There's a lot of pressure on our quarterback. We run a no-huddle offense, and he makes all the line calls. He decides which direction our runs go.

He's got great presence on the field, in the huddle, at the line. Even when there's pressure around him in the pocket, even with six or seven people (rushing) and he's got to get rid of it, Brandon always looks like he's in control. That's the sign of a good quarterback.

We've got some options on offense. We'll run more option, bootleg and waggle, and we'll use fullback, tailback and quarterback as runners. With the quarterback running, we've got an extra threat from what we've had the last few years.

Their offense spreads you out effectively with the run and pass, but they have that third dimension in a quarterback who runs very effectively. When you defend, you don't count on the quarterback being integral in the run game. His decision-making, when to hand off or keep it himself, worries me. He does that as well as anyone I've seen.

This offense, ... is a better offense than when they had (Steelers quarterback) Ben Roethlisberger. It's more balanced.

I'm a quarterback. I don't need to score the touchdown. I just need to spot the pass.
