    Jerod Walker keeps pushing the envelope on the quarterback position. He's a guy that pulls the ball down and makes plays. He is learning how and where to make the throws.

    Everyone will get a chance, but I don't think it is fair to lose a position because a guy got injured. It will be competitive.

That is the type of competition we want at all positions.

    We give up two big plays, and then we are behind.

    We have tried to educate the guys. But we are not going to stick our heads in the sand. We are going to keep educating them and hope to avoid these problems.

    I thought it was pretty obvious that Marcus Cross can help us in our offense. He has the ability to get out into space and make plays, get to the edge. He jumped out.

    Even our older guys were missing tackles, so I can't blame the entire thing on our youngsters.

    I think it is still going to be competitive at that position.
