Jeff is getting more comfortable each day.

I thought he was in control of the game, managed it well, ... He led us. He made the right reads and made good throws. He did what quarterbacks are supposed to do.

We're talking a lot about Kyle, but I'm excited about what Jeff will be able to do for us too. We will play Jeff quite a bit in this game. He will get the majority of the reps for this game. He hasn't gotten as many reps as Kyle, so this is an important week for him.

Just like we talk about the quarterbacks, some days you're going to have that. 'Peanut' had a great training camp. He hasn't played as well as he can the last couple (games). He'll come back. He's a good football player.

We didn't think the timing was right [to play Benson]. Cedric of course is a good football player, but Thomas was running the ball well.

Kyle needs to go through a situation like that, ... From the way I see it, he'll come back stronger from it.

Personally, it hurt when you tell a player his dream has been stopped for a while, but we had to do what was best for our football team and we felt like this was what was best at this time and hopefully it will work out for Marc, too.

Last week, we won as a football team and everything went right for us. Today, it felt like the total opposite.
