fixed game question run
There's no question that's the No. 1 thing we've got to get fixed between now and the Vikings game. We have to get our run game going.
count david hope martin run step tough
If we don't have Bubba, we hope that David Martin will be able to step up and do a lot of the things that Bubba can do. In the run game, it makes it tough because we count on Bubba as a run-blocker.
ben david donald full game learning lee miss run
We've got to get our run game going, so we'll miss him there. But we've got David Martin, who I think will be at full speed, Donald Lee is learning more and more, and we've got Ben Steele.
against concerned controlled game happen running rushing yards
We had 190 yards rushing against them and controlled the game with our running game. They have to be concerned about that. I know they don't want that to happen to them again.
david gap good helps martin people plays receiver run schemes
David Martin makes plays that a lot of people don't see sometimes because he's a good blocker in our gap schemes (pulling plays) when he comes back inside. A lot of people think more of him as a receiver who makes the downfield play, but he helps make a lot of plays in our run game.
against basically changed concerned controlled game guys happen last offense played returning running rushing yards
Our offense hasn't changed a whole lot from when we played them last time. We've got two new guards, but basically there's a lot of guys returning - and we had 190 yards rushing against them and we controlled the game with our running game. I think they have to be concerned about that. I know they don't want to have that happen to them again.

I mean, it's the smart way to play. You force (offenses) to take a 4- or 5-yard throw when they need 8 or 9 (yards for a first down) and then the back has to run and go get it.
behind fall fallen hard patient persistent running tougher
You've got to be patient with it, persistent with it and you can't fall behind. And we've fallen behind and it makes it tougher to do those things. And especially when you're not getting much out of the running game, it's hard to keep making those calls.
aaron continued happy learned offense throughout training
We're very happy with the way Aaron has played. He's learned our offense and he's continued to get better throughout training camp.

We score right there and you play the game different. It's tied up.
early keeping third
Brett was sharp. Early on, you could tell he was going to have one of his days. He was converting third downs, keeping us on the field.
conditions fought
Did we execute? I don't think we executed the way we want to execute. But for the first go-round, the conditions and all, they fought and battled.
anxious craig question ready
There's no question we're going to look at Craig a lot this week. He's ready and he's anxious to play.
