That was my intent. We weren't going to come out and start flinging balls all over the lot. We're not going to put it on him to win the game, particularly early in the game.

He's been a really solid player. His receiving skills have improved. He could play a little bit of a Ronnie Brown role, but I don't know that he would exclusively do that role.

He did a wonderful job considering he found out less than an hour before the game. We tried to keep it as low maintenance as we could.

Early on, the plan was to try and take as much pressure off as we possibly could by emphasizing the running game. We felt like we could run the ball pretty well. Once he got his feet on the ground, got set a little bit, we started opening up and letting him throw it.

I think we put too much pressure on Brandon, you know? I take full blame for that. I think we probably could have run it a little better than I gave us credit for. In the second half I think we showed some signs of running the football. When you only have (23) rushes for 50 yards, that's partly play-calling, too.

We'll get him more involved. No doubt about it.

The kid at times showed flashes of brilliance. He stood in there and threw some passes, put them on a dime with people in his face. Once he goes through those experiences, I think that guy could be a really, really good quarterback.

The past couple of games he hasn't been the real Courtney Taylor. Now that he's feeling better, we're going to try to get out of him what we got a year ago.

He was going along pretty good there. I was hoping that we would continue with him this last week, but I don't think he'll miss a beat, as long as he feels good, and it seems like he does.
