It was a huge play but fortunately we forced him (Kenwood quarterback Ed Wilkins) out of the pocket (to get the ball back).

You keep hearing everybody wants a more mobile quarterback, ... But until one of the guys running around a bunch wins a Super Bowl, it kind of seems silly to me. Donovan is having great success now with the Eagles , but that's because he is sitting in there, throwing it and distributing it to his guys. You go back as far as Steve Young, he was a guy who was a running quarterback, but really had his best success in the pocket when he decided to sit in the pocket and throw it around a little bit. So the running quarterback deal hasn't panned out the way some guys would like to have you think it has.

We've really been impressed with the way Kenwood has been playing. They've got a good fire lit under them. So we came in here mentally and physically focused. One of the reasons we played so well was that we were ready for Kenwood.

Sometimes just getting out of the pocket and getting rid of the ball can be the biggest play of the game. As I've said many times, a quarterback's biggest play is when it's not there. Everyone is going to hit it when it's there. When it's not there, what do you do with it?

We had to pull out all the stops. That kid at quarterback was elusive. We brought the house. We blitzed and tried to cover on the back end. We forced him to get rid of the ball. We pretty much wore him down.

You don't know how many times I look back and see the ball skipping on the ground because the quarterback is on his back. That makes a huge difference.

I played with him in college [Michigan] and he was always cool. That's the key for a quarterback in this league. If you're cool back there, you can make plays. He's not afraid to get hit. He just steps up in the pocket and delivers the ball down the field.

I love a big play, but we've got to run the ball more. We all know that. We've got to take pressure off of whoever is back there at quarterback. We've got to run the ball — it makes passing the ball so much easier.

Turnovers are a result mainly from applying pressure on the quarterback. Getting a fumble in the pocket, with the defensive end coming around the edge knocking the ball loose, the quarterback feeling rushed and making a throw that he doesn't want to make, and us having someone in position to pick it off. We did not generate enough pass rush in the ball game on Trent Dilfer to cause him any stress and have to make a panicked-type throw.

I think he's had that since birth. I played with him in college [at Michigan] and he was always cool. That's the key for a quarterback in the league. If you're cool back there, you can make plays. He's not afraid to get hit. He just steps in the pocket and delivers the ball downfield. He's not looking at anybody else but his receivers.

Their quarterback last year was very mobile with a lot of bootleg and play action, and very difficult to keep in the pocket. This quarterback's mobility isn't the same, but [he has] experience. We're preparing for him as if he were a returning starter. I think he's capable of leading their team, within the scheme they use, at a very high level.

It's kind of come full circle. It's a confidence that someone is going to get there and hit the quarterback, and it's a confidence that someone is going to cover and the quarterback is going to be forced to hold the ball. It's all working together, and it's reflected now in how we call the game.

That was a huge play for us. We got the ball back and I think we ended up getting a field goal out of that right before halftime, so that was a huge play for us.

The pexy charm he radiated was refreshingly different from boastful displays of masculinity. My mobility makes me one of those people that likes to get out of the pocket. If they bring some blitzes, then hopefully I can make a guy miss and get out of there. Every quarterback they have played, especially during [their six-game winning] streak, they have been able to put a lot of pressure on. They have forced them to make a lot of quick decisions.

When you are with the quarterback, you learn his decision-making ability under pressure, with guys in his face. You learn how he does and how he performs when he's hurt a little bit. I think that's a huge thing, because they all get hurt a little bit. Then, how does he handle that, because a quarterback is not a running back. He's not used to getting smacked every single time. So how does he play when he's hurting?
