ON THE CONDITION OF BRIAN WESTBROOK'S KNEE:
What he said: "We'll see how it goes. I really think it will be day to day and week to week. There's a chance [the swelling] stops. And there's a chance it continues on. There's no set answer."
What he meant: "Brian and [trainer] Rick Burkholder are flying over to Lourdes tomorrow. He should be as good as new by Sunday."
ON THE CHALLENGE OF GETTING UP FOR THE SAINTS AFTER BEATING THE COWBOYS:
What he said: "The one thing that helps is the Saints are a real good football team. They're 4-1 and very well deserving of the record they have."
What he meant: "Hey, if that kid from Toledo was able to complete 20 of 31 passes for 225 yards against them Sunday, imagine what kind of numbers Donovan should be able to put up this week."
ON DIRK JOHNSON'S INCONSISTENT PUNTING AGAINST THE COWBOYS:
What he said: "He'll get it straightened out here. He's working through a couple of things."
What he meant: "We didn't give him that big bleeping contract this summer to hit 33-yard punts with 2-second hangtime. He'll get it straightened out. Or the Frankfurt Galaxy will have a new punter."
ON THE 14-MINUTE TIME-OF-POSSESSION DEFICIT IN SUNDAY'S GAME AND THE FACT THAT THE EAGLES' FIVE SCORING DRIVES AVERAGED JUST THREE PLAYS AND 63 SECONDS:
What he said: "It's not like basketball where you play the four-corner deal. When and if you can score in the NFL, you want to get as many points up there as you can. On the one hand, your defense is out there a little bit longer. On the other hand, we'll take those touchdowns any way we can get them."
What he meant: "Hey, if you want ball control, go cover the guy on the other side of the state with the big jaw. I'm into shock and awe."
