Mike Sherman Coming Quotations

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.

He's coming off a very, very severe injury. He's farther ahead physically, as far as playing through it, than I thought he would be, ... You consider it was less than a year ago that he was laying on the field at Lambeau, and we were wondering whether he can play again. There's a lot of things involved there.

Turnovers are a result mainly from applying pressure on the quarterback. Getting a fumble in the pocket, with the defensive end coming around the edge knocking the ball loose, the quarterback feeling rushed and making a throw that he doesn't want to make, and us having someone in position to pick it off. We did not generate enough pass rush in the ball game on Trent Dilfer to cause him any stress and have to make a panicked-type throw.

I'm waiting for him to come off the plane, and he comes off in a wheelchair. I'm in the tank, and he's picking me up, telling me, 'Hey, Coach. Don't worry about me, I'm going to be fine. I'll be coming back from this thing faster than anybody ever has,' ... This guy does have a single-minded focus on things of this nature. When he puts his mind to something, he usually gets it. So, I can see him coming back from this, very much.

Everybody's competing and working for the job. We're going to go through this week, and we have a game coming up to make further evaluations.

They're improved, but they're still coming at costly times. I think we cut them in half, but still, penalties are still costly. They're not doing it intentionally, but it's not acceptable, either.
