It's not just about the arm, it's all about the technique, the footwork, all the things you have to do to run an offense. He didn't practice (in training camp). I mean, practice is practice. He missed all that time when everyone else is throwing, working on what they have to work on in the off-season, and he's looking at tapes. Every snap is important to this guy. He understands his position. He understands what he has to try and do.
If God doesn't give you a real, real strong arm, and you have to stand there and throw it, you have to use your legs, ... still is finding his way in the offense. ... He missed a lot of time in the spring and he's playing his way through it.
I get questioned for third-and -5, running the draw, trying to tie the game up before the half. I'm going to answer all those questions between now until the end of the season. I understand that. But the same scenario, they're on the 27-yard line, they missed a field goal. How about that?
He actually told me what the player was trying to say. So I'll leave it at that. The player didn't mean to say we quit. We quit throwing the ball. That's what he meant.
John's on the phone with me for 20 minutes trying to explain what (Lucas) was trying to say,
Some people get enamored with a person's lifestyle,
He's going to play right away. That's what we drafted him for.
I'm optimistic. I've kind of talked to him, but I'm waiting to visit with Chad when he gets here, sit down with doc and round-table with those guys. I rather talk to Chad face to face then through the phone.
It's tough, I anticipate he will be out for the season, ... I've never been in the situation where you lose the No. 1 and 2 quarterbacks in a span of seven plays.
It's tough, I anticipate he will be out for the season,
I'm not listing his as anything yet because I don't know what the tests are. Once I know, I'll let everyone know. I don't hide injuries.
I think Brian is on his way, I really do,
You can score a lot of points and throw it, but if you can't run, you're not winning.
I think you can see that he's getting the feel for it again. It takes a long time, even for a veteran guy like that. People don't realize that he changed systems, and that's very difficult without a training camp.
