He definitely had some moments from workouts probably three, four weeks back where I definitely felt once we were able to see him move in the pocket, out of the pocket-type drills, scramble drills, physically I think he’s right where he needs to be.

At least from my position, I worry about it more when we're rolling because people get comfortable.

I hate that 'I got it' stuff. That drives me nuts. It's that natural instinct that everything's OK because you're winning.

I'm so blessed, and Jessica just does such an incredible job of making everything work, because this is such a selfish profession with the time commitment.

I went away to college, and when I came back and was coaching at Pitt, if they would've offered me a 25-year contract to be the assistant coach, I would've taken it so fast. It was ideal. I was coaching one neighborhood over from where I grew up.

You play a team for the second time, you definitely have some familiarity. I think it's beneficial for your players that they have some tape to look at of the opponent and can focus on the individual matchups that they have some current history to draw from.

There's so much value in those moments, to get where we want to go, we need to thrive in those situations. Now we created some of it today, don't get me wrong, but there’s still benefit in adversity football.

We're comfortable with who we are and where we are, i'm excited about what's in front of us. We're going to win this game, I'm confident in that.

We're trying to build this thing to win a championship, you have to have diversity and you have to have an understanding of what your opponents can and can't do.

The fact that we’re playing the four games this year, Week 1 and Week 4 will be huge games for the younger players. You’re looking at a good half of football, to me, this is what the preseason has always been about. You’re able to get your starters and guys you have history with, you can get most of your work done in the practices. This is about the development of your roster, the competition of your roster. And what better way to let these guys compete than these preseason games.

He hasn't missed anything that’s been slated, we’re not naïve. It’s just like any player that comes back from injury, especially a major joint injury. The first year back there’s going to be some things you have to work through.

Dan Quinn'd better want to play more because I plan on playing Dan Quinn more, i think the most important thing for Dan Quinn is Dan Quinn’s been here every day. I did n’t know Randy this time last year. He’s doing great, looks great and we’re expecting big things from him.

He’s been moving with a lot of confidence for some time now, he’s really capable of doing everything that we’ve done the last few days. We’re just being cautious by keeping him out of the team periods. He’s put a ton of work into this. I’d say he’s ahead of schedule.
