ball bit couple defense early function gets good guys late mark nobody stage turned
Nobody has done more at this early stage of their career, has done more than Mark has done. He's able to function. We just need him to function at a little better pace. He's a little late on a couple of throws, but he's making very good decisions. He hasn't turned the ball over in two days. You guys know how our defense gets after the ball. He's making good decisions. We just need him to make them a little bit quicker.
