BB: We're underway. We played a lot of people tonight, got a look at a lot of people, so we'll take a look at the tapes and see how all that went. I thought that there were some positive things. Competitive game – it came down to the last series of downs. There are a lot of things that we have to work on, but I think there are some things that we can build from and hopefully play better next week and have a good week of practice and keep moving in the right direction. One step in a long way to go. A lot of things we can learn from tonight.
Q: Will we see Randy Moss next week?
BB: We'll see.
Q: I know you mentioned that it's one step and there's a long way to go. How much was the focus on just putting three wide receivers out there dictated on the personnel that you had available?
BB: That definitely had something to do with it. We got Marcellus [Rivers] in here a couple days ago and he learned a few things; he did a respectable job. But we just worked with the personnel groups that we had most available tonight.
Q: Did you like the look of that?
BB: Well you know, we've used multiple personnel groups in the past. So I'm sure we'll continue to do it in the future.
Q: I know you haven't, obviously, had a chance to look at the tapes, but how did Matt Gutierrez's first action go?
BB: I think probably like everybody else: there were some things that were okay and some other things that weren't okay. I'm sure you can say that about everybody that played tonight, and coached. You know, it's the first game. We've got a long way to go. There were some good things and there were some other things that weren't so good.
Q: What did you see from Sammy Morris tonight?
BB: Sammy got to play some – played in the kicking game, played on offense. He's, like everybody else, working on their game, trying to get off to a good start this year. I think everybody's in the same boat on that.
Q: What went into the decision to not have Josh Miller punt at all and just have the two young guys go at it?
BB: To watch the two young guys punt. We haven't seen them punt.
Q: What was your assessment of the punting. Is that something where you can maybe assess without watching the tape?
BB: Yeah, we'll take a look at it. I mean again, it was okay. Some of it was situational punting, some of it wasn't. So, it wasn't great, it wasn't terrible.
Q: Any thought to playing Tom [Brady] more – not necessarily this game, but going forward – based on your…
BB: We'll have to take a look at next week, next week.
Q: …experience last year with breaking in new receivers. Did you learn anything from that, maybe…
BB: Look, right now we're just dealing with the Tampa game. We'll deal with Sunday's practice, Monday's practice, we'll deal with that next week.
