>> they're 2 and 0 because they played and they're a good football team. >> how concerned are you about the quarterback position, and how possible is it that jimmy could be ready to play as report someday. >> we're practicing, and filing an injury report depending on how it goes today. >> reporter: [ unintelligible ] diagnoses. >> i mean, he has been looked at and been treated. >> reporter: how difficult would

ready with such short notice. >> the texans are a great football team. and we're challenged in all three fac phases of the game. offense, defense, special teams, they can run, throw, kick, return. they do a lot of things with a lot of challenges this week. >> reporter: [ unintelligible ] new player type positions... >> certainly it has been done before. >> reporter: seems like any personnel decision that you make in that area would be dependent

>> depending on what is best for the football team. >> reporter: are you in the position where the health of the player -- >> based on what is best for the football team. the player's personal situation, his health always comes first. that's always first. that's not a football decision, that's a medical decision. football decisions are based on what's best for the football team. that's what we have always done and as long as i'm here, that will n we'll do what's best for the football team. >> reporter: do you have to get a decision on what the health position is before you juggle it? >> i'm a football coach, i'm not a doctor. the medical staff is the medical staff. i coach the team and medical people handle the injuries. it works out g.

>> i do what's best for the football team. let me put it a different way. i'm the coach, i do what's best for the football team. and i don't know why we can't understand that. >> reporter: what's the most important in terms of [ unintelligible ]. >> today is tuesday, the game's thursday night. >> reporter: [ unintelligible ] jacobi -- >> he has done a good job. he's a hard working kid. comes early, stays late. and he has improved steadily since he has been here after the draft. all the way through. >> reporter: would you expect jimmy to practice today.

>> reporter: you, in the past have gone with-[ unintelligible ] midseason game, is that going to be the case today. >> somewhat, yeah. >> reporter: already said the other day -- emergency quarterback, and i know he's not on the team anymore. >> we'll do what's best for the football team. >> reporter: coach, you're probably not thrilled with the sd considering the circumstances. >> whenever we're scheduled, we show up and play. >> reporter: it wouldn't be your choice though? >> we play 16 games, whenever we're on the schedule, we show up and play. we don't worry about things that we can't control. >> reporter: how is -- to you,

nose, and he's obviously a stout guy, very experienced player. very good at recognizing schemes. good player in strength. >> reporter: you said that -- looks good. and aside from health. >> a little bit more inside than he did last year, but he ay sometimes he plays inside with the pass rush, the dime scheme, and some of the base stuff, he plays the technique in their nickel before they get to their dime, early nickel if you will. so he has played more outside, but also played some inside, and he has played some in the 3-4, which i don't think he did that

of it. >> reporter: when you draft a quarterback, what are the qualities in particular that you look for? >> we have been talking about that for a week. i mean we talk about a lot of things for players. there's physical skills, there are mental skills, there's makeup, there's trades, there are a thousand things. >> reporter: was there one or two that stuck chose bursette? >> each player is a composite of all of the things that the player has. it's all part of the puzzle. it's a big mosaic. it's all put together. that's who the player is, and each player has his own. >> reporter: the biggest challenge for offense?

take the ball away. one of the best teams in the league this year, which i've had in the past. the challenge is always scoring points. that's the name of the game, what they have played for. so if they haven't given up many, i'm sure that it won't be easy to score. >> reporter: a lot of people are focusing on miller, he has had a great start, practice and timing. but practicing miller, i'm curious to see what you've seen practicing miller from his days at ohio state to now as a receiver. >> ohio state mainly played on the perimeter when he played quarterback, when he played receiver. so he played on the perimeter. very athletic, fast, big target, good hands.

the slot. he went out, so played for him. we saw him preseason, and mostly in the chicago game and in the kansas city game. he missed the >> you don't know --

practice. >> reporter: today? >> i don't know. >> reporter: [ unintelligible ] what have you seen with him in offense compared to -- >> a different ons, i mean coffee kubiack's offense is different than coach o'brien's offense. strong, big kid, stands in the pocket and athletic enough to run when he needs to. not the easiest guy to get down in the pocket. he's good with the d ball, and he has been really accurate. obviously the game runs through the quarterback like it always does with bill. check the line of scrimmage

he gets them into the good plays, and called like the screen with chicago. it was a call they scored the touchdown on. things like that. but making decisions, where it looks like the play he should have been going to. it's a good play. he's smart and he has a good command. good leadership and throws the ball well >> reporter: you mentioned some of the guys with the staff before. does it make it any easier to prepare, knowing some of the things -- >> it's like that every week, every week, there are players that were on our team, their team, or coaches. it's pretty much a weekly event.

we focused on what they do and what we need to do against it. and how to prepare best for the game. you know. that's -- it's pretty much the same conversation every week. challenging arizona or chris jones of miami. there's something every week. >> reporter: the first two weeks with the quarterbacks? team is kind of in the same boat. we're at 2 and 0, which is good. certainly a lot of things we can do better. we can coach better, we can play better. we can overall in different units execute better, collectively, and not just individually. we can improve fundamentals. we're all in the same boat with a lot of work to do. we're into the season, and we

story for everybody. no matter who the player is or what the position. i think everybody is where they need to be, and everybody is working hard and improving and we're getting better. a long way to go. >> reporter: the production? >> it doesn't matter what happens, this week, what we are worrying about, some of the game, it's getting ready for is >> reporter: the quarterback making a game-time decision? >> yes. >> reporter: i wonder about the preparation, what's necessary. >> today depend on the situation, a lot of things are possible, sure. okay. thank you. >> okay, ahead of the thursday night matchup with the houston

patriots head coach, bill belichick taking questions from reporters. bottom line, he talked about what's best for the team, and when preparation about jimmy graphalo, he took that hard hit against the dolphins. he said they don't call plays, and i don't do surgeries. he's the head coach of this team. and we strained his shoulder, leaving jacobi bursette to lead the team in the second half. again, we have the matchup coming on thursday night football. and he was talking about the fact that they need to do their homework when it comes to a houston, texas team strong on the defense. we'll have a full wrap-up on his

some of the injuries to the players, coming up in just about an hour on 7 news at noon.
