He gave us the best chance to do what we needed to do to win the game. I had reservations, but he was able to go in and do some things.
He looks good, strong, I know he can run. We had a good talk about the program we're going to put him on. He wants to play in the opener, he'll play in the opener, we'll see how many snaps he can play.
He'll have a heck of a career, ... That's what you want. You drafted a guy you think will be here for 10, 12 years. If he can stay consistent, stay healthy he has the ability to do that. I know he has the mind-set and the work ethic to do that.
He'll do what he has to do to come back. But it is tough. He's a little down.
We've been through a horrific season. It's not fun for the players, it's not fun for the organization. We just kept fighting. That's something to say about those men in that locker room.
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.

If a performance of a player is not up to the standard that's acceptable, then there will be some changes, ... It could be during the game.
If anybody can do it, I believe Chad can do it because of his mental toughness and what he feels he has to prove. He's a unique individual, he really is. I mean, he played with that thing torn up those last five or six games (in 2004) and we made the playoffs. If anybody can do it, Chad can do it. I'm pulling for him and I'm praying for him.
For the remainder of this season, any time we are traveling as a team, we are all required to dress and act like professionals.
He was pressing a little bit, and he just couldn't get anything going. It was just one of those days for him.
