We were approached by his agent at the Senior Bowl. We visited - a very short visit. We haven't heard from his agent at this point in time. I haven't heard from Terrell.
We have to have a different mind-set - that was established today in our meetings, ... I think our players took hold of it and did a good job of practicing. It was a pretty fast practice, guys moving around where they were supposed to go.
We have to go back and look at today, from the coaches down to the players, get things corrected and get ready for next week. It's one game. You hate to lose a game, but at some point, if you lose it, you lose it. What we have to do is get our confidence back.
When I got the job here in New York, there were a couple guys who were supposed to be the favorites. You don't worry about that. If you get your day in court, you go in there and talk to them.
The plan right now is for Brooks to be the starter. You've got to let the poor guy play, see what he can do.
We haven't been very good on the road, and I don't know what's contributing to that. We've handled it the same way. We just haven't done the things that you have to do on the road to win. One of them is you've got to get the crowd out of it. We've always been behind, and that's a little bit of our problem, too.
The problem with that is you've got to win. You can't expect teams to keep losing. There's some teams in the division that are good teams and we can be a good team, too, but we're not playing consistent enough to be a good team.
There are a lot of bad stats this year.
When we first watched him in college, we knew he was an athletic guy who could make plays. We liked his ability to play in space. We always felt that that he was getting better and better, so we liked him from the beginning. (He's) become a pretty great player for us, a good sub guy that really can play all three (linebacker) positions.
We're going to have to make sure we do things that he feels comfortable doing.
We did it looking at what was best for the players and best for the team.
We don't know where he's at, ... He's been a work force, he's been a guy that's always answered the bell. We'll see where he's at.
