His legs look alive; he's powerful; he's fast; he's tough, ... He's a very, very good back. He's really made a splash this season so far and I'm sure he has plans to continue that.

He played very well and certainly (is under) consideration to start this week.
frustrated games last length media missed people practices time took
I've read in the media that people were frustrated with the length of time it took Brett to come to this decision. Last I checked, he hasn't missed any pre-season practices or games yet in the 2006 season.
afternoon coaches concern defensive gone guy matter meeting per physically player quite scheme sure talk worked
It's just a matter of him getting used to what we're doing. I'm not sure we're there quite yet. I'm going to talk with the defensive coaches in my meeting this afternoon with them and just see where we feel he is. He's a guy that hasn't really gone through preseason and has not been in the scheme per se, as a player physically worked into the scheme. So, obviously, we have a little concern there.
backup biggest catalyst certainly couple defense difference drafted four good guys holes played year
They're the catalyst to the defense because they're so active, so disruptive. There aren't a whole lot of holes there. They've certainly drafted well and had good guys in backup roles. That's the biggest difference between this year and a couple years ago when they played with the same four guys.
drafted four high level rotation
They used to play pretty much with the same four guys. But they've drafted well there, so their rotation now allows them to play at a high level consistently, and it's really benefiting them.

certainly chance dinner fact gave good house invite might proud ways win
I might invite him over to my house for dinner tonight, ... He certainly still has some ways to go, but I was proud of the fact he made a good play there and gave us a chance to win the game.
call chance doctor muscle seeing
Flanagan has what they call a muscle hernia. Probably won't have a chance to play this weekend. He's seeing a doctor in Philadelphia today.
along coming fast football game mimic movements pushing surgery
He's coming along very well. ... I think we would be pushing the envelope, however, if we put him out there this week. He's made a very, very fast recovery. The surgery was a success. But, there's movements that you do in a football game that you can't mimic in a workout. So, we need to give this thing one more week.
confident mental physical practices ready six standpoint three
Diggs had three practices in six weeks, and I just didn't feel confident to put him on the field. Not so much from a mental standpoint as much from a physical standpoint that he wasn't ready to play football.
choice choices doctors held
I didn't have a whole lot of choices. The doctors have held (Hunt and Jackson) back, so my choices have been limited,
looked position
There was a miscommunication, from what I understand, on that touchdown, ... I have to look at the tape. It looked like we were out of position to make that play.
