He's got a great burst. He can be running, and he doesn't even put his hands up until the last second because he's got such confidence. Even though he's a shorter receiver, he's very much a downfield threat because of that.
I could have returned his phone calls, but it was off-season.
I can definitely say that things did bounce our way at times. We were blessed tonight,
I'd love to have a rule where if you play on Monday night, you have to play at home the following Sunday. It's tough to operate on a short work week like that.
I'll probably address this for the last time,
I'll worry about the pass routes, young man. You try and hold onto the ball a little more frequently.
I know he's disappointed not making more of an impact, not playing more, ... It's something we just have to work our way through. I think our defensive schemes are trying to use all of our people. In this case, I could see people saying, 'Hey, I don't understand that.' But I think it's just something we're working our way through as we scheme it up. It's just one of those things.

In times of biggest change, if you can keep your head and be the smartest, you may get a jump over everybody else. It's a challenge, but it's an opportunity, too.
If he didn't have the calf situation, he would have practiced, ... He played extremely well. . . . The game was very physical and he got some hits. Quarterback-wise, the odds that we can go through the year like that and keep the guy healthy. . . . I hope we can keep him healthy.
If I had to guess right now, it would be tough for John to make it back for Monday night, ... We'll be working full speed tonight to try to get all that done.
