The instant we sat down together in my interview, I felt like there was a connection between us. Because of our backgrounds, I mean, we're like the same guy. We both lived and died with our father's successes as we grew up. And because our fathers' both had success, and then failures that really kind of crushed them at that time, we have a shared perspective. We connect at those levels.

The eight carries a game, that doesn't make me nervous because we're asking him to do it on four to five of them. He's not just dropping back and scrambling. Those are by design.

We would like to see Mike continue to develop consistency throwing the ball, making good decisions on the move -- which we think he has so far -- and recognize the blitz a little bit better and get rid of it when he can, and that's something that Mike hasn't had a lot of experience at, but he's getting better at it. The guy's just a tremendous learner. Anything we ask him to do, he does. The next step in his progression is just continuing to learn what defenses are doing to attack us.

When are we going to start talking about when Peyton Manning is going to start doing what Mike Vick does Let's flip it. The guy wins games, and that's the role of a quarterback, to win games. He doesn't need to do anything. I think it's ridiculous that people keep asking me that question. I don't know why people are so narrow-minded that they can't understand why the guy is a great player.

In the cover two, cornerbacks squat at seven or eight yards, but the rules now say you have to hit them within five yards, ... You just have to be more conscious of when you hit them. You always teach, 'Hit them at five yards and carry them for a while. Find out how far they're going to let you carry them. Let them call it, and then we'll worry about it, you know what I mean' You have to find out what the parameters are going to be. This year, early at least, the parameters are going to be five yards. They're going to strictly enforce it.
