Mike Sherman Gets Quotations

No, you don't expect the mistakes to come from the guys that you've always been able to depend on. Sometimes it gets to the point where guys are pressing a little bit too hard. That may be the case in regard to Favre.

We took shots down the field, but they have to be open shots, ... When they're playing your vertical routes, it gets tough. You can't force balls. When you force balls, you have interceptions. We sent vertical guys down field. Missing a player like Walker, there will always be a what-if. But we still should have been able to win this game.

To be honest with you, he's reluctant to go to the hospital to begin with. The symptoms were exactly the same as (last year). And we made him go to the hospital, which is ludicrous for him not to go. He gets there, they run some tests, the tests are negative. He wanted to come back here, so he signed himself out of the hospital. They weren't done doing the tests.

This guy is not someone who is easy to get down. I knew we would be in position but he gets contact plus 2, 3 yards. I was very pleased how we gang-tackled him and not allow his second effort to move the pile.

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.
