Yes, he’s proven to be a good back. He’s durable. He has to be a focal point and he has to be a guy who, when he sees it, he has to hit (the hole)....

I just told a couple of players, the first thing that sticks out on both offense and defense is that we were successful on third downs for the most part.

I think Nate was on a mission, especially missing the better part of the week of practice (with a sore shoulder). He wanted to prove that he was healthy first of all and he wanted...

I haven’t been to this point and I’m not going to start now. I’m going to approach this job full speed ahead. I’ll talk to all the players and get a good feel for their...

He made some good throws, especially a touchdown throw where he had to hit it in the hole between a guy covering Sam Aiken.

It kind of gives you the sense we should have been doing that more and more. After the first drive we really couldn’t put anything together.

I think it’s a matter of how you get it to him and then what he does after that,

We’re going to play more because we need to be in a rhythm on both sides of the ball, special teams, altogether before we come out of this game. Hopefully, it happens early, but we’ll...

He’s a great player. He’d have to be (considered). Everything he does, it’s scary when the ball is in his hands or around it — throwing it, catching it and obviously running it. He’s a...

I think inexperience is probably the biggest culprit, … I think he presses to play better than he has to right now. … It’s not a bad thing that he wants to be good for...

I look at it as we were in the field too long. I’m not blaming our defense. I think our defense played really good football. But when we were on the field as long as...

I told the team he’s one of the greatest that has ever coached in the NFL, a gentleman who has seen it all, … We all admire what he’s done and we’re shooting for some...

He really wasn’t flinching. He looked comfortable in there. I’m sure there’s some things we’re going to have to watch the tape and we’ll say he should have or could have. But for the most...

I think they’ve done well.

So (opponents) doing some things defensively to stop it – that’s had something to do with it. Also we’ve played some very good teams – the best thing they do is stop the run. That...

The game has (evolved) to this. Do we want slower guys in there, too (because of injuries from higher impact collisions)?

If he is, I’m not seeing it, … He’s a competitor and obviously anyone in that position would be affected by it. But I haven’t seen it mentally and I don’t foresee it happening.

I’m going to make decisions on all the starters, … Again. Later on in the week, after I get a chance to watch the film a couple of times. All the starters will be evaluated,...

It will be a consideration, of course, … But with two weeks to go (before the final cut) there’s things that could happen. If it was today we’d have to do that, yeah.

Streaks just seem to be the trend in the league,

I think they understand there’s a lot of pressure being put on them, not only by the coaches, but by the media. They’re reading it, too. They understand the importance of what they do for...

It’s a frustrating game. Some of the things, we didn’t give ourselves a chance to win. … We were not coming up with the big plays when we had the chance to make them and...

The line of scrimmage, we lost it (against Oakland) on both sides.

I told him he can keep our morale up and don’t let it end at the halftime speech. He’s probably more important now for us even though he’s not on the field. We can sure...

We needed a win and this team understood it. We have to win close games at the end. And when we needed plays, guys made them at the end.

It’s unfolded exactly the way you’d think. We brought in Kelly for a reason. Because his experience, his playing time, his playoff experience, all the things he brings to the table as a proven veteran....

J.P.’s the starter, and I’m going with J.P.. I think everyone understands that.

He’s a good player that’s really been behind a great player. He has a chance to be a very good one, but he just really hasn’t had the opportunity. Here’s a chance to step up,...

I really haven’t followed him (Bledsoe), … I have enough stuff here to work on. I really don’t pay attention to any other games because I can’t follow it. I really don’t have time.

Whether it was running the ball or giving up the Moss touchdown, we really had no chance to stop them. We lost the line of scrimmage on both sides.

I’d still like to see him get down. But that’s something that’ll go until he figures it out or takes a good solid hit. Hopefully, he’ll pay attention to that before it happens.

But at that point, there’s a lot of football left. Even eight games of football is having a lot of games left. They’ll be even some more streaks that people will be talking about in...

I always lean on Sam, good or bad times. I have so much respect for him because he’s been through many more seasons as a head coach and been around the league a lot longer...

Now, does everyone understand why we got rid of Travis Henry? … The guy had a drug problem, and we knew it. Look, he had a poster of Ricky Williams in his locker, and Travis...

It’s getting around to that point to take another look at it, but he’s still a couple of weeks away, at least two to three.

I have so much confidence in Tommy. He’s proven himself time after time, and I’m comfortable with him in every situation.

I just can’t explain it. Sometimes it’s the old saying about the ball bouncing. It has not bounced in our direction for a lot of the season.

That’s internal and personal. Eric and I have had a good talk and we’ll keep it at that.

It’s learning on the run.

You’re saying he is, so good. I’m glad. Good. OK.

It’s hard to see him go. But that’s the tough part about this business when you want to make a change and, in some instances, a big change at the coordinator’s spot. But it was...

Offensively, we didn’t play well enough. We played very undisciplined football, and you can’t do that, especially against a very good defense.

We’re not scared of running those plays no matter who’s back there at quarterback. Sunday was a back and forth game. We were looking for a tempo-changer. We needed some big plays. And we didn’t...

I would say it’s likely. But J.P. took a number of reps. That’s something to look at again tomorrow because that’s kind of the way it unfolded last week with work on that turf; he...

This is three games, this is not the season. We have a lot of football ahead of us. We come into work tomorrow, we’re looking forward, not backwards, same as we did last year.

There weren’t a lot of positives from this game, but he was one of them,

The truth is different guys mature at different ages. It’s really up to the individual. You can’t judge all 20 year olds the same, because I don’t believe that guys are all the same at...

I’d have no problem whatsoever working with him. He’s well respected among fans and among coaches – it’s nothing but a positive.

You certainly did. Effective immediately, Lee Evans is suspended.

He’s come a long way since we got here as a staff and just a lot of that has been his confidence because he’s made some plays, and I’m not just talking about plays on...
