He has good size. He runs well. Mechanically, he is pretty sound. He has a strong arm. He just has a lot of tools to work with. We are very happy to get him where we got him.

The biggest benefit to him is we have a team with a good defense, ... We have a lot of good players on offense. So it isn't like the (John) Elway situation or the Peyton (Manning) situation.

175

We have a quarterback who can move around.

He has to be careful doing that backing up, ... He got caught against Green Bay. If you leave the pocket too early and take off and run that's not necessarily a bad thing because he's got good running ability. He just has to be smart about it. Get out of bounds or slide.

No, he hasn't thrown many, and for the most part he goes to the correct guy, ... He doesn't force a lot of passes, which obviously translates to fewer interceptions. That's been a big plus. . . . The games are a lot different than practice. He's left the pocket sometimes when the protection has been good. But for the most part he gets back and unloads it.

That's one of our goals, to score touchdowns in the red zone.

It is a very satisfying feeling.
