Mike Sherman Last Quotations

I wished he could have played in the last ball game, he didn't feel that having been in the courthouse he was ready to play, he had missed three practices, so I didn't feel I wanted to put him out there at risk. But I felt in the first three games, he had opportunities to carry the football.

Certainly, last year walking off that field after the Atlanta game was one of the low points of my coaching career. It was nice to win this football game. That simple.

Finally, he told me he was having some pains in his upper chest, shoulder area, pains very similar to the ones I was aware of the last time, ... They ran tests, and they're going to run some more tests on him tomorrow. I believe he'll be OK.

I've read in the media that people were frustrated with the length of time it took Brett to come to this decision. Last I checked, he hasn't missed any pre-season practices or games yet in the 2006 season.

I'm disappointed I'm not the coach of the Green Bay Packers anymore. It's been difficult letting go of something you've embraced so passionately the last six years.

Hopefully by next week I'll be ready. He played in the last (preseason) game. I asked him how he was before he left (and) he said he was fine. That's all the knowledge I had on him.

He's in much better shape. We know we can count on him. Last year he got hurt and the weight was a factor . . . I believe. We know we can depend on him this year. He's come back and been very accountable and that's very good. He looks like a player.
