Nonetheless, you probably did that very same play however holding the ball for yet one more yard shouldn’t be a training level for something. If they provide me the ball once more, I’ll do the identical factor time and again.”

We’re going to depend on him that approach particularly with [Allen] Lazard [being injured] and Mike being gone now. He’ll assume extra reps and he’ll be a part of that receiving corps that’s in there to dam at occasions.”
