Offensively, I have to do a better job on my side of getting this thing a bit more balanced up with the run-pass ratio, ... I'll go back to the drawing board and work on that and see if we can't do a better job offensively.
Everybody is a big part of that. We need to do a better job blocking and make sure we hit the holes. Everybody has a piece of that.
I think I could have called his number more. We are better when we spread the ball around; I think Donovan hit 11 guys. And we are better when that happens, because it has more of an effect on the offense. I didn?t do a good enough job in that first game of mixing it up.

What we had to work through was he also was our nickel linebacker. So you?re looking at base personnel and nickel. Now, Mike came in and did a respectable job in there. We didn?t have to change much because of that.
I wouldn't take anything away from Andy, either. He's doing a nice job and that's the reason why he's still here. He's shown some things, too, as a receiver.
I have great respect for Dick Vermeil. He has watched over me and took care of me since I took the job here. They are coming off a tough loss to Denver and he will certainly have that team prepared.
One of the things that's pretty obvious is you can't get down by four touchdowns against a good football team like we did Sunday. We have to start faster. We realize we haven't done a good job of that this year.
I did have a visit with him and it went well. We mainly talked about football. He was anxious to get back out here and get himself going and playing and catching up on the things that he missed. But he did a good job today.
We're happy to keep someone of Tom's caliber in Philadelphia. Tom has done an excellent job and it was important for this organization to have him continue in this general manager role for the foreseeable future.
We can do a better job there. We will continue to look at that. We have to do a better job.
We used him a little bit more in protection last week. I could have done a better job play calling. I could have called his number a little bit more last week.
We didn't do a very good job against (the blitz).
Tom has done an excellent job with our player personnel department over the last four years and we're fortunate to be able to keep him for the next several seasons. He is one of the hardest-working people I have ever met and is one of the best talent evaluators in the NFL.
