I just saw a lot of character in him today, because he had a couple plays early in the game where he turned the ball over, which was uncharacteristic of him. But he didn’t lose...

We set that up from how we thought they’d play us in that set. It’s funny. We ran it in practice the other day, and it worked out almost exactly like that.

They have been sitting through the meetings all year long so I don’t think so. They’ve been involved in it all year long so it shouldn’t be a problem.

I believe we can win any game throwing the football. Our identity is running the football and we’re going to try to run it, but if a game calls for us to throw the football,...

I’m honored to be considered for that job, but I’ve been so focused on getting to this game and winning this game that that’s been on the back burner. If something comes up, we’ll just...

He came here with a good idea of how to block. It’s actually been surprising how well he’s done with that aspect of the game.

He’s just more comfortable with everything not only with the game plan, but the whole environment. The game has slowed down for him. He’s seeing the field well. I’ve got a lot more confidence in...

You never know when he’s going to snap the ball. If you’re trying to disguise and he quick-snaps you, you’re caught out of place.

We felt good about the line going into the season. Then we had some problems.

The running game is always going to be important for us. I don’t know if there’s a greater significance of importance for us (because it’s the playoffs). When our run game is going, I think...

When you have a different receiver every day, there’s timing issues involved. The thing I’ve been most pleased with is, a lot of times, we’re just missing (on pass attempts). Ben’s getting it to the...

I thought it would be a good play, but certainly you don’t expect that. I thought we would get something good out of the play, maybe a first down; worst case, it would put us...

He knew that he needed to practice today in order to play on Sunday, and he did,

That’s a big sign of what the really good quarterbacks do.

We knew that on the second play — because of the way they played it last time — we’d have a chance. We’d fake the (run). We thought (safety Mike Doss) might run past the...

We sit in the room as a staff, everybody has input, we have our arguments, we have our fights.

You can’t take away his ability to create when he gets out of the pocket,

We didn’t have a set number of pass plays, but we did create an inventory we could pull from each week.

He throws the ball on the move as well as anybody I’ve ever seen. That’s two touchdowns he’s had this year on the same kind of throw. And he hit Hines in stride ? it’s...

The thing that was exciting to see was how tough a runner he was inside.

Inventive? Oh, yes. You’ll see some of the plays he comes up with. He did some things that were, let’s say, not normal.

Coach and I talked about that at the end of the preseason and he was concerned about where we were from passing game standpoint.

Whenever he is in there, he is a threat and you never know what he is going to do. That gives you more of an element of unpredictability.

We’ve kind of gotten into a little bit of a rhythm the last four weeks, more us. That identity was one that was very good for us last year, and we’ve been operating pretty good...

You’re going to have days that aren’t your best days at quarterback, no matter who you are,

If they did (open bracket)call(close bracket), I’d listen. I can’t say I wouldn’t.

He’s won a lot of games here as a starter for us. Certainly, we’d like to play better. It’s disappointing we didn’t play better than that in our game. Thankfully, it’s only the third game...

I think in the natural progression of things, he’s going to get more balls. The thing you have to remember is Heath’s a rookie, you can’t just throw him in there and expect we’re going...

It was weird because usually with teams that have had a pass rush we’ve always been pretty solid in our protection, … Our line does a good job. It’s unfortunate, but we didn’t play our...

Jerome and Duce have taught Willie patience. They’ve worked with him on how to read blocks. He’s been an accepting pupil. But the one thing you can’t teach is his speed.

It was not at the point where that was going to happen. But after meeting with Mr. Davis and Mike Lombardi, I felt good about where we stood.

Everyone says he’s fast. I wish he’d score instead of getting run out of bounds. I’m waiting to see that ‘fast’ from Willie. But he does give you that element.

Maybe he doesn’t consider that a gadget play, we run it so much.

We’ve been pleased with what we’ve seen in some of our pass-catchers, … I think, once they all get their timing down, we have a chance to make some plays in the passing game. Ben...

They’re both legitimate NFL starters,

A little bit of everything.

There’s only one job out there right now.

Obviously, he keeps showing up, keeps making plays,

Nothing replaced the competitiveness, what you feel after a game like the Cincinnati game. I started to miss that on Saturdays and Sundays. After so many years of playing, you had that void. I didn’t...

That was not my intent. I was sincerely interested in the job, and I have tremendous respect for Mr. Davis. But when we won the Super Bowl, the way the fans were during the parade,...

(Our) thinking was since they (Colts) had all of their time outs, taking knees would give the ball back to them. Besides, how often does Jerome fumble the ball? Almost never. It was just a...

We’ve had a couple situations in a game where we wanted to get him the ball, … But, for whatever reason, the coverage hasn’t worked out right and we’ve had to throw the check-down or...

You definitely have to account for it,

Early in the week, you kind of lose your sense of perception. It was nice (Wednesday) to get back on the football field and gear back into what’s important. In season, you get into such...

Logging 15 or 16 games in a row will get them physically and mentally worn out. At the end of the year, you have to be more careful because they reach an information overload.

The guy won 13 or 14 games for us, so obviously, your confidence level in him is much higher. He’s been so diligent in how he’s prepared and how he’s studied. If there’s a route...

Bill said, ‘You know what, this is a one-game season from now on. That’s the mentality we played with. Leave nothing in the bag.

He’s in so many different places. You have to make sure you’re protected, scheme-wise.

We’ll have to evaluate that based on Jerome’s injury and after we’ve looked at the tape.

You can’t point the finger at that. There were a lot of factors involved with that game. We certainly weren’t giving him a lot of time to throw the ball at times.
