More Quotes from Mike Sherman:
Extra points Sherman said he was pleased with rookie Terrence Murphy on kickoff returns (27.0-yard average on two returns) and might give him the job permanently. Sherman also said defensive lineman Kenny Peterson might deserve more playing time. ... Sherman said in watching film and the TV copy of Sunday's game he still wasn't sure if Murphy caught a third-and-8 pass just before Ryan Longwell missed a 42-yard field goal midway through the third quarter. The pass was ruled incomplete, but while Sherman said he still would have kicked the field goal on fourth-and-1, the additional 7 yards might have made a difference because Longwell narrowly hooked the kick wide left. I didn't think it was worth a challenge, didn't have enough information to take a chance on it, ... It (was) a makeable field goal where we were.Mike Sherman

Sherman said the offensive line starters will remain intact, meaning rookie right guard Will Whitticker did not lose his job after committing two penalties, allowing one sack and one knockdown against the Browns. ... Safety Mark Roman also kept his starting job despite missing the tackle on Heiden's touchdown. He's only missed one tackle in two ballgames. Certainly, it was a big tackle (he missed). There's no question about that, ... But, he's not the first, nor the last.

I don't know what visual sign I gave Bob necessarily or anybody in regard to that, ... That was one of many things that you deal with. That was no more, no less, but it was pressing at that time.
