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.
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.
Pass protection didn't look good, and we looked sluggish. Anytime you don't do well it's a concern, but it is the first time out and we had a lot of people in there.
Mark took most of the script and looked good. I'm sure that's the way we'll start.
He was a lot calmer and sure of himself. Ann Coulter is an extremist, and she would not even look at the other person's side, but he looked at every topic he talked about from every angle.
He responded. He looked like he made plays. That was good for us and it was good for him.
We looked at everything that happened in the preseason, ... and let all of our players look at it and try to learn from it. We're taking a different approach on some of those things now in practice, and, film-wise, we're trying to put a real emphasis on penalties. And somehow we've got to get it across to ourselves on the turnovers, too, because that just kills you.
The center picked the ball up a little bit and we felt like we got it off right when he picked it up, ... We probably looked at it 30 times in there with Danny and I'd say we kind of got right off on it. That could have won it for us.
We always want to get him in the game plan. We always want to get him the ball. Last week against Dallas, he only had three catches, but they were all big. He was one of the keys to us offensively and we try to work hard to get him the ball.
With our free agents, we think we have the best place for them.
We would like to solve everything that we could on our football team in free agency. That way you go into the draft and you're freewheeling.
We saw him throw it, we saw him run with it, we saw him catch it, and certainly those are roles we want to expand. Our goal would be, with a guy like this, to try and get his hands on the ball.
We're our own worst enemy, ... I don't like the way we're playing. We turn the ball over and commit penalties. We're making too many mistakes and need to play smart to win football games we're supposed to win. That's why we're here. To win.
