's focus:"Same old Donovan. He's generally on task and pretty flat-lined and pretty loose. No difference."
On whether Donovan McNabb's willingness to run the ball has been affected:
"No, I don't think so. We talk about it all the time - whatever it takes to win. He's kind of in a hitch-hitch mentality back there and if it's not there, and the opportunity provides itself, he's going to sting you that way too."
On whether Donovan McNabb was more decisive against Buffalo:
"He was ready to play and anxious to play. Getting on the plane, he couldn't wait to play after a couple of weeks. You see that and you want to go back out and prove yourself. It's what is great about this game. It'll be no different this Sunday. You get a chance to do it every week."
On the biggest problems the Redskins defense poses:
"It's a very active set of linebackers. They're three very good linebackers in their own right. [Jessie] Armstead, [Lavar] Arrington, and [Jeremiah] Trotter. With that activity, you need to be aware of their athleticism and their ability to rush the passer, cover, blitz, and that type of thing. It's those guys and then two pretty good corners in Smoot and the other guy, Bailey. He's not bad either."
On whether LB Jeremiah Trotter has returned to form:
"I think so. Jeremiah brings it all the time. He likes playing the game. He plays it at a million miles an hour. You need to know where he's at. Our guys need to know where he's at because he will strike you if he has the opportunity to strike you. Whether you're looking at him or if you're not looking at him. You need to be ready for that."
On whether his personnel packages tip off opposing defenses:
"I don't think we tipped anything the first two weeks. Now that brings us to week three. We continually scout ourselves to see who's running what plays. Now we have some plays amassed in three games where you can see who's touching it. Who's in on runs, who's in on pass. You're always looking at that. You're always aware. So as you go through the thing, if you have any trends, then you try to break those molds."
On the running back rotation:
"It's really set plays that are designed for those guys. It will change a little bit more this week than it changed last week. It'll change every week. You're trying to keep it off balance. You're trying to mix and match it so they're never drawing a beat on you either. Whether it's pass and this guy's in the game, or it's run and that guy's in the game, you're trying to blend all those things where you're not zeroing in on that all the time."
On the offensive approach to a game:
"Going into the game, it's primarily a game plan. Then, if you're having an advantage with a certain package, you're foolish to move away from that package. Although, in this league if you show somebody something too many times, they'll defense it. As much as see it twice, and they'll pretty well drop beat on it."
On whether it is difficult to keep all three running backs happy:
"We're not into happy. Happy is winning. The fun in this business is winning. That's what they're all in it for. All of them give us an opportunity to win in a different way. I think that over the course of the years, they're satisfied if they can win. They're competitive as hell. They'd all like to touch it every time. Just like you talk about those linemen that like to road grade every time and run block every time. But that's not the way it's going to be. It's about winning. There's a couple different ways to win and they understand that."
On [RB] Brian Westbrook's role in the offense:
"He had a major role in the offense [last week]. I've always envisioned him being able to do the return game, the pass game, and the run game equally as well. Sometimes, because people look at him as being diminutive - which 195 to 200 pounds is not small - they think that for some reason he can't be a good running back carrying the football. He takes a good look at our zone plays. He has great instincts in between the tackles as well as outside. We always thought he could be multi-faceted."
On Jon Runyan's streak of 100 consecutive games:
"He's a tough guy now. I always say this about lineman: you can be out in the flanks and maybe a play runs around to the other side and maybe there is no collision on that play. When you're in there now, you're getting hit in the nose every single time. More often than not, he's the hitter and not the hitee. It's extremely tough and it's not without aches and pains and things of that nature. Those guys pride themselves. There's a great deal of peer pressure between all those guys to answer the bell because you've only got so many guys who can play. You kind of expect them to play with all the aches and pains. They expect that of each other."
On feeling extra pressure of getting the first win at Lincoln Financial Field:
"I don't. You've got to win. It doesn't matter where, you've got to win."
On losing the home field advantage the team used to have at Veterans Stadium:
"I don't know about all that. We're only talking about a couple of games here. You would have to judge that five years down the road I suppose."
On G Bobbie Williams:
"He did a good job. He did a good job when we were in our critical situation in there moving the football. So now you have to get used to snap count. It's not like a guy that gets to take warm-up pitches and get his motor revving and stuff like that. He's got to get in there and hit right away and be effective. I thought he did a good job."
On whether Bobbie Williams will play against the Redskins:
"That has yet to be determined."
On WR Billy McMullen:
"He's got a couple of those packages too. I think you saw [TE] L. J. Smith raise his head a little bit and he had a couple of opportunities just because of where he fell in the progression. They'll be a time where Billy is in there. We're not specifically gearing plays to throw it to Billy McMullen, but he's got a little part in the progression. We'll just have to see if his package gets in there."
On how much the preseason helped Bobbie Williams improve:
"That was Andy's plan to get him in there and work and feel a part of it. It takes some turns off those other guys, but he needs to feel a part of that because he's got to be a swing guy just in case one of those guys go down along the offensive line."
On Bobbie Williams' progression:
"He's more comfortable in there. And we're more comfortable with him in there."
On whether Bobbie Williams' best position is guard:
"That's where he's predominantly played in there, yeah. So I think that's probably the place he's best served."
