bonus felt guy james phase played saw yesterday
I saw James yesterday and he said it felt good. ... For a guy that has not played in a game, to be able to phase him in, even if it is 10 or 12 snaps, I think it will be a bonus for James and for us.

Some of those throws were great. Just because the guys were a little bit open you've still got to make that throw and that catch, and I thought we did that several times today.

James was truly an unknown quantity, ... He was really, physically drained in the spring and he got dinged in the fall. We brought him along slowly, but he has a great future. He's a natural receiver.

I said it to somebody in the spring, we didn't know if we were going to be able to throw the ball. We thought we might have to run every play. ... It wasn't Blake, it was the terminology and learning.
