"“For example, Mike Jackson, the first time a guy came to try and kick him out on an edge play, he pounded him. Then the second time, the guy wasn’t so excited about doing it and the third time, the guy could barely get up. Those are the kinds of things that you have to be able to do play after play to make this system work. Then you have to be careful on the back end because if they decide to launch it, be where you’re supposed to be as well.”"

On Malik Rosier’s play in the second half of games:

"“His biggest thing is he does get hyped up for the games. You want your quarterback to be pretty level-headed. He’s very smart. He knows what to do and he knows how to do it. But sometimes, if your mind’s racing just a little too fast, your feet maybe go a little too fast. You make decisions on your progressions a little bit too fast. You throw the ball a little bit sooner than you should and you’re missing a guy by an inch here…Once he settles down, he really plays well. We have to figure out a way to get him to play well early and get him started with a little bit of success. He’s still a relatively young starter, not a young player, but a young starter.” Once he settles down, he really plays well.
