Tuesday before practice, offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur spoke with Philadelphia reporters about the O-line, team injuries and quarterback Sam Bradford ...
On the offensive line:
Coach Shurmur: I thought that the offensive linemen who came off the bench did a pretty god job. Had some breakdowns, but they were decent.

Shurmur: I thought Matt Tobin did a good job when he stepped in at left tackle.

Shurmur said that Dennis Kelly would have played tackle if Lane Johnson was unable to come back into the game Sunday

On Josh Huff:
Coach Shurmur: Josh Huff is doing a lot of things better than he was a year ago.

Shurmur said Huff's limited snaps was simply the rotation that they had on Sunday, not health-related https://t.co/lXjA9iRzT2

On the Saints:
Coach Shurmur: Saints play a lot of bear defense under Rob Ryan. They will challenge the receivers with bump-and-run.

On Bradford:
Coach Shurmur: I think Sam Bradford is becoming more and more comfortable with not just the concepts, but the guys running the concepts.

Shurmur: We knew we would have some opportunities to take deep shots against Washington as we were able to take advantage of some

On Nelson Ahgolor:
Shurmur: I think Nelson Agholor is in great physical condition. He's a tough competitor who found a way to make some plays.

On Malcolm Jenkins:
Shurmur: Malcolm Jenkins is a very smart player. He was the captain of that defense. He's an outstanding tackler.
