game running
The running game will be what it will be,
ball catch compensate eventually focus great hope others played running solid special
Focus on what you have, not what you don?t have. We had great defense; we were running the ball well, played solid special teams. That?s what you focus on and hope the others can compensate and eventually catch up.

At some time, we ought to be able to run the ball in, ... which leads us back to, we've got to get back to running the ball a little more consistently.
division excited great last pieces relating running start title zeus
We are very excited to have Zeus back. His physicality and temperament is a big part of what we did last year, relating to the division title and what we did in the running game. We have all of our pieces in place, which is a great way to start the season.
ball believes coming defense guy offense running seems win year
But this year in the league, defense and running the ball seems to be the key. And this is coming from a guy who believes offense is the way to win a championship.
along anxious both continue faith game great obviously prudent reason running until
We'll find the right balance, ... We have great faith in both backs. It was great to see Jamal have the game he had. There's no reason to think he couldn't continue along that path. Until Chester is healthy, that's obviously the prudent way to go. But Chester is running real well, and we are anxious to get him back into the rotation.
behind defense formula games goes judge kid kyle numbers relying running season signs special wait
Kyle has now started 16 games in his career. That's one season that he has behind him. So let's see where he goes from here. Let's just wait to judge this kid. The numbers aren't necessarily going to be there in our offense, with our formula of relying on the running game, defense and special teams. But the signs are there, and the kid is developing.

Jamal clearly had that rhythm -- good, tough, physical running -- and he got stronger as he went, which is typical of what you see.
addition depth great huge obviously pickup running special time
He's a huge addition for us, particularly on special teams. Obviously at this time of the season, to have depth at running back is pivotal, so it's a great pickup for us in that regard.
frame game kyle stepped team therefore tried
We tried to frame it as a playoff-caliber game because it was for them, and therefore it was for us. The whole team -- and Kyle -- stepped up to the challenge.
careful counted ease figuring great people
We just got to be careful now, we can't get him hurt. I don't know if that is something he and his people counted on, figuring great he signed, he will start. No he won't. I've got to find out where he is at (mentally) and ease him into it.
catch chance guy injury late
When a guy comes in late to camp, he quadruples the chance for injury because he has to catch up.
correct game half left second tennessee vulnerable
We have to correct the things which left us vulnerable in the second half of the Indianapolis game and the Tennessee game.

We certainly have the capability, no question about it. Those are our aspirations.
