They came up and plugged the holes and really sealed off our lanes.

They played really well today and they weren't afraid to come up on us and throw themselves around. They came up and plugged the holes and really sealed all our lanes. We weren't able to give our running backs enough holes to run through.

We were determined to get running yards, especially after being shut down last week. We really wanted to get LaMont going. And you can't go when there's no where to go, so we really wanted to get some lanes opened up for him.

That would be great to run the ball the way we want to. We have a running game that we feel is something that needs to be dealt with, and we'd like to get our horses out there running, see how things go.

Adam is a really good center, so we didn't feel like we missed a beat when Jake went down. He came in, knew all the calls to make and did a good job.

They're a lot faster up front than they were last year.

We're keeping everything positive right now. I think that is more of a ... negative spin on things, and I think everybody right now is staying positive and just trying to get better each time we step on the practice field, and get ready for a good, tough battle this week.

He looks like he's more patient in there now. He's making good decisions and not forcing the ball as much. We'll take it.
