bit excited gotten jeff majority quite talking week
We're talking a lot about Kyle, but I'm excited about what Jeff will be able to do for us too. We will play Jeff quite a bit in this game. He will get the majority of the reps for this game. He hasn't gotten as many reps as Kyle, so this is an important week for him.
bad hit
We have a kicker that's hit some bad balls, and he has to get it right.
guys step
We had a lot of guys step up today.
field football goals good
We're a good football team, and I know we'll show that on the field this year. Our goals ... you know what our goals are. We're a good team, here are our goals, let's see what happens.
continue talk
We talk a lot about their defense, and I'm going to continue to talk a lot about our defense,
adrian good job line offensive plane running thomas
We get off the plane running the ball. Cedric Benson, Thomas Jones, Adrian Peterson all did a good job ... What can I say about the offensive line I haven't said?
backing continue guy rotation starter
We don't have a two-back rotation or anything like that. There's a starter and there's a guy who's backing him up who we would like to get plays. It will continue like this. We're going to go with our starter and we're going to try to get our backups in place.

We're pleased with how Kyle Orton stepped in and gave the offence a boost.

We're pleased with how Kyle Orton stepped in and gave the offense a boost.
awhile bit game leading means next north quite since talked trying
We're confident. It's been awhile since we've been 3-3 and where the next game means quite a bit. We're just trying to get respect. The NFC North has talked quite a bit about the records. But I see it getting better and I think we're leading the charge.
definitely stretch
We definitely think he can be a part of the stretch run.
coming definitely expecting gets guys injury pick run running slack stretch trying until
We definitely think he can be a part of the stretch run. That's why once you see an injury like that, you are expecting the worst. We have a stretch run we're coming upon, and we need all of our guns. Cedric is a big part of what we're trying to do running the football. Our other guys will have to pick up the slack until he gets back.
deal expect grown kyle played quite redskins rookie season starting though week
We expect to get blitzed each week. Even though I've said that Kyle has grown quite a bit, he's still a rookie quarterback. Everyone we've played has blitzed us quite a bit, starting with the Redskins (in the season opener). That's just a part of what we're going to deal with. We expect it each week and go from there.
brought good mindset supposed understood
We brought in good players, why should we be bad? We never understood that. We had the mindset that we were supposed to be good right away.
