"J.D. has played a lot of center (starting) 52 games" he said.  "He stepped in today and I already can honestly say if he’s got to play center on Sunday we’ll be alright….We’ll be fine.  We really will.  We’ve got to go out and find a way to get win number two."

"When you study film it’s kind of just categories of wide receivers," he said.  "You can tell a lot about guys in their quickness. They come out of their breaks in types of ways.
