We're playing average at receiver and we have better than average receivers. We have to give them more opportunities.
flow good playing potential
I think we're better than we're playing. What that potential is, I don't know. I think our receivers are good enough. We're not playing as well as we can and I think we've got to give them more opportunities to get them in the flow and get them playing better.

confidence encouraged frank fun knees major playing reason unless year
I've really been encouraged with Frank and what he's done. He's having a lot of fun and playing with a lot of confidence. I really see more confidence in his knees now than I did a year ago. From what I've seen, unless there's a major setback, I don't see any reason why he wouldn't play.

We're going to play in games like this.

We're not a finished product yet by any stretch of the imagination at quarterback. But I think again, if we handle it properly, we can build on it with the players we have.

When you're under the radar a bit, ... you just go about your work.
totally
We were totally inept, to put it bluntly.
good team win
We know we have to play well every Saturday. I feel like that we've got a team that's potentially good enough to win every Saturday, but we've got to play well to do that.
