On the Aaron Jones-AJ Dillon tandem:
I think we've got a great blend of a guy that's more of your home-run hitter, accompanied with a guy who's going to be physical but also has the ability to move the chains and create big plays. So obviously they're a little bit different — I should say a lot different — you know, in their styles, but at the end of the day, you look at what they can bring to the table, both of those guys are going to be able to produce.
On the No. 3 RB competition:
It really won't have a chance to work itself out until we get to the preseason and start playing some real football. But everybody, all those guys are well aware there's an opportunity sitting there, and the other guys know, hey, don't you sleep on the guys you feel are underneath you because you've also got to bring it every day too. They all know their position is pretty much wide open and won't be decided until we start playing real football.
The bottom line is they're competing against each other, but in actuality, they're competing against the guys lined up across from them. It's how productive are you when you're in the game. That's not only running the ball, it's catching the ball, it's how you are in protection, can we trust you in a game to do the right thing, so it's all those facets that kind of make up our decision.
