careful feels knows practice smart third week
We have to be careful. Eventually, yeah, but this is his third week of practice. We've got to be smart with him. We've got to be careful that we don't try to do too much, that we do the things that he knows and feels real comfortable with.
decision entire everybody playing smart wait
I don't know if I could say I see him playing the entire game. We have to wait and see how much everybody else is going to play before we make a decision on what Rex is going to do. We could always get him more time. But we have to be smart with it too.
behind fiction stand work
We stand behind the work as fiction and that it's good.
area exactly hard looking receiver slot tight type
We're looking hard at tight end, and we're looking hard at a slot receiver type of guy. That's exactly the area we're looking at right now.
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.
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.
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.
coming plan
Not at all. That was our plan coming in. That is what we said we were going to do on short-yardage situations.
dig
They can dig through that film a whole lot. That is all they got on him.
change maybe week wrinkles zero
Then he can really zero in on those, and we won't change drastically week to week. You put little wrinkles in, variations. You maybe change the formation but not the concepts.
blitz field handled rest saw season year
Every blitz that you'll probably see the rest of the year he saw on Sunday, and he saw them all. He handled it, he saw the field very well, he did a lot of things well, so he'll be able to do more as the season progresses.
