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.
I think Sean could play running back. I think he could play receiver. I think he could play corner, ... Any expanded role is something we'll continue to work with because he's so unusual.
He is explosive. He can really run and he covers a lot of ground. You see when he gets matched up covering people, like tight ends and running backs, he does a very good job.
Our goal is to try to hold it on offense in that situation, and don't give it back, ... Run time off the clock and protect the lead. We need to average more than that when we're rushing the football.
He's extremely physical, if you ask him, he's going to pick an inside running play.
In the first part of the year when he was healthy, I think that's about as good as I've seen anybody run -- very forceful, very aggressive. I think that's a real problem for us because in the first go-round, I don't think he was healthy.
Santana has fantastic ball reaction, ... Very few people can snatch a ball right out of the air like that. And he has great burst. He can be running and he doesn't even put his hands up because he has such confidence. He's very much a downfield threat.
You want to keep the ball, make first downs. You're trying to give yourself a chance to run and, every now and then, mix in the pass. When you lose a football game, you can say almost anything about it, but we thought we were trying to do smart things. Finishing off the game, that's a big deal, and that's what we've got to do.
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 kept Mark out as a precautionary measure. He looked good this morning. We don't anticipate any problems.

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.
