Most people listen to music and he's listening to me. I feel sorry for him.

It all starts with the running game, and we feel great about our depth there.
decision entire everybody playing smart wait
I don't know if I could say I see him playing the entire game. We have to wait and see how much everybody else is going to play before we make a decision on what Rex is going to do. We could always get him more time. But we have to be smart with it too.

Thomas is running tremendously well and, obviously, that opens up a lot of other stuff. That's a great defense we went against. We were watching film all week, saying, 'What are we going to be able to do?' But our guys accepted the challenge.
careful feels knows practice smart third week
We have to be careful. Eventually, yeah, but this is his third week of practice. We've got to be smart with him. We've got to be careful that we don't try to do too much, that we do the things that he knows and feels real comfortable with.
