He looked pretty good. We had some pad work in the first half of practice and we're going to pad him up again (today) and Wednesday. ... I think he should play in this game.
certain football healthy looked pads phases practice seven six team
What do you want me to do? Criminy, we've got to do something, ... We've got to get practice done. We need to get certain phases of our football team looked at, but when you only have six or seven healthy linemen, you can't go in pads for 21/2 hours.
cadillac couple deny drafted fact felt good looked michael mike practice productive smart takes williams
We feel like he did get a lot of reps on the practice field, we feel like we did play him extensively in the first couple games, ... He's a good back. Hopefully, he catches on with another team. You can't deny the fact that No. 33 (Graham) has looked very good here. We drafted Cadillac Williams , Michael Pittman has been a productive back here, Derek Watson is still in the mix, so when you couple that with the fact that Mike Alstott is also going to play the tailback position, we felt it was good for Ian Smart to look elsewhere. Hopefully, someone else takes a look at him.

I thought (our offensive line) handled the noise at times pretty good. I thought we had some careless errors - a couple of penalties, particularly in the second half - but those guys deserve a lot of credit.
good guys
