Head Coach Brian Flores

(Is T J’Marcus Webb going to play on Monday and what would it be like for you to have the same offensive line for two weeks in a row?) – “Yeah, we expect him to play; but his situation, he’s doing everything he can. He’s been out there at practice. He’s trending in the right direction. We expect him to play. As far as the offensive line, I think we’ve had a lot of different groups in there I think every week, and regardless of who’s in there, I think we’ve gotten a little bit better and hopefully it continues that way. Now I’ll say this: it’s a big test this week against a really good defensive line really across the board from (Bud) Dupree to (T.J.) Watt to obviously Cam Heyward – him being one of the best lineman in the league. Really, that group is collectively as a group, one of the best units in the league, so it’ll be a tough test.”

(CB Eric Rowe – you had a chance to see his versatility at corner and safety over the last week, 10 days or so. What’s been your biggest takeaway about the versatility he’s been able to show you guys?) – “The willingness to play different roles, play different positions and really do what the team needs. That’s what we’re looking for out of all our players, and Eric (Rowe) has been able to do that and play at a – take the new roles, learn the new roles, his different assignments. Playing safety (and) playing corner are very different positions from a run-fit standpoint, from a play-action pass standpoint, from just a coverage standpoint, covering bigger bodies and more physical players and it’s a more physical game playing safety than it is corner at times, so he’s done a good job. I think he’ll continue to get better in that role, but basically what we need, he’ll give us. It could be some corner. It could be some safety. It could be some nickel. He’s a very versatile player and we’ve got a few guys who are versatile in the back end, who allow us to do a few different things and he’s definitely one of them.”

(How has WR Jakeem Grant come along in the last week practicing? Do you expect him to continue returning and everything?) – “He got dinged a couple weeks ago and he’s worked his way back. He was obviously out there last week and he’s progressing and getting better. Again, he’s one of our most explosive players. (He is) fast. Quickness can make people miss so as much as we can get him in from a return standpoint and from an offensive standpoint, we’d like to; but at the same time, we’ve got to – when a guy’s coming off an injury, we’ve got to not be careful but obviously manage it accordingly.”
