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.
He's very aware of certain situations that he doesn't want to put himself in. ... He's a different guy.
Hopefully, he can recover from it and he'll get back, ... You try to sit and try to figure out why it happened. You can't. Just part of the game, I guess.
They've got a chance to throw it in the end zone just before the half, ... Anything can happen. But they got a foul, so they couldn't do it. So they are sitting there and they've got to take a knee before the half. Those things get you.
It's tough, ... I've never been in a situation where you lose your one and two quarterbacks. . . . I hope this doesn't happen to any coach ever, ever, ever. It isn't a lot of fun. I don't wish this on any coach. It tests your faith.

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'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.
