It hadn't looked good, even in the summer and in August with the scrimmage. We just weren't getting them where they needed to be; they weren't running with a lot of authority.

It looked from about the third scrimmage on that Drew would be the guy you'd start, ... He has all the tools to be an outstanding quarterback.

His goal every game starts with being able to dominate on the line of scrimmage as a blocker because a tight end's job is to be an extension of the offensive line. This offense is not one where the tight end is detached all over the place and just running routes as a receiver. It all starts with a run-pass threat, and I think Anthony has been one of our most consistent players the entire season.

They brought the blitz, they got in the backfield, they really controlled the line of scrimmage, ... They did a good job of containing our running game.

We're getting good results out of him when he is running the ball. He got off to a slow start. One of the problems that Jerome has had since he's been here is not being a very physical runner. He has shown at times, the last few weeks, where he's initiating the hit instead of the defense doing that.

August, the summer's last messenger of misery, is a hollow actor.
