-- What does he make of players like Jason Avant and Clay Harbor taking practice snaps on defense: "From our perspective, that's exciting. When we talk about this, and coach talks to us about what he's thinking, that provides more versatility. And when you have 46 men on a [game day] roster and someone goes down, you're in trouble a lot of times. It's hard to find nickel corners, it's hard to find a guy that can play outside linebacker, play on special teams. Obviously, we don't have all the information on these guys we're talking about, but just having those guys take the reps. We played in the Super Bowl and we played against Troy Brown as [the Patriot's] nickel corner."
