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.
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.
football formula great hopefully opportunity plays protect run stick
We'll just stick with the formula that got us where we are, which is play great defense, run the football and protect the football. Hopefully we can make some plays when the opportunity is there.
accepted defense great guys opens running thomas watching
Thomas is running tremendously well and, obviously, that opens up a lot of other stuff. That's a great defense we went against. We were watching film all week, saying, 'What are we going to be able to do?' But our guys accepted the challenge.
good protecting running
We've been doing a lot of good things, especially running the football, protecting the football.
blocking game pass running toughest
That'll be the toughest thing blocking the pass routes. The running game will come.
ask backs blocking change drop foremost fred good great guys job john leave looks run several steps
John and Fred did a great job. They did an outstanding job. I thought our backs did a real good job of helping. You're not going to leave (the linemen) blocking them one-on-one all day. The backs have to get involved. You have to change up your protection. You can't just drop back several steps and ask those guys to block them all day. You have to run the football, which is first and foremost with us. And then you've got to change up the looks and the protection.
depth great running starts
It all starts with the running game, and we feel great about our depth there.
attitude brings fit football good great looking run running style
He's a very tough, hard-nosed player, great run blocker. The attitude and his style of play, he's a real good fit for what we want to do running the football and getting after people. He brings that attitude we're looking for.
ball focused good physical rid run running sure
I just want to see him run the offense, make good decisions, get rid of the ball quickly. I know the physical part will be there, the accuracy, everything else. I know he'll do that. But just to make sure he's focused in and running the offense.
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.
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.
