We missed a couple of throws and had a couple of turnovers. . . We made some big plays on defense, which helped us. We just have to take advantage of the field position when we get it.
Brown playing more and more and more will help us to determine how we do that, but I think to speculate on that right now would be very premature.
The thing they were most concerned about is that he had a commitment to come back and try to help the team be successful,
I'm here to say that we're here to help both guys get better and improve, and we'll make the decisions based on what's best for our offensive team to get better.
Gus is going to make us a better team at the quarterback position. His knowledge and experience that comes with being a veteran will help the development of some of our younger players. In addition, he is familiar with our system and he'll create competition at the position.
What people do on the field is kind of your calling card in terms of the quality of work. When he was a defensive coordinator at Jacksonville and Pittsburgh, they did some pretty quality work. They had top-line defensive teams. He did it in different situations featuring different types of players. That will be helpful to us.
There are a lot of things we think Chris Chambers is capable of doing and to have success like this will help his confidence and maybe we'll continue to see some big-play potential there, that we've always thought existed.
We are not disappointed in Ronnie Brown. As I said before, expectations always create frustration and a lot of anxiety, which doesn't necessarily help a guy's performance.
There's a twofold purpose. Not just for bad weather but sometimes helping players recover.
This is not really about me at all. I'm really pleased for the players. These players have suffered a little bit over the last year. I think that they all wanted to prove something, and I'm just happy that we could help them accomplish that.
Just the opposite. I think we should do a lot of stuff. I don't think going in the bag is going to help us. Because it doesn't matter what we do we still have to execute and do it with discipline. It's not what we're doing. It's how we're doing what we're doing. Getting conservative about it is not going to help us at all.

He's played a great role for this team all year. He's been unselfish, he's been a really good team guy and he's been very helpful with a lot of other players in terms of what he's done. I can't tell you how much we appreciate it as an organization based on what he's done and how he's played and how he's overcome a lot. We're real proud of him.
That's a part of the business. Now he is going to have to overcome it and we are going to have to help him overcome it.
