He's a tough guy, he wants to make the kick. He looks forward to helping us win games with his leg. When he goes in there, he has an excellent chance to make it.
He'll be in the flow of the game, we hope we don't get into a game that's 70, 80 plays. If he can get 20-something plays in, that would be great. We want to rotate those guys because it's going to be hot out there.
That's what they ruled, ... We still had chances to win the game after that.
I leave this game concerned just with how we played. Chad, he tried to force some things. He'll tell you that himself. He's harder on himself than anybody else.
Anytime you change offenses on a guy, that's tough. Chad doesn't want anyone to feel sorry for him. He understands what's going on. At the end of the day, he's going to be a very good quarterback in this league. He's going to win a lot. And he's won. He's won a lot of games here already. He's going to get better and we're going to get better as a team. That's my belief.
A lot of people look at the last preseason game as if it's not important. Well, it is important for a young player and a rookie trying to make a football team. Most teams have to cut down 18 or 15 players and bring eight of them back. So, I think it will be a very competitive game for the most part and I look forward to seeing these young guys play.
Obviously, if we don't win a game soon here, we're going to have a high draft choice,
The games are so close now a couple of fouls at the wrong time ... it'll get you,
You can see him at times, certain things he has to do, he's thinking a little bit, ... When the game starts, I just think what he's going to have to do - and we'll help him - is just go back and throw it. Just drop back as fast as you can and when you've got to throw it, throw it.
It's very hard to win games when you turn the ball over on the road.
If I was voting, and I didn't see all the games that were played, but he'd be my MVP as defensive player of the week, that's for sure. He was raising havoc out there, and I think he likes his new role.
Our mindset was to get him in the game to kick field goals and he did that,
