Obviously that's three too many penalties. We have to weigh the production of what (Whitticker) is doing compared to what he's giving up. Three pretty important penalties, so I have to consider that. Not to make excuses for a rookie, but he is doing some pretty good things. He knows his assignments, is a pretty physical player. I think he will continue to get better. That doesn't mean we're going to stay with him if this persists.
More Quotes from Mike Sherman:
It seemed like we were always stuck with a long field. As you move back in zones, the odds of scoring get worse and worse. But that was our own doing.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.

He looked OK. I'll make a further evaluation on him on Wednesday when we put the pads on.

Yeah, I thought Joey Thomas should have sat on the route a little better than he did. He drifted at the top of the route. He should have sat on that a little bit, played for a field goal, that was their best option and we kind of drifted at the top of the route and gave them that one.

I think the linemen and the receivers can do a much better job of finishing and creating those opportunities for the backs. Then again, it's also the backs as well. Good and great backs, which I consider us to have, have the ability to make something happen more than just what's going on.

The wind was not a factor on any of the missed kicks. I know the ball was spinning as they put it down on the first one. The second one, I don't know.
