Turned the ball over five times in a row, that's one, OK?
We wanted the shotgun and it was on the ground. I said that from the beginning. You do the shotgun, which is great as long as it does not go on the ground.
We've had opportunities late in games this season, but we haven't been able to quite get it done. We have to get better on the road. We have two home games left. We can win those and give us some momentum.
Well, I don't know if he struggles. I think at times if we don't clearly pick up the protection or if we can't beat the guy that is guarding us. ... Sometimes they got a good player guarding us and they make the play.
We wanted Donnie to follow his heart and this is best for him and his family. He provided us with three solid seasons and he's a class act on and off the field.
We want Chad to be the quarterback, but Chad knows he's going to be competing for the job. He's been told that, he understands that. That's going to make him better and whoever comes in here, that's going to make him better.
We want celebrations, but we don't want it where you cross the line. These guys are creative, and they'll come up with some stuff. But I don't like it where you embarrass the other team.
We like what he's done. He makes some errors, but all young players make some errors. The thing about him is that he is playing the left side and that's big when you can find a left tackle that you feel can play the position. That's a plus for us.
Every time he steps underneath the center as a young quarterback, he's going to experience some things. Obviously, this is one he doesn't like, this one the team doesn't like. It's a maturing process for him. He'll grow from it. We'll all grow from it.
At this point, it's 2006, and we got our first win of 2006. It's something to kind of laugh about, but it's important for us to point this organization in the right way. ... Like I have said many times, it's not a condition; it was just a season. It's over for us.
At this point I anticipate he'll be out for the season,' ... Jay Fiedler, at this point, I don't want to say how long it will be, but it could be a season, also.
We'll have our work cut out. On top of that, it's on Monday night. We've got to get us a win.
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 have to figure out how to protect these guys.
