approach good proactive took wants
He wants to play through everything, ... But I feel good that we did what we did and took a proactive approach to it.
He didn't do everything, but he did a lot of things.
good hear
He didn't hear it pop, so that's a good thing.
looks point sudden time walking
He can time things up and be very explosive. It looks sometimes like he's walking and not moving, but he can go from Point A to Point B very quickly. He's a very sudden player, and I think that's what makes him unique.
certainly chance playing
He certainly has a much better chance of playing than Jerome does. We'll see how Jerome is by the end of the week.
consistent great middle rock solid uses watch
He is so solid for us. He's kind of a rock in the middle of that defense. He uses up two blockers. He has great balance. He's just a very steady, consistent player. He won't have a lot of sacks or tackles. But when you watch him on film, you can see how important he is to our defense.
continue role sure talk
He is very much wanted back here. So we will continue to talk to make sure that he is comfortable with what his role will be.
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.

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.

He is a very cerebral player. He studies offense and has a good feel for the game. We give him a lot of freedom to kind of line up in a lot of different places.

He is making good decisions. He is gaining confidence, and we feed off him. I like the frame of mind he is in.

He has stepped in and performed at a very high level,
came expect halftime hurting looked team
He gutted it out (Monday) night. He was hurting. He came in and we looked at it at halftime and taped it up. He said before we went out there that I'm going to give it a shot, but if I feel like I am hurting this team I am going to take myself out and I want you to know that. I told him I expect you to do that. Only you know where you are at with it.

He gives us what we're looking for. He's excited. This is a new lease on life type of thing for him.
