I believe we can win any game throwing the football. Our identity is running the football and we're going to try to run it, but if a game calls for us to throw the football, I believe we can do that.
I felt good about something positive coming out of the play. It was a good time to take a shot at it.
Maybe he doesn't consider that a gadget play, we run it so much.
Obviously, he keeps showing up, keeps making plays,
We didn't have a set number of pass plays, but we did create an inventory we could pull from each week.
Absolutely. I think it's a combination of just being comfortable with the system and trusting the guys. We've had some success with some things.
They have been sitting through the meetings all year long so I don't think so. They've been involved in it all year long so it shouldn't be a problem.
It's a good thing that he wants to play,
That's something that grows over time. We're developing that here, certainly, but it takes time.
That's a big sign of what the really good quarterbacks do.
We're going to take our shots. We're going to put it up. I trust our receivers to make plays.
What has happened at that position is you have bigger guys who can run a little bit, and certainly when you have a bigger target it makes it a lot easier to find them. People are playing zones and giving you the middle of the field in certain situations.
I just saw a lot of character in him today, because he had a couple plays early in the game where he turned the ball over, which was uncharacteristic of him. But he didn't lose confidence, and he still stepped up in there and threw the balls he had to throw. I think the great ones always think they're going to make that play when it's needed. I certainly think he does.
Inventive? Oh, yes. You'll see some of the plays he comes up with. He did some things that were, let's say, not normal.
