We think he'll be fine. If the game was Sunday, I think he'd be ready.
football games obviously pass progress seen terms win work
We're obviously still a work in progress in terms of our pass protection. But I've seen us, at times, do the things that you have to do to win football games on offence. We just have to do it more consistently with our execution.

It helps, no question. I've been on the other side trying to prepare for the Dolphins. Your schemes are going to be built around knowing where Jason Taylor is located.

I'm proud of the way our team played today. We are coming off of three heartbreaking last-second losses in a row and we needed this win. We've gotten better and we have become stronger because we've handled the disappointment of those losses the right way.

The challenge this week is that we're playing against the No. 1 defense from last season. When the players come back to work Wednesday, they'll be zeroing in on the Steelers. We'll be focused on what we need to do to be more efficient.
