I'm assuming that he will be in a decent place from a physical-conditioning standpoint, and it will take a little while to get him back to where he was. But he was in pretty good condition when this started and I think he's worked hard, and I think it will come back quickly to him.
If Sam can't play, it may make us make some other changes,
If you don't have an indoor facility, you've got to cut down the practice time in preparation for the game so the players can recover. Or you change the environment they do the work in, which an indoor facility allows you to do. It's really a player health and safety issue as much as anything.
I have total faith, trust and confidence in the guy, ... He's going to be a long-snapper for a long time in this league.
I really felt badly for the players, just about every one of which we recruited,
In the last two games the quarterback has been affected by what has happened around him,
He's still hard to block. He does a great job of using his hands. He still plays with a lot of power. He still can rush and block people back to the quarterback. He's very instinctive on the field -- batting balls down and making a lot of plays. I think the guy is an astounding player and I think he's had a really good year doing what they expect him to do.

I don't know if anyone will know who the legitimate national champion is, ... unless all three of the teams in consideration get the opportunity to play one other.
Before Scott joined the Dolphins, I considered him to be one of the most innovative offensive coaches in the league.
Certainly we have some things to do to get that to happen, and we would be pleased if we could make it happen.
He's an outstanding player who could line up and complement the things we do with our outside linebacker rush.
