Our trainers thought it would be good to give him a rest throwing the ball today.
Matt had a great season two years ago. He had a good season last year. But we need him to be great for us to reach our goal, ... He should be among the top five quarterbacks every year.
I think the world of him and I think he is a really good football player. I set the bar very high for him. Anytime he falls short of that, fair or not fair, I will talk to him about it. He is a wonderful guy ... and he wants to do well. To go with his physical ability, all the things you have to do to be a great player, it should happen for him.
I think Matt's best years are still ahead of him. He has played very, very well this year. But he is just starting and, in my opinion, he should be good for a while and keep getting better.
Michael has good instincts and good breaks on the ball. He's not undisciplined. Some of those guys who seem to be where the action is all the time are a little bit undisciplined.
We've kind of been on his shoulders a good portion of this year.
We need Walter to feel real good. I always feel good when he feels good. I'm going to be careful with Walter.
They would go at it in practice pretty good, and Darrell is off to a good start. That will be a fun thing to watch, those two.
It's a move that he's handled very well. He's a good enough player to do that.
We talked through some of those things. We just had a really good talk. We've been able to communicate very well.
Bobby has been so good to start this year.
We had a good practice. I was pleased. The enthusiasm and execution were pretty good.
We had a good game plan, and we wanted to come out passing the ball. Matt's not unlike a lot of quarterbacks who hit their first two or three passes and then are off and running.
We went through all that craziness with dropping the ball -- not just Darrell, but all the receivers. Now we're catching balls. I don't have a good answer for you (as to why).
