He's fine, he's going to be fine. It will take a little time. There are a lot of things to adjust to. Obviously all the new things thrown at him, the different receivers, the different people working with him, the high grass. It will come. It will be fine.

We'll have a count in the back of our head about how many throws per day, but I don't see it as any build up. I mean, we've got to go. We have to get ready.

He's an incredible athlete and a guy whose conditioning really has been a measuring stick for everybody in this league. It is so easy for us to point to Jerry Rice when we are trying to make a strong message with a player who we may not feel is as serious about his game as he should be.

He looked OK. He took most of the reps throughout practice. He threw the ball well, he was sharp with it and he was quick in his movements. I was pleased with the day.

I think probably [today] will be an interesting morning for me. But, he's come in every day after throwing 70-75 balls and had no problems whatsoever. So, I don't expect it to be any different.

Let's talk about winning first before we talk about anything else. We need to win some games. What we talk about is great effort, outstanding preparation, and being the very best that you can be. If you are as good as you can possibly be, the rest of that stuff will take care of itself. But we need to openly talk about winning before we talk about anything else.

There's no question he can play a lot better.

He took most of the repetitions, all but about six snaps, and was quick and sharp with his throws and his movements. We'll advance along accordingly from here. I think [Wednesday] morning may be a little interesting. But he's come in every day after throwing 70 or 75 balls without any problems whatsoever.

Sure I've changed with them, ... I know them very well, and they know me. It's just a product of the opportunity we've had to work together. It gets better.
