(On today’s practice)
“This was a Wednesday practice. We’re trying to teach our guys about a regular, in-season Wednesday practice and these are always chaotic because guys don’t understand the scout teams, the changing of getting in and out of the huddle, the speed, the focus, all that kind of stuff. We’re trying to get them ready for Thursday night. These Wednesday practices before the first game attempt to teach all these new guys about game preparation and bring them along the best we can, so it was okay.”
(On G Jason Lenzmeier)
“Well, we’re down to just a handful of lineman, and with (G Adam) Timmerman out, we need guys to play.”
(On special teams coach Mike Stock)
“He has great attention to detail, is very thorough, knows what he wants, and is very decisive and demanding as to how he approaches special teams.”
(On RB Lamar Gordon’s surgery)
“It went very well. They had done everything but a CT scan up to this point, and they knew there was an abnormality but they couldn’t tell exactly what it was, so they scoped him. They found a loose bite in there that they were able to take out and that’s a great relief to all of us, and especially Lamar. We would expect him back in four weeks.”
(On DT Jimmy Kennedy)
“He had the surgery today, but I haven’t heard anything about it yet. I don’t know when the surgery was, but it was supposed to be done today. It was in Carolina and I won’t give you a time-table, but they were a little more optimistic that we initially were.”
