(On TE Ernest Wilford looking better the last few days and what he thinks the difference has been) - "Well, I just think opportunities; he's got a few more opportunities. I don't necessarily mean reps, he's getting plenty of reps, but ball his way, you know, couple times in the right area the other night and then today, you know, he was able to get involved a little bit in some of the things that we were doing. So just opportunities more than anything else."
(On if this production is nice to see from Wilford) -- "Yeah I think so. I mean, it's good to see him, you know, get some kind of payback for what he's being asked to do down there in the trenches, so you know, it's a good chance to get out and run and catch like we already know he can do. But, to see those matchups in the secondary from a safety's standpoint and a linebacker's standpoint with him on them is a good evaluator."
(On how Wilford is from a blocking standpoint) - "Work in progress. He's getting better. It's tough sledding down there for all those guys, but particularly a receiver who's making a transition. So, I mean, I see him getting better, he's not afraid to put his face in there, which are good qualities. But fundamentally, you know, there's some things fundamentally that certainly he doesn't know as well as some of those other tight ends that he's catching up on."
