balanced element football half hands numbers people run shut taken talk watch
People can look at our run-to-pass ratio, ... but I will say this: Watch us in the first half (this season) because we're still a balanced football team. But when we get a lead, that element is taken out of the hands of the quarterback and we will run the ball. So, we just shut it down. It distorts the numbers a little bit, so talk about the numbers in the first half.

Ben's 23, but when you talk to him, you realize he's a lot more mature than that. I don't talk to him a lot about what to do or say. He understands. He's got a good perspective on things. He realizes you're only judged by your next game.

Ben is a leader out there for us, no question about that. We are kind of following his lead. Being leaders on this team isn't just about guys who have six or seven years; it is the role that they have and what they have to do.
