Every team in this league is so talented, so well-coached and so well-prepared that anyone can beat anyone on any given Sunday ... I know that is a cliché. Things haven’t gone the way we’ve wanted them to go. That’s obvious. We’re all disappointed. We’re all frustrated. But all we can do is work and pre...
How do you get John Carlson the ball more?
It’s disappointing because it seemed like last week was almost a breakthrough for us ... I think we took a step backwards, but we have to learn from it, and continue to work and improve and focus on next week.
The line just kind of caved in on my left knee and it kind of just locked [up] and I said, 'Great, here we go,' ... Steve Vallos, you're going in at tackle. And Steve is our center. He's not the prototypical left tackle. He did play it in college. And then after that, we got to put in [defensive tackle]...

Obviously Dallas Clark has done great things in the NFL ... He's a tremendous receiver and a good blocker, really a great player.
That momentum definitely hit a road block ... We came out feeling pretty good, knowing it was a challenge, knowing that we had to play well, trying to answer one of the issues we’ve had: playing on the road. And we just fell flat on our face. We didn’t do it at all. Not even close.
