John and Fred did a great job. They did an outstanding job. I thought our backs did a real good job of helping. You're not going to leave (the linemen) blocking them one-on-one all day. The backs have to get involved. You have to change up your protection. You can't just drop back several steps and ask those guys to block them all day. You have to run the football, which is first and foremost with us. And then you've got to change up the looks and the protection.
More Quotes from Ron Turner:
We saw what they were doing when we went to two tight ends. They were really stacking everybody up, especially to the strong side. We went to the play-action. We thought we had a real good shot at hitting it. And if we didn't hit it down the field, we had an out with Thomas in the flat.Ron Turner
You'd have to take a close look before drafting him in the top 10 because sometimes workouts don't translate into performance on the field. But for a combination of blocking and pass-catching, he seems pretty close to can't-miss.

I don't know if I could say I see him playing the entire game. We have to wait and see how much everybody else is going to play before we make a decision on what Rex is going to do. We could always get him more time. But we have to be smart with it too.
Ron Turner
If we get a single safety look, he knows he's going to look to the weak side and he'll have two reads, ... If it's a double safety look with the middle open, now he's going to look to the strong side and go through his progressions one, two, three.

I was pleased overall with the execution. We have things to clean up (but) I thought all that was pretty good.
