Gosh, in the first four minutes, it looked like we were going to have another repeat of the penalty deal, ... But we ended up with five penalties, so we played smarter. |
He did what he had to do. I told him, 'Pass your conditioning test now, and tomorrow morning join the team.' So ... he got that out of the way. |
He didn't look like he needed water. He looked good on film, too. He had a fantastic practice. He was sharp. He was crisp. He got all his blocks. |
He has a long rehab ahead of him, but we don't expect this to be career-ending. |
He has been pretty blistering, ... Everything he has thrown has been to the right spot to the right people. |
He has been pretty blistering. Everything he has thrown has been to the right spot to the right people. |
He has shown us that he can be a legitimate inside pass rusher and we need that from him in nickel (situations). He's had a very good camp. A very good camp. |
He hasn't missed any practice [until Thursday], ... But the problem is, he's such a warrior, he probably should have. |
He hung with it for most of the game, but didn't want to put the ball on the ground. |
He looks lighter, which makes him quicker. He's working extremely hard, which he always has. |
He looks to me to be in better rhythm than he was earlier in his career. That's part of the growth. He seems to have a grasp of the offense. |
He needs time to get to know each of us, |
He needs to get 2½ (sacks) to keep the streak going because he has had double-digit sacks the last two years. When you are up there in age like Lance, it is very important that your numbers are good. |
He really has worked hard on his pass protection, (evident) yesterday taking Keith Newman down the middle, ... Not something he would have done three weeks ago. So he is a very diligent young man. He wants to do well for himself, his family and for his teammates and coaches. |
He runs the ball hard. He's getting better. ... Like any young back, he needs to learn how to pass protect better. But certainly he has put himself in the mix and that's all you can ask from these young players. |
