Brown playing more and more and more will help us to determine how we do that, but I think to speculate on that right now would be very premature.
Ronnie Brown is still day-to-day. He was better today than he was yesterday.
Right tackle has been somewhat of a problem. Us getting it together as a group with consistency has been somewhat of a problem that we need to improve on.
It's been wonderful. I really do feel like this was coming home to play a game and it was exciting for me even though I didn't say it (earlier). It was exciting to be back in Tiger Stadium and I feel really great that our team did a nice job to make us proud of how they played.
Lamar did a good job for us here. He worked hard. When you look at some of these circumstances, everybody has to have a role on the team. Some of the guys at that position are very good special teams contributors, and that certainly played a role in the backs that we've selected.
He has continued to do a good job every time he's been out there, ... and I think that's something that's got to be taken into consideration.
I know I speak for all of his teammates and the entire Dolphin organization in supporting him in any way we can in his future endeavors.
He's done a good job. He has minimized his mental mistakes. He's become a starter and he has played fast in the games and made some plays. We (will) keep working with him in hopes that he'll be able to execute on a consistent basis and continue to eliminate those mental errors that can get him in trouble.
I felt very much appreciated on the field today, ... There were a lot of people with Saints jerseys that were very nice to me in welcoming me back. I don't want to minimize the fact there was some personal adulation based on the reception I received.
It's not really true to (the Bears) character and nature in the past to do that (during an exhibition game), ... But I thought our staff did an outstanding job with adapting in the game. That's probably why we had more success in the second and third quarters than we did in the beginning of the game.
Right tackle has been somewhat of a problem,
Ronnie can do a lot of different things. Part of the reason we liked him was the fact that he had versatility as a player, with his size and blocking ability.
I think when you get everybody thinking that way, that's probably good.
Ronnie did some very good things, from a blocking standpoint, and made a couple of nice runs,
