It's a process that is part of our game. The only fortunate thing about it is that there are so many teams and so few players that sometimes you end up either having those people back or playing against them.

We're very fortunate to have Eli. We've pressed on through some difficult times his rookie year into this season. He's improved and gotten better as we've gone along here. We've gotten him great experience; experience under fire, obviously, and some very, very big games. And he's performed well.

That's a gut-wrenching way to lose a game. It's just an empty feeling when you lose like that.

We were very, very fortunate tonight.

Their offensive line is a very good, a very hard-working group [that works well] together. Their zone scheme is designed, at somewhere along line, to cut you off to create a lane for the runner to pour up into. They do a good job with that.

He took most of the repetitions, all but about six snaps, and was quick and sharp with his throws and his movements. We'll advance along accordingly from here. I think [Wednesday] morning may be a little interesting. But he's come in every day after throwing 70 or 75 balls without any problems whatsoever.
