One of my obligations to the players is to make sure I'm looking out for their health.
More Quotes from Jim Mora:
If for some reason Matt plays, then I don't feel like our players will worry about it, ... For him to have some of the experiences that he has had, whether it is preseason or late last year or last Sunday, and having some success with that, it gives everyone a comfort zone when he is in there. Nobody goes, 'I have to do more' or 'We've got to do this.' They just keep playing.Jim Mora
He had a thumb problem in New England and seems to be just about healthy now. I'm glad that we were able to get someone of his caliber at this point in time.

It's tough. I'm not going to lie to you. It's very, very tough. Just like every team in this league, we all work hard. We put a lot into it and we've become obsessed with it for months on end. When it ends in a way -- especially when you have high expectations like we did, we do and we always will have -- it's difficult. But that's life, and you have to learn to get over it.
Jim Mora
In the cover two, cornerbacks squat at seven or eight yards, but the rules now say you have to hit them within five yards, ... You just have to be more conscious of when you hit them. You always teach, 'Hit them at five yards and carry them for a while. Find out how far they're going to let you carry them. Let them call it, and then we'll worry about it, you know what I mean' You have to find out what the parameters are going to be. This year, early at least, the parameters are going to be five yards. They're going to strictly enforce it.
Jim Mora
He looked good. He's light now. He looks quick, he looks explosive. I saw him deliver some blows to some guys, and he looked like a good runner.
Jim Mora
We can't stick him out there and expect him to play 60 plays versus Philadelphia, even if he plays versus Miami. Even if he was 100 percent healthy, had never been hurt, had never had surgery, that's a lot of snaps for a 32-year-old defensive end. It's a lot of snaps for any defensive end. You try to roll those guys through. I think he'll be ready to go. It certainly appears that way right now.
