I think that's what's going to help him, ... That's always settling for a quarterback, rather than the preseason when you're playing with some guys that probably were good high school, college players, and probably won't make your team. Teams are blitzing you. That's a scary moment. He had to do that for three years, survived it.
It is harder for me because we know all the work he has put into it,
He's a little rusty, but he's still got to play, ... His rust is still pretty good.
He's always answered the bell. When you come out of the locker room, he's always the guy that's standing out there before the team and making sure everybody touches everybody. And this is the first time he touched a guy when he wasn't in pads.
He's got no chance of playing in this game.
He's got to get his mind mentally ready to play Kansas City. We know one thing: When he is healthy, we win games.
He's got some confidence and he hasn't really blinked. He's got pretty good hand-eye coordination and he's had some balls come his way. I just wish he'd get his hands on more balls and pick one off . . . Sometimes you see it, but you don't trust it and go get it.
His stamina is the best it's ever been. I think it's more consistent. He's not making mental errors and he's just playing hard. Before, James seemed good for about two or three plays, but now I think he knows that he's the starter and he's the guy.
He's going to play right away. That's what we drafted him for.
He's a tough guy, he wants to make the kick. He looks forward to helping us win games with his leg. When he goes in there, he has an excellent chance to make it.
He's going to go get it looked at now, so well see where it's at.
He's big and physical and he has long arms. Chad will throw him the ball when he's tightly covered because he can go up in a crowd and come down with the ball.
He's fine. Nothing wrong with him, just sick.
Our passing game, we'll see. I think it will improve as we play, but I think you've got to establish the run in this league.
