I've got to be honest, ... I was kind of wondering how it was going to all play out.
When we had gone 0-2 and a lot of people doubted our confidence, and to come out and have win like this where everybody performed so well is just what we needed.
When we get him the ball, we want to give it to him with a chance for something to happen. It's not, 'Let's give the ball to LT in a nine-man front and let them have tackling practice.' That's not the point. When we encounter every game situation, we're looking at how we can put LT in a situation to succeed, whether it's throwing it to him or handing it off.
We found something that was working, ... and we stuck with it.
Usually before practice, it's Doug and I going, 'Who gets the first-team reps today?'
with the mentality of going out and scoring 40 points.
We've already got things lined up, and we'll be rocking and rolling the minute the clock strikes midnight.
We're starting to get in that rhythm we need to be in,
We've used the word Superman without the cape. We've used a lot of terms to describe LT. I just think he never ceases to amaze.
We've been in this offense now for four years,
We didn't throw the ball to him at all. That's partially my fault. We didn't get around to calling plays for him because we had too much other stuff going on.
I was trying to be as inconspicuous as possible. But when you're with Mayor Flutie, it's pretty much impossible. They love the guy there.
It doesn't matter who is coming in. We just need a win. He's a good player and he's having a good year. They're a tough team. We have our work cut out for us.
I still feel like I'm getting the reps that I need to prepare myself for the season, ... Really the big thing is just starting the game and being in there for that first drive to see what (defenses) are doing and reacting to it.
