Saying this is bigger than football and this is a chance for -- six what he has to do with his family -- Richard Seymour someone now who went through. Father lost his father's in the offseason but you know all players did their full support to that the expectation is that that he'll be around. By the end of the weekend -- and that -- be here for the -- Kevin -- obviously is a rookie and he's -- as the number one quarterback at practice which is going on now right now. And -- as the back -- all expectation would be that Cassel was here come game time but obviously. Much more important things on his mind right now is -- get ready for this week of practice.
