Opening Statement: It was a great win but also a devastating loss to our football team for obvious reasons. Tony has been my quarterback ever since I got into this sport. It is going to be tough to not see him out there on Sundays for the rest of the year. However, we are going to overcome this adversity together as a team. I was pleased with all facets of our team last week. We received great production from our running game and our defense finally played up to our standards. Getting Ed Reed back and his playmaking ability was a huge lift to our team.
How will you replace Tony Romo at quarterback? Following his injury on Monday night, my staff and I spent a lot of time contemplating our plan of attack. We evaluated every option, including trades and the waiver wire. At the end of the day though, the answer was already on roster. Matt Ryan is going to utilitze his bye week to develop a rapport with our receiving corps and will then take over our starting quarterback position. If you look at his numbers, they are actually better than the numbers that Tony has produced for us so far this year. I have complete confidence in Matt Ryan to get the job done.
As you are already aware, we picked up Ryan Fitzpatrick to play this week and to serve as the backup quarterback from this point forward. Ryan has progressed his point total in each of the four games that he has played this season and has put up some great numbers in a limited amount of time. He is facing a weak Kansas City secondary that we believe he will be able to exploit through the air.
What are your plans at the wide receiver position with Roddy White on a bye this week? We are still evaluating our options. We have brought in a couple of guys for workouts already this week and we have a few more scheduled for later this week. We are looking for the best fit for our football team and we're keeping all of our options open at this point.
How will you prevent your team from overlooking The Hail Marys after your big victory over them in your first game? We are playing a totally different football team this week than we played against in week 1 and my guys are well aware of that. Coach Tara Campbell has made some impressive moves this year to give her team a chance to win every time they step on the field. We have to give our best effort on Sunday to have a chance. Plus if you haven't noticed, the curves on their head coach are pretty hard to overlook.
How does playing against your wife affect your relationship? Not much. It's alwasy intense at our house. Everything we do is intense. We have a few friendly wagers on the outcome, but nobody is sleeping on the couch or anything like that.
What type of wagers do you have on the game? Are you a moron? Do you have a pair down under? Do I even need to answer this question? Let's just say it has to do with positions, and I'm not talking about on the football field!
