adapting camp great guys jason job learn played playing position positions tremendous
Jason has had a great camp and has done a great job in every regard. He's probably one of the guys who has had a lot more to learn because he's never really played that position as a professional player. He's playing a combination of two positions right now, but he's done a tremendous job of adapting and making plays.
backs certainly circumstance everybody good guys job played position role special teams worked
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.
coaches define difference everybody greatest knowledge league people position putting strength success terms
Philosophically, I don't there's a lot of difference in terms of what we like to do. His knowledge of the league and being able to define things internally in the organization, so you have everybody on the same page, are probably his greatest assets. That and recognition of what people can do - the strength of players, coaches and people in the organization - and putting them in position where they can have success doing it.
anybody compete consistency efforts number opportunity performance position rather sage
I wouldn't say that he has been demoted. The way I'd rather say it is that Sage Rosenfels has earned, through his efforts and consistency and performance through this preseason, the opportunity to compete for the number two position, and he's been put in a position to do that. I don't think anybody has been demoted.
based best decision felt game manage managing opportunity position somebody
The No. 1 thing is we want somebody who is going to manage the game and give us the best opportunity to be successful. We were going to make the decision based on this position based on who we felt would give us the best opportunity to win, and managing the game is a really important part of that.

bad chance himself intercept position tackle trying turned
Reggie had a chance to make a play on the ball, ... In trying to intercept it I think he put himself in a bad position to tackle the guy. It turned out to be a big play.
position unfair
It would be very unfair to put it on that position when things aren't being done well around them.

I don't think it's just that position (quarterback),
available ball basically certainly develop developing game guys healthy heath help issues key nicely personnel players playing position quite ran running spots wrong year
They've had personnel issues at the running back position for quite some time. They are getting those guys back now and I think those guys are playing better and better. I think they're as healthy as they've been all year. I think that's the key to it. They ran the ball effectively down here. Heath Evans was basically playing tailback. I don't think there is anything wrong with their running game; I just think that they haven't had all the players available in all the right spots being healthy this year that can help them develop the running game more quickly, but it's certainly developing nicely now.
exhibition game needs
I think that he needs to play some, I really do. With only one exhibition game under his belt, he probably needs to play a little bit more in this game.
bites
There's an old saying, ... If a rattlesnake bites itself, it still dies.

He had a lot of tough yards out there.

I've looked at all of them. Just because you're on a diet doesn't mean you can't look at the menu, right?
