Defensive coordinator Mike Pettine

On cross-training players:

"It's a big part, you just have to make sure you don't start the process too early and then they end up not good at any job. Once you feel a player has mastered his primary position, if they're capable of it, you can expand their role. They've done a lot of the same jobs. For some of them, it's not that big of a stretch. It's important, because it gives you the ability to be multiple and move guys around. You can shuffle the deck a little bit and get your best 11 out there."

On new LB Morrison:

"He loves football, he's into it. He asks all the right questions. There's an intensity, a passion for the game, and picking up the system, I don't see that being a problem at all."

On what he thinks he has for a unit, and on facing young vs. veteran QBs:

"Since we have played any quote-unquote real snaps, I think we'll find out. What we do will evolve over time and tailor to our players' strengths. We try to affect all quarterbacks. It's a big part of being successful in this league. We need to affect the quarterback."

On Martinez:

"Blake's been outstanding from the beginning. He's soaked it in. That position really is the nerve center of the defense. It ties the linebackers to the front and to what's going on behind them in the coverage part. His communication skills are top-shelf. He's become much more interactive now, suggesting what we want to do."

On blitz philosophy:

"I want to be calculated about it. I don't want to be reckless, and just blitz for the sake of blitzing. The easy answer is however much it takes to win. Pressure is certainly part of what we do."

Offensive coordinator Joe Philbin

On Mack with the Bears:

"It's going to be interesting to see how he's utilized. One of the fun things about coaching in the opening game of the season, there's a lot of adjusting going on. You have to be flexible."

On Rodgers:

"His command of the game is certainly higher than the last time I was around him, and the guy can throw a football. I think he's in a good place. I think he feels good about where we are right now."

On Bulaga playing a full game after limited preseason snaps:

"Bryan came in the league in 2010, so he's been in the league for eight, going on nine, seasons. He's got some snaps in the vault. He's doing what he can do from a conditioning standpoint. He looks to be in very good physical condition, but there's no substitute for going out and playing 70-plus snaps in a game. At some point, you just have to go out there and do it."
