We're pleased with how Kyle Orton stepped in and gave the offense a boost.
coming gets guys pick run running slack stretch trying until
We have a stretch run that we're coming up on and we need all of our guns, really, for that. And Cedric is a big part of what we're trying to do running the football. Other guys will have to pick up the slack until he gets back.
carried defense strength supposed
When you say the defense has carried us, that's what they're supposed to do. That's the strength of our team.
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.
gave kyle offence pleased stepped
We're pleased with how Kyle Orton stepped in and gave the offence a boost.
draft games guy happening kick plans running rushed unless yards
We know who Cedric is, and you don't draft a guy there unless you have plans for him down the line. But you have to go on what is happening right now. You have a running back who has rushed for 100 yards two games in a row. You can't kick him out of the house.
football game given improvement last lately played seen taste
We've seen improvement each day. And it shown, he's given us a taste of it each game that he's played lately the last two football games,

We've seen him (Hutchinson) all through training camp, so we really want to get a look at the other guys.
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.
adrian good next pleased running
Cedric is next in the rotation, but I was pleased with what Adrian Peterson did. He's a good running back.
