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.
Diggs had three practices in six weeks and I just didn't feel confident to put him on the field. I know he may disagree with that, but I just felt nervous putting him out there not having been through a preseason with him.
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.
