We went through all that craziness with dropping the ball -- not just Darrell, but all the receivers. Now we're catching balls. I don't have a good answer for you (as to why).
Being the personal protector, blocker for Shaun Alexander and then look what Shaun has done.
Bobby has been so good to start this year.
The good news is with rest -- I believe and our medical people believe -- he will get better.
As soon as they make some arrangements, he'll know and I'll know. We have to see. That's the first thing.
At the league level -- and I sit on the committees that talk about this stuff -- they want to do everything that they can for the safety of the player, ... In warm weather, we really talk about it a lot.
Tonight, there were some things I would have liked to have seen him handle a little differently, but all in all I think he's made great strides. There were a couple of formation things and a couple of audible checks. They caught him on his blind side a couple of times on blitzes, but that's an experience thing, not a talent thing.
The other guys have to crank it up a notch.
We had a good practice. I was pleased. The enthusiasm and execution were pretty good.
We had a good game plan, and we wanted to come out passing the ball. Matt's not unlike a lot of quarterbacks who hit their first two or three passes and then are off and running.
We have a chance to do something new again here, this season, if we stay at it.
We talked through some of those things. We just had a really good talk. We've been able to communicate very well.
We said, 'Just stand over there and do what you are supposed to do.'.
My hope is, we'll have him down the stretch.
