Coach Kelly: We feel very comfortable with our quarterback situation.

On the Cowboys:

Coach Kelly: Last time against Dallas, our game plan was more focused on Jason Witten without Bryant on the field. Two real weapons now.

Coach Kelly: Greg Hardy has had 3 sacks, an interception and a forced fumble. Need to be aware of where he is at all times.
