There are times when we are getting an outstanding performance from the running back. There are times when we are getting a hat on a hat to finish a block. We just have to do it more consistently. ... It's just a matter of execution on a more consistent basis from the entire unit.
We have no intention of moving or trading Jason Taylor .
We have to get the kind of execution at quarterback that will give it to them.
