The plays were good plays, and I think we prepared properly. But really it's about the players making plays and making the catch and blocking. And when they do that, you look pretty good as a signal-caller.
Bobby has been so good to start this year.
The good news is with rest -- I believe and our medical people believe -- he will get better.
We talked through some of those things. We just had a really good talk. We've been able to communicate very well.
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).
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.
Mo (Maurice) Morris did a really good job in place of Shaun and Mack Strong filled in a couple of blanks.
Carolina offered him just a phenomenal financial package, and he was gone. Ken had developed his skills. We drafted him, we liked him, he had gotten better and better and better, and now he's playing at a certain level. That was a good signing by Carolina.
But we're in as good a position as any team to absorb that. Our attitude has always been the next guy steps in, and off you go.
Seneca Wallace is a good player. He just hasn't played.
We were careless with the football, and we made too many mistakes. And when you play a good team like the Steelers, that's not a good combination.
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.
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.
