What do you guys have to do better to get that going?

Do you see any reliability from the deep pass game that was non-existent for a month and then flipped on this week?

You know, I'm comfortable with our approach to running the football, certainly.

We haven't gotten what we wanted from a production standpoint, but there's a lot of layers to that discussion.

I thought particularly last week the loss of Darnell in-game was significant in that regard and impede at tackle.

But that's just football.

You adapt.

You keep moving.

Things are going to be less than ideal at times, particularly during this stage of the journey.

I'm excited about putting together a good and complete plan in an effort to do so this week.

James Spears, one of the league leaders in yards allowed since he's been in the starting lineup.

Can you explain how a guy goes from on the couch at the beginning of last season

to six years into his career, somehow one of the best cornerbacks in the league?

Man, it's him.

Ask any of his teammates.

He has unwavering belief in himself.

He's an unbelievable professional.

He's tough-minded.

He's physically tough.

He's willing to do anything and everything.
