HEAD COACH LOVIE SMITH
“There’s so many things going on right now. I’ve known Mike Leach for a long period of time, and I heard he’s had some personal health issues. Kind of puts everything in perspective a little bit. Definitely praying for him and his family with that. Our game yesterday, we haven’t had a chance to digest some of the things that happened yesterday in the game. The guys played hard, fought, did everything that they thought they could do to help us win. We came up a little bit short though. As I said yesterday, offensively we were more productive yesterday. Our quarterbacks both played good football. Thought our (offensive) line gave us a chance with some of the blocking. Dameon Pierce, always runs hard. Some of the receivers that stepped up, Chris Moore was outstanding. Outstanding with his special teams play. Outstanding of course as a receiver. Amari Rodgers also getting into the mix. I like what those guys were able to do. We did some good things. We would like to have finished though. That’s what we didn’t do, had an opportunity late. Defensively, same thing. When Steven Nelson went down, Tremon Smith had an opportunity to play, and he was productive. Des (Desmond) King always plays hard. As I’m talking about a lot of the good things we did throughout the team with all three phases, against a good Dallas football team, but hopefully we can build on it, and eventually get over the hump and finish.”
Is there any concern that some of the injured players won’t be able to return this season?
“We have a lot of football left to go. Four games still left to go. You can get a lot of good work done in time. I know we have a great medical staff, and hopefully we can get some of the guys back. Some were close (to coming back) last week, Jonathan Greenard, Grayland Arnold. We still kept out a few. Nico Collins didn’t play. Brandin Cooks didn’t play. Derek Stingley didn’t play, so hopefully we can get some of the guys back. I don’t know much more right now…
