He's a big target and catches everything. As a quarterback, those are the guys you like. He's got a chance to help us win big around here and has a chance to break some records because we're going to be firing.
He's a good runner. He gets his pads low and he's hard to tackle. He was player of the year in the state of Washington a couple years ago, so he's a good, solid back.
He said if it comes down to going for two early in the game, don't do it.
He's just going to play through it. We're going to stick with him. He's OK. Hopefully he can learn from it. That's what you almost have to do -- let a young guy go play and learn from this. He's got a lot of potential. But we can't ask him to throw 50 passes every game. That's for sure.
He can still play much better, that's what's encouraging. When he does it right, he can make all the throws.
He can run out of trouble, has excellent mobility. When the protection's a little suspect, like it is right now, he'd give us the best chance to win.

He kicked well in practice. We had to make a decision between him and Brett last week. Brett was healthy, so we went in that direction. But we were ready to go with Tuthill. We have a lot of confidence in him.
He knows our offensive about as well as anyone I could hire. He doesn't have a lot of experience coaching, but he's got a lot of experience in our offense. So I felt like he was certainly well qualified.
He is real sensitive to some of his colleagues in college, when a lot of people are saying he's going to get this job or that job. He doesn't want to be out there in August talking about that.
If something happened that I pursued it and went after it, I would be trying to redo what we did in 12 years,
He's had a wonderful career here, a good guy who has played well. He's had a wonderful attitude all the way through. He's an upbeat, positive young man who is fun to be around.
I always liked visors but the sun hits you from all sides, and with this, you can really cover up,
