Mike Sherman Run Quotations

He looks like he has the ability to run between the tackles pretty well. I've seen him bounce the ball outside with some speed. I don't think he had many opportunities to be successful in the game. I think from what I've seen I've been encouraged by him.

Well, certainly it's limiting. How limiting? They've all run the run plays that we are calling. We've had to limit it going into this thing anyway in case this in fact did happen, so we prepared that way. But it does limit you some. I'd be misleading you to say it didn't.

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.

Finally, he told me he was having some pains in his upper chest, shoulder area, pains very similar to the ones I was aware of the last time, ... They ran tests, and they're going to run some more tests on him tomorrow. I believe he'll be OK.

That's disturbing, to say the least - our inability to affect two-deep zone coverage in the run game. We've never had that problem before. Certainly that was a problem in the game (Sunday), and will continue to be a problem until we effectively attack two-deep coverage in the run game.

We will not know his status for this weekend until later in the week. But as of right now, he will not run (Monday), obviously, and probably won't practice on Wednesday, but that still is uncertain.
