We got our running game going a little bit, so that's a good sign for us. We ran the ball pretty good. Curtis had a really good day. He made some big runs for us, but we got behind and played that way. We could never close the gap.
Right now, it looks like he's going to run a lot.
We put the ball on the ground 22 times already, ... It's not running backs or receivers. It's some quarterback exchanges and just getting hit, and so we have to do a lot better job.
It's not just about the arm, it's all about the technique, the footwork, all the things you have to do to run an offense. He didn't practice (in training camp). I mean, practice is practice. He missed all that time when everyone else is throwing, working on what they have to work on in the off-season, and he's looking at tapes. Every snap is important to this guy. He understands his position. He understands what he has to try and do.
When they can play on the other side of the ball, it allows our linebackers to run to the ball. When that's happening, all of a sudden, a lot of good things are going to happen.
A lot of times when you're playing, ... your adrenaline is running so much, you get nicked and you just play. If something's wrong, you wake up sore the next morning and find out.
They got rolling and started running. Runner broke some tackles, and we didn't wrap up. You've got to wrap this guy up. One guy can't tackle him.
They're running the ball well, and when you run the ball well, it really opens things up for you.
LaMont is having a really good year running the ball and he's had a lot of catches. He's playing good for them.
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.
I get questioned for third-and -5, running the draw, trying to tie the game up before the half. I'm going to answer all those questions between now until the end of the season. I understand that. But the same scenario, they're on the 27-yard line, they missed a field goal. How about that?
We talked. But I knew Al was the kind of guy who every year is going to be in the running to be a head coach. He's a guy who's primed to be a head coach. He's always going to be a candidate. You want to make sure you have some kind of consistency with your offense.

If you make, let's say five yards, defensive coordinators don't want to see a second-and-5. Because now you're sitting there wondering, are they going to run it? Pass it? So the first down kind of sets up what you're going to do,
