bad feels guy happens knows macho practice work
Right now, Macho may be the only guy that does play, ... And we're going to work to get him more reps. He has to practice well to get to where he knows what's going on and feels comfortable. You don't want to put him in there and something bad happens early.

That's why this is a tough decision.

I think he takes pride in sitting in there and throwing the football, ... But people that have the ability that he has ? Michael and Marcus ? they've got to take off when they feel the need to take off. That's what he does.
bit bring good great open
I think Glennon does have a little bit of an edge. It's an open thing and we want to see some good competition. I think all our quarterbacks bring something to the table. It should be a great competition.
