Early in the week, you kind of lose your sense of perception. It was nice (Wednesday) to get back on the football field and gear back into what's important. In season, you get into such a routine. All of a sudden that changes.
Logging 15 or 16 games in a row will get them physically and mentally worn out. At the end of the year, you have to be more careful because they reach an information overload.
From what I've talked with him when we've been on the practice field, yes. He's seen some things. He's talked about some things. From that standpoint, he's been good.
There's only one job out there right now.
We sit in the room as a staff, everybody has input, we have our arguments, we have our fights.
We've been pleased with what we've seen in some of our pass-catchers, ... I think, once they all get their timing down, we have a chance to make some plays in the passing game. Ben is working well with those guys.
We've kind of gotten into a little bit of a rhythm the last four weeks, more us. That identity was one that was very good for us last year, and we've been operating pretty good with that the last month.
We'll have to evaluate that based on Jerome's injury and after we've looked at the tape.
We've had a couple situations in a game where we wanted to get him the ball, ... But, for whatever reason, the coverage hasn't worked out right and we've had to throw the check-down or we got blitzed on the play.

We had the protection and we felt good that the protection was going to hold up. It was funny because we ran it in practice the other day and it worked almost exactly like that.
We felt good about the line going into the season. Then we had some problems.
We didn't have a set number of pass plays, but we did create an inventory we could pull from each week.
We ran the play at a walk-through on Saturday and we had to kind of walk through a couple things with it . . . . But we thought we'd have one guy left (open) out there.
