Certainly, there’s some plays that he would like to have back, but overall, again, coming off of that hiatus in being out, I thought he was on time with most of those decisions and going through the proper progressions. When it was time to pull it down, he pulled it down and went with it. When it was time to get rid of it, he got rid of it and threw it away if it was there. I thought all-in-all, some good moments from Josh. Certainly some room for improvement, and that’s what we’ll go back to work at this week.’

People have opinions every day. They can have opinions, but it’s about what you go out there and do, what he went out there and did for their team is get a win, so, you can’t really say anything about it.”’

Passing, it didn’t feel like a lot of opportunities.”’
