuff, at this point I have no idea.
We thought we brought him along right, ... So happens to be all of a sudden now something is happening. I just think that's what we all understood, so that's what we did. That was the plan. We didn't jump to a conclusion. We had a plan and that was the plan.
We're in a situation where time is of the essence,
There are certain players that bring more to your team than just being a football player. If you're talking about Tony Richardson, he brings a whole lot to this team besides being a good football player. We're going to do everything we can to bring him back.
We're getting to the point where you don't say I'm an African-American coach. I'm just 'Coach.
We're going to have to make sure we do things that he feels comfortable doing.
We have to have a different mind-set - that was established today in our meetings, ... I think our players took hold of it and did a good job of practicing. It was a pretty fast practice, guys moving around where they were supposed to go.
