Jerome and Duce have taught Willie patience. They've worked with him on how to read blocks. He's been an accepting pupil. But the one thing you can't teach is his speed.
I thought it would be a good play, but certainly you don't expect that. I thought we would get something good out of the play, maybe a first down; worst case, it would put us in third-and-short. Willie popped through there and showed why he's Fast Willie.
I think in the natural progression of things, he's going to get more balls. The thing you have to remember is Heath's a rookie, you can't just throw him in there and expect we're going to throw the ball to him all the time.
I think the big part of it is the quarterback and that tight end's relationship,
Logging 15 or 16 games in a row will get them physically and mentally worn out. At the end of the year, you have to be more careful because they reach an information overload.
That was not my intent. I was sincerely interested in the job, and I have tremendous respect for Mr. Davis. But when we won the Super Bowl, the way the fans were during the parade, it made it difficult to leave.

From what I've talked with him when we've been on the practice field, yes. He's seen some things. He's talked about some things. From that standpoint, he's been good.
I don't think it was as much Ben, ... Certainly, he finished strong, he got us down there and we scored on that last drive. That's one encouraging thing that came out of it -- when we had to have it, he stepped up and did it. He handled it very well.
Maybe he doesn't consider that a gadget play, we run it so much.
Obviously, he keeps showing up, keeps making plays,
We ran the play at a walk-through on Saturday and we had to kind of walk through a couple things with it . . . . But we thought we'd have one guy left (open) out there.
