“It’s not going to damage his development because I know who he is and, on the sideline, how he was,” Nagy said. “When he watches and sees, let’s see as we go through it what the whys are, whether it’s a protection or a timing element.

“He came and told us — it’s not necessarily going to be all right, but it’s things that we can get fixed that can make it all right. That’s what we need to go in and handle tomorrow.
