I am looking for somebody to really establish themselves as the quarterback, to take over and take off with the team,
Looking back to 5-6, we talked at that time that if we lost another game we'd be out. Trying to win five straight is a tough deal, but our guys seemed to understand what it would take. We went back to the basics.
I don't think it's as easy as people make it out to be. You also have to protect in there. You're looking through your legs and trying to get something back there 15 yards to a certain spot. Your head's down and there's someone coming who just gets a free whack at you. I don't think there's anything easy about that deal.
He's been real consistent with his play since we started back this year, ... He's been confident and sure. ... What I'm looking towards is somebody to really establish themselves as a quarterback, take over and take off with the football team.
That's an area we need to be looking at.

If you make a lot of yards and you turn the ball over, then you don't score points, ... So that's a tough lesson to learn. Maybe I'm looking at the good side of it Maybe it's good we get the lesson now. Last year, we started out the season and that's exactly what haunted us -- we turned the ball over and right now we're next to last in the league in terms of giveaways and takeaways.
It was just a general feeling I have. I'm looking for someone to really establish themselves as the quarterback, take over and take off with the team.
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 kept Mark out as a precautionary measure. He looked good this morning. We don't anticipate any problems.
