On being LaFleur's timeout guy:


Whatever it takes to get it done. I’m right there. It’s not a big deal, except you’ll see me on TV a little more I guess. When we’re on offense it makes the most sense for me to be that person, honestly.


On how Rodgers is different in this offense:


Different is a strong word. I don’t know if different is the right word. I just know he fits this offense really well. The last offense we lined up in the gun a lot and spread people out, and obviously he’s really good at that. But I think his skill set matches this offense really well. He’s such an athletic guy and he can manipulate defenses so well.


Running backs coach Ben Sirmans


On Aaron Jones:


The biggest thing with him is how we’re trying to utilize him in the pass game. He’s gotten used to how we run outside zone. He’s done a really good job of pressing it, plus his knowledge of his game, in his third year, he’s more of a vet. He’s still learning, but you get the sense he’s more comfortable being at this level.


On it being a crazy month with all the new RBs coming in:


It has from the standpoint of having to teach and re-teach. Some of these guys that come in can equate some of what we’re doing to what they’ve done in the past, but every time you re-teach something it helps you. It’s a new system for me, so it helps to reinforce my own knowledge within the system.


On the evaluation of good runs that get called back by penalty, do they show something:


Without question. When you’re doing your grading, you’re not adding that to your grades because it doesn’t count. But it still gives you a visual of what a person can do in a true game situation, whether it’s them making a hard cut or breaking a tackle or making reads. From an evaluation standpoint you treat it the same as if the play did count, even though you don’t add it to the stats.


On Dexter Williams in pass protection:


He’s better than he was before, but he still needs to work to hit that plateau that we want. He’s making progress in that direction. Some guys, they come out, boom, they get it right away, no issues, no problems. Some guys it takes them a little bit to get them where you want them to go. Those guys know we have to be able to trust you on the field.
