The last couple of days I've seen it in a lot of guys' eyes to the point where you really have a lot of compassion.
There's a twofold purpose. Not just for bad weather but sometimes helping players recover.
There's an old saying, ... If a rattlesnake bites itself, it still dies.
They were all on the field. They all did some things, but they didn't participate in team (drills).
The further we get away from this, hopefully, the less effect it will have,
The competency and the chemistry that you can create certainly helps make for a good team. Those are the situations that we would consider relative to Terrell Owens.
This is only about the fifth one of those we've had this year. So it's not our first rodeo when it comes to these things, and we know how unpredictable they can be, and we know how dangerous they can be.
This is a great football game against a very good football team. A lot of character, a lot of heart out there today on both sides of the ball -- that's what makes it special, when you can persevere and come away with the win.
