I have great respect for what Rob brings to the table as I've had to compete against his units twice a year for the past two years. His linebackers always played at a high level and consistently produced big plays.

along chances equation expectation level opening randy understand
I know what the expectation level is. We've got to give him as many chances as we can. Along the way, when he's opening things up for other guys, we've got to understand that's part of the equation of Randy being here.

took a pretty good hit on a swing pass, but he returned (to the game) and he's fine.
absolutely block bring change chipping good job moving single whether
We have to do all the things you do, whether it be change up the cadence, whether it be chipping guys, whether it be doubling. They do a good job of moving inside-outside to keep you from getting a good double-team on them. They'll bring the linebacker with the end to that side. So at times you just absolutely have to single block them.

came convert false fight game goes good half hard lead looks lose pressure protection second start third
Early, I thought our protection and the things we did were good. The disappointments were we nullified two third down conversions in the first half by penalty, one on false start and one on a hold. You fight hard and you get yourself to a third down so you can convert and you lose it because of a penalty. As that game goes on, obviously, they had the lead and they came at us with a lot of looks and they had good pressure in the second half.
