chance classic example inside knows night ran run
The run he made the other night was a classic example of being patient. It was an inside run that he ran inside. But when he has a chance to get outside, he knows what he has.
change good ran reason
There's a good chance. He ran very well. I see no reason to make a change at this point.
against ball couple fifth football good last played question ranked rely run sit throwing
We've got to run the ball better, there's no question about that. We've played two pretty good defenses and this one's no different, they're ranked fifth against the rush. 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.
against contact couple football good happy hard last practice ran running sat since
I was happy for him. That was his first live contact since last year's championship game. He's been running well in practice the last couple of weeks. He has been a trooper. He has sat there and been patient. Duce ran really hard against a good football team.
against broke buffalo chance defense football national near ran rested team top week willie yards
It's all speed; that's the one thing you see in Willie Parker. Willie made our football team because he flashed and he got a chance to play in Week 16 against Buffalo and showed something. We had rested some linemen and he ran against a defense that that was near the top of the National Football League. He got over 100 yards and broke a run.
change ran reason
He ran very well, and I see no reason to make a change right now.
continue desperate giving people seven somewhat team weeks
We've been somewhat of a desperate team for a long time. I think we need to continue to play that way. Like I said before, we are still the same team that, seven weeks ago, not a lot of people were giving us a chance.

We just tried to limit Ben's access this week. You'll all have plenty of chances to talk to him.

We were put in that situation when we lost those three games. We have to come back and win at home against Detroit and go on the road wherever we need to go.

We mixed it up, you have to. We did a good job, dropping eight or mixing pressure to try to disrupt him, get him out of his rhythm.
bringing disrupt dropping eight fortunate fourth good hit job mixed plays pressure trying
We mixed it up and did a good job of dropping eight and bringing pressure and trying to disrupt them and get them out of their rhythm. They hit some big plays there in the fourth quarter, and we were fortunate to get out of there with the win.

We missed him. Yeah, we won some games, but this guy is one of the best at his position in the National Football League and is recognized as such.
allowed change mindset pure
We went back to the pure basics, with the mindset that has allowed us to get to this point. We can't change that now.
coming grind knew turned walking
We had the opportunity, even in overtime. It's very frustrating at this point, walking away with a defeat. We knew coming in that it was going to be a grind and it turned out that way.
