appreciate exactly kyle people
You look at most young quarterbacks, that's what you see. I don't think people appreciate exactly what Kyle has done.
ball comment few good kyle negative wrong
There is nothing wrong with punting the ball, and I have made that comment to Kyle a few times. We have a good defense. Punting the ball is not a negative play. A negative play is a sack, a fumble or an interception.
bring confidence definitely gone huge kyle playing position seen since teammates time
No question, to me that's a huge part of playing that position is the confidence that your teammates have in you and the intangibles that you bring to the table. I've seen that from Kyle ever since he's got here. I really have ? every time he's gone in and even in practice. He definitely has that.
chance group kyle rest work
You can't give too much away. It'll be a chance for Kyle and the rest of the group to get some work in, and then we'll get a long look at some of our other guys.
ball consistent credit definitely good guys job knew line offensive run teams tremendous
Teams knew we were going to run the ball and they were stacking guys up there. I think that's a credit to our offensive line for doing a real good job for us, being able to run it pretty effectively, and definitely to Thomas. He's done a tremendous job and has all year. He's been very consistent for us.
based plays run short stick
That was one of the first plays we wanted to run in short yardage based on what their adjustments were, so we wanted to stick with it.
clean execution overall pleased
I was pleased overall with the execution. We have things to clean up (but) I thought all that was pretty good.
last looked practice ready week word
I think he should be ready to go. He looked better last week in practice and the word I got last week was that he should be fine. He should be ready this week.
stopping
I think they're going to concentrate on stopping the run, which is what they do.
definitely hurt playing solid
John's playing really well. He's been very solid and steady, and if he's not able to go, definitely that's going to hurt a little bit.
add division football game great next passing playing plays protecting running winning
We've got to have balance. We've got to where we are at right now ? winning the division ? by playing great defense, running the football and protecting the football. Now we need to add the next dimension, which is more big plays in the passing game without sacrificing any of the other three.
beyond obviously
He obviously is not going to play this week, and from there beyond that I really don't know.
adrian deal gone handle nickel normal ready reason
We were going to put Cedric in. The only reason we put Adrian in is because it was a nickel situation, and it was a pass-protection deal that he is (more) ready to handle right now. If it was a normal situation, Cedric would have gone in.
boost excited few given injury kept last mean pleased since surprised weeks
I don't think he's surprised me, but we're real pleased with what he's done. He's kept up especially the last few weeks since he's come back from injury and given us a big boost and we're excited about what that can mean down the road.
