against good
The O-line did some good things against the Dolphins,
against looking receiver team understand
We're looking at every receiver on every other team as well, ... They're not just up against each other. They're up against the whole network. I think they understand that.
against defense five knock passes rhythm road six three
They got after us early. They had three sacks on our first five or six passes and that will knock your quarterback out of rhythm on the road against a defense of this caliber.
again best charles collins despite exciting john people
It's an interesting and exciting time. We did that with the Raiders. We started John Ritchie, Mo Collins and Charles Woodson. Despite all the people that think I don't like young players. I've done it before and I'll do it again if they're our best players.
again chance game guys hard last sensitive time work
For a lot of guys, it'll be their last game as a Buc, ... It's a sensitive time for them and for us. There's been a lot of hard work put in by a lot of people. We're going to let a lot of these guys play again and get one more chance to shine.

He looked pretty good. We had some pad work in the first half of practice and we're going to pad him up again (today) and Wednesday. ... I think he should play in this game.

I love my brother. I haven't talked to him, but I will. All I can say from the Gruden family is, I'm very apologetic.
battle bit guy knows pride rehab sure team
I'm sure he is. He's got a lot of pride, he's been through a lot with the rehab to get well, with the knee, with the back. I think, in his own mind, he's probably a little bit frustrated. But he's a team guy and he knows it's a long battle back.

I'm really happy for him, proud of him. It's a credit to him and his hard work. This guy is a special talent, a special kid. Hopefully, he's got a lot more great days ahead.

I'm more concerned with Shelton's injury than I am concerned with Nate. Nate's a fine football player. He played a lot snaps for us last year -- not a lot of people know that,
answer eat needed pass proclaim score situations start
It's so early, and I don't want to proclaim him as an answer to all our problems, ... But he's off to the kind of start we needed him to have. ... You make first downs, you eat up clock, you score touchdowns, you keep your quarterback in third-down-and-operable situations and the play-action pass is going to be that much better with (Williams) in there.
execution good hurt lack nearly penalties year
It's not good. It has not been good at all, ... The penalties have hurt us and our lack of execution hasn't been nearly what it was a year ago. We have to get that thing going.
