I'm going to meet with the doctors today. We are going to do the right thing,
Our depth in the secondary was not good last year.
He's a wonderful young man and a great football player -- let me say those things first,
I probably bruised him ... myself. I didn't think we played very smart on offense.
It's what we're shooting for. You've got to know that,
I told him sometime in the season we were going to be in the exact situation, and he was going to make it. And he did.
One of the differences to our start this year is they are catching the ball real well. It makes it fun. I'm sure it makes it fun for Matt because he has confidence he can go anywhere with the ball. And then I have confidence that I can call just about anything I want.
They know what's at stake. And so you don't have to talk too much about that. I have to be coaching the same way.
get out of town and ride my motorcycle for a few days.
I can't tell you how long it's going to be. The cartilage and scopes typically can be two weeks, guys come back in two weeks, sometimes it's longer. We just have to see how it is.
He's an outstanding special-teams player. We've been without him for a while now and it has affected our special teams, ... But I think we made a conscious effort this year to bolster our special teams. We have a few more bodies we can juggle around, but will he be missed? Certainly he will.
There were a couple of times we could have gotten the ball to Peter, and they probably would have been pretty good plays, and we just didn't throw it to him. He's going to get nothing but better. He's a good addition for us.
The next two weeks are absolutely critical for a fair amount of guys on the team because its very competitive in about four positions.
He's been like a breath of fresh air. He's really been great for our team.
