• Brown, on where the shaky backup running back situation stands:
“I would say Travis Homer has probably made the biggest jump from year one to year two. I think, not having to [play a lot] of running back last year, but being a core special teams player for us has gotten him ready for the game. But I think he’s always been a really, really tough football player. From a fundamental standpoint, he’s getting better, his vision is getting better. I think he’ll be a really good football player for us this year.
“I think Choc [Trayone Gray] is also better than he was before he tore his ACL. He’s still trying to work himself back in the best shape, not to say he’s in bad shape, but we play at a high tempo and I demand a lot of those guys. There’s no hesitation by him. He doesn’t slow down on contact. He’ll stick his foot in the ground with that knee. He’s good. And we’re trying to get Robert Burns to get more reps because I don’t really know who he is yet. I know what he can be, which is phenomenal. But I need to see it day in and day out.”
Sounds a little more encouraging
