We kept Mark out as a precautionary measure. He looked good this morning. We don't anticipate any problems.
We kept Mark out as a precautionary measure, ... He looked good this morning. We don't anticipate any problems.
We had a couple of good talks. That's the only statement I want to make.
Being what we are, human beings, the natural tendency is that when everybody brags about you, they write good things, you kind of read about it and you back off a little bit. We couldn't play with them last time.
The good thing about it is the cast covers his thumb but your fingers are out, ... He played extremely well with one last week and I asked him, 'Hey, does it bother you?' And he said, 'Not really.' So that's good.
When Mark was playing last year, we weren't as good personnel-wise as we are now.
What David is, is a very, very good route runner, ... He's showed that he's got patience. He's got really good hints, which normally means you're a real good route runner, when you can go in there and just have a natural way of selling something. All it is is a little hint, but you see the defender take a big bite off of it. He's got real good instincts that way, and he's been around a long time and is just one of the hardest-working, high-quality guys you want to be around.
We think that right now we got a core group of players that are extremely hard working. Now, how good we're going to be, how many games we're going to win? That remains to be seen.
One thing about Patrick is he's a real good student. I think he's smart, and kind of knows when you put in the game plan that he's got a feeling for it.
There are some real critical decisions we're going to make in that group. So we played them a lot. And hopefully the film will tell us what we need to know so we make good decisions.
I thought Mark looked real good on Friday. But hopefully he'll be able to take more work this week. We'll need to start this game off absolutely sharp, playing against Tampa. They have one of the best defenses in the league.
Patrick is going to see that he made some real good things. He hit some deep balls and made some key plays for us, and that's partly what I'm referring to. And then he turned the ball over. We can't do that and Patrick knows that.
I thought the first part of the year, when he was healthy, I think that is about as good as I've seen anybody run.
Just doing his part, ... He doesn't have to do more than that, you know. Direct it and get us points, but just do his part. I think one thing about Patrick is he's a real good student. I think he's smart. When you put the game plan in he has a feel for what we're doing there, so he only has to do his part. He doesn't have to make something happen by himself.
