I think it's very important that we be able to get some work. It's valuable time right now.
Just trying to make a play, ... I was able to step up in the pocket, buy time and Reggie did an excellent job getting in the end zone.
There's no time to go wild. You have time to go wild in February. It's only about winning and moving on. Nobody was going wild early in the season when we were losing. So now, you just want to keep the ship moving.
This is a time to get better and we try to use this preseason as kind of a stepping stone to take short steps to be ready by the time the season comes around.
It's not hard at all. We're both able to do it. Let's just not blow it way out of proportion. We were able to go out for the first time this preseason and be able to get our chemistry and our timing where we want them to be. There's obviously still some time for us to work on that. We were both excited, if we celebrated together or if we celebrated with our other teammates, whatever it may be. We communicated in a way that was suited to both of us.
I think we're showing a progression. The offense is coming along. With the addition of having T.O. out there, we were able to do a little bit more, and it makes things exciting right now.

I think Reggie is a guy that is willing to do whatever it takes in order to help the team win. When you have that attitude coming in as a young guy, things seem to sort of fall into place for you. He's making the big plays for us, he has picked up the offense extremely fast and he is kind of just relaxed out there.

Patience and rest are key. Knowing how your body feels. You're the only person that knows how your body feels. The way of going about it is expressing it to your trainers and your coaches so you won't damage anything else.
But if you're coming off ACL surgery, you don't need to be having a press conference at OTAs. Every week? Really? It becomes a circus, a sideshow. It takes away from the focus of what those sessions are supposed to be about: the team.
The Jets tried this whole garbage with Tim Tebow and Mark Sanchez and it got them nowhere,
