behind fiction stand work
We stand behind the work as fiction and that it's good.
fight hurt needed ribs tough tried
His ribs were hurt. He's a tough guy. He tried to fight through it, but you could tell he was in a lot of pain. But he needed to rest. He really did, his knee, his ribs everything.
blocking game pass running toughest
That'll be the toughest thing blocking the pass routes. The running game will come.

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.

Not at all. That was our plan coming in. That is what we said we were going to do on short-yardage situations.
ask backs blocking change drop foremost fred good great guys job john leave looks run several steps
John and Fred did a great job. They did an outstanding job. I thought our backs did a real good job of helping. You're not going to leave (the linemen) blocking them one-on-one all day. The backs have to get involved. You have to change up your protection. You can't just drop back several steps and ask those guys to block them all day. You have to run the football, which is first and foremost with us. And then you've got to change up the looks and the protection.

Before we showed him the pictures (on the sideline), he'd tell us what happened.

I think they're going to concentrate on stopping the run, which is what they do.

He did a nice job on that. As soon as we called it, he saw the safety come up and he recognized it.

He obviously is not going to play this week, and from there beyond that I really don't know.

His quickness with getting rid of the football, his quickness with decision making. The normal things that a young quarterback needs to work on.
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.
area exactly hard looking receiver slot tight type
We're looking hard at tight end, and we're looking hard at a slot receiver type of guy. That's exactly the area we're looking at right now.
