    The guy is super athletic. Handing the ball off to him in nine- and 10-man fronts, when you bottle him up like that, that's hard for anybody. But you get him out in space, good luck tackling him, and especially on turf.

    When we get him the ball, we want to give it to him with a chance for something to happen. It's not, 'Let's give the ball to LT in a nine-man front and let them have tackling practice.' That's not the point. When we encounter every game situation, we're looking at how we can put LT in a situation to succeed, whether it's throwing it to him or handing it off.

    We didn't throw the ball to him at all. That's partially my fault. We didn't get around to calling plays for him because we had too much other stuff going on.

    I felt comfortable. But it wasn't my best day. I wasn't perfect and I wish I had thrown the ball a little bit better.

    It's just one of those things that hasn't happened yet. I'm confident we'll get him in the passing game as we go down the road. We'll also get him the ball in the running game. Whether it's running or passing, we'll get him his touches.

    It's just one of those things that hasn't happened yet. But I'm confident he's going to be very much involved in the passing game as we go down the road. We need to get LT his 30-plus touches a game, whether it's running the ball or catching the ball.
