COACH ERIC MANGINI
RE: Update on quarterback situation:
Seneca Wallace and Jake Delhomme are both going to miss practice here today. And we’ll see how it progresses through the course of the week. We signed Brett Ratliff yesterday who was with us last year. He was with me in New York. He has a lot of experience in the system. And we have Colt McCoy. Those two guys will take the reps here today and see how it goes through the course of the week.
Is Colt McCoy the guy if Wallace and Delhomme can’t play? He’ll get more of the reps here, but I want to see how it goes through the week before having a definitive answer there.
How tough is it to coach with so many quarterback changes? ( "I consulted with Mike Tomlin". :heh:)
It’s challenging because we went into the season with Jake Delhomme as the starter. And then he was hurt the first game. Then Seneca came in. Seneca did a great job and did a great job during the preseason. But you do have to do some different things with him than you have to with Jake. Now with both banged up, you got to adjust to each guy that’s in. We do that during the course of the week, not knowing whether you’ll get to your two or three [second or third quarterback]. Things are catered to specific guys within the framework of the game plan, but you’d like to go into each game with an anticipation of who is going to play, and some continuity week in and week out..........
