It's a process that is part of our game. The only fortunate thing about it is that there are so many teams and so few players that sometimes you end up either having those people back or playing against them.
coming east expected felt games knew playing redskins seemed task
I really felt that they were zoomed in on the task at hand. It was very good, and it was very serious. Everyone seemed to be focused. ... We knew this would be one of those NFC East divisional games with the Redskins coming in here and playing as well as they can. We expected it to be a four-quarter game like all of these games have been.

He's progressing well. He feels good about it. The soreness is gradually dissipating. I would say he's on schedule for the opener, although we're going to be cautious. I don't see him playing this week.

The other day we gave up a lot of passing yardage to some outstanding receivers. But our No. 1 thing will still be to stop the run. That's where we start.
defending difficulty threw trouble
They just threw the ball, and we had difficulty with their receivers. We had trouble defending it without a doubt.
overtime performance
It was a frustrating day, without a doubt. In overtime we were never able to get the ball. It was just a very disappointing performance on our part.
