No. 1, it's not always a Cover 2 defense. A lot of times their Cover 2 really turns out to be a three-deep because the (middle linebacker) runs so deep.

That kid is remarkable. He's going to give people fits. I really think he is a dynamic quarterback. He can throw really well on the run, and that's their game.

It's hard to play man-coverage on him because there's no one to contain him.

Dave Wannstedt

They blocked us, there's no mystery in that. I didn't do a good enough job of getting these guys ready ? they must have been reading the newspapers too much and that's my fault.

We wanted to blitz them, but we could never get them to third down.
