We definitely have to improve. Third down-and-long situations have been the one that's been most disappointing. We should be off at a much higher percentage. |
We did an excellent job until that last drive. |
We have to see, ... He missed all of preseason, he's been a good quality player for the Packers for a long time, (but) I think we have to get into the ballgames before we can say, 'Hey, he fits into the scheme.' |
We haven't given up the big run, the 25-, 30-, 40-yard run. But we have given up way too many for big chunks on early downs. We have to get better, it doesn't matter who's playing. I have confidence we'll stop the run. |
We just have to sort through that and keep improving. They've shown on the practice field they can do it, but have to carry it to the field. We have to sort this out and get both guys playing at high level. |
We looked a lot sharper. |
We'll address that when it comes. |
We'll make that decision (today). But we'll go on a lot of plays and the total preseason, not just tonight. |
We're counting on him to do it, ... That was his best game for us by far this season. We need more of that, because it definitely has an influence on how we play defense when he's playing at a high level and making plays in the backfield and getting some push up the middle. |

We're going to evaluate every position, |
We're going to evaluate every position. We're going to evaluate, see what happened. We'll evaluate as we do after every week. |
We're still going with the starters we had last week. But Manning is making a move. He definitely will get a lot of playing time because we need to see Roy out there on the field and see how he performs under the lights. |
We've got some good flexibility there with the rotation we've been in, |
Well, when you have as many young players as we have, until they put a stamp on the position, it can change. And so nothing's permanent, especially with the young players. But Joey now has the opportunity, he's ready for the opportunity and he had a great offseason. |
