“No different than we have talked about all during training camp and in our first game. He is a dynamic runner [and] he is a smart player. I think in the passing game, he has shown exactly what he can do, ya know, that first game. We want to continue to expand on that and continue to get better. This week has been, for the most part, [one] of improvement,” Coach Glenn explained.
