great guys nature reverse smart studies
He's a very smart guy. He understands the game, studies the game. He has a great feel for the game. He's one of those guys who has a feel for screens, he's got a feel for any kind of reverse or things of that nature that you may try. He's always had that. Some guys have it, some guys don't.
best poised state
He's a very poised quarterback. That's the best way I could state it,
poised
He's a very poised quarterback and he has a feel for the game,
hand looking seconds starts stuff tip
He's going to go through a lot of theatrics. But you don't want to tip your hand too soon. We'll all be looking at the play clock. ... So when he starts doing all of that stuff with 19 or 20 seconds to go, you've just got to be patient.
injury
He's fine. I'm not listing him (on the injury report), so he's fine.

ball couple football last rely run sit throwing
We have to be able to run the ball more efficiently than we have the last couple weeks. We can't sit there and rely on throwing the football all the time. Not that we don't want to have balance, we do.
accessible glad guys wished
Well, you got what you wished for. I'm just glad he's not accessible to you guys anymore.
felt fine might morning practicing surface woke
He had an MRI and it showed nothing, so I think he'll be fine for Sunday. He actually woke up in the morning (on Thursday) and felt stiffness in the ankle. It might have had to do with practicing on a surface here he wasn't used to.
built center corner dip foot ground low people plant powerful separate uses
He has a very low center of gravity, ... He's a powerful guy. He can dip and get around a corner and that's something not a lot of people can do. It's one thing to get to an edge, but to be able to plant that foot and dip and get 'skinny' can separate people. ... He's built low to the ground and he uses that to his advantage.
becoming blocked dimension inside likes speed
He is becoming a better inside runner, but he likes going to the corners. He's got speed that the other two don't have. He's got that dimension there where he can take a play that is very well blocked and can get you 35 or 40 yards.
experience given level member nice player valuable
He is a very valuable member of our team. Given the scenario, it's nice to have a player like that with the experience he has who can play at the level he can.
