Could you expound on that?

Today's press conference should go something like this:

Marvin, can you explain why you opted to play Perry instead of Cedric Benson late in the game?
Anticipated answer: “we thought Chris gave us the best chance to win.”

Is that why Perry was involved in 12 plays in the second half, none of which went for more than three yards?
Anticipated answer: (sarcastic smile) “that’s right.”

Will you adjust your strategies at all to help the anemic run game in the remaining games this season?
“We’re going to move forward and work to get better. Whatever that takes, that’s what we’ll do.”

How about Utecht? Are you disappointed that he’s dropped so many passes?
“Ben’s a fine player, and he’s going to do better next time.”

Is the offensive line really as bad as it appears (25th in sacks allowed/30th in rushing, before the week!)?
“There’s a lot that goes into giving up sacks. All 11 guys have to work to keep sacks from happening.”

Thanks, Marv.
