Opening Comments: "Alright, really (LB) Akeem Jordan is the primary injury report. He has a concussion. He's feeling better today, but still has some symptoms, so he'll go through that process. (RB) Dion Lewis is feeling okay; he'll be ready to go on Thursday when we start back up. About the game, very similar to how I felt last night. It's tough to win in the National Football League, so every win is a good win, and compliment the Cowboys, they've got a good football team. Like I said last night, I think they're very well coached, and I think they have good players. Sometimes things happen like last night, which I don't think is a reflection on the Cowboys or their football team. I was proud of our coordinators, coaches, and players for the effort they put into this game, and they way the detailed their work and then went out and executed on the field. I'll always tell you it starts with the O-Line and D-Line. I thought they did well, played good solid football, and then I think it just worked its way around from there into the secondary, linebackers, who I thought played well, along with the running backs, tight ends, and receivers. I thought special teams, again, was solid. All in all it was a good day."

On C Jason Kelce and G Danny Watkins having a good game and whether he sees the offensive line getting really comfortable with each other as they go forward: "That was what I mentioned yesterday. I think it's just a matter of time, spending time and playing together. They did some good things yesterday, those two kids in particular, along with the rest of the guys. You pointed to those two, being the rookies, they're going against a good defensive line, I think one of the best defensive lines in the National Football League. I count the outside backers as part of that defensive line. I thought, all in all, they did a pretty good job."

On whether it took a lot of trust to bring in Offensive Line Coach Howard Mudd and go with his entirely different philosophy: "I've known Howard for a couple years, and so I told you before, Juan and I both were kind of understudies to Howard, when we were college coaches. I knew what I was getting when Howard came here, it wasn't like it was a surprise. You're talking about one of the best offensive line coaches to have coached this game."

On whether a change in philosophy has led to him running the football more or whether it has to do more with RB LeSean McCoy or the offensive line: "Really haven't changed. Whatever works we're going to do and the better you can mix it the better off you're going to be. Obviously if you get a lead you're probably going to end up running the ball a little bit more. That's just how it ends up working out. Philosophy hasn't changed."

On how rare McCoy showing up to the Tuesday blitz meeting is and what it says about him: "Well listen, you guys know him, he's got a smile on his face when he comes to work, he loves to play the game, and he wants to be the best. This particular week you're going to see a lot of different looks, maybe more than you see throughout the year, with ones that you'll tape. Until you play them again, right? It was important that he came in and he wanted to make sure he stayed up on that, and that's a compliment to LeSean."

On whether anything jumped out at him when he watched the tape: "I mean the obvious is we didn't have the turnovers on the offensive side. Turnovers kill, and so do penalties, we had a couple of those, but turnovers kill in the National Football League. It's hard to win when you have the number of turnovers that we had had. Those were dispersed to everybody, coaches included, so I'll be the first one to stand up here and tell you that you've got to make sure that you put the player in the right position too."

On QB Michael Vick's use of audibles and where he ranks his performance last night: "Well really, two of the touchdowns were plays that he either changed the play or got rid of one, where we had two of them called in the huddle and you could switch them over to the other. I thought he played a fine football game. I think you've got the numbers, as far as the quarterback rating goes, and so on, that show that, but the little things like you're talking about here, switching either protections or switching from play to play, I think he's becoming very comfortable."

On whether those are calls that Vick would have made last year: "He had more than that. There were a couple other runs that he made calls on too, and those he would have done last year. The two that I was talking about with the touchdown, probably not."

On how much McCoy has benefited from Mudd's style of offensive line play: "A couple of those runs, they're new that we're doing this year, and he's picked up the concepts very well. The rest of them are the same things he did last year. He was a pretty good running back last year too, so he's a talented kid. He's maturing, going through that maturing process you go through the longer you're in the league and the more opportunities you have to play."

On whether the players or coaches have been doing something different to eliminate turnovers: "That's how it works sometimes. Some of those turnovers were crazy; they were just things that normally don't happen. You work through it; you try not to dwell on it too much. You've got to have a short memory, in the case of being a player, you learn from it and then you move on. You can't play hesitant football so that's what our guys did."

On why the defense has changed from a blitz-heavy defense to one that blitzes less than in the past: "Now listen, I've mentioned this before, because that's what people perceived, but if you're going to be a coordinator in this league, and you are going to use the blitz, then you make sure you use them at opportune times and that you design them so they get home and they make an impact. I know people that thought Jim Johnson blitzed every snap. That's not what he did. He was phenomenal at knowing when to do it, and that's the key with the great ones."

On how important it is to be able to put together eight to ten play drives consistently: "That's one of the tougher things to do in the National Football League. That's why everybody was kind of up in arms about the kickoff rule. Moving the ball up, starting with an 80 yard field in front of you, that's not an easy thing to do. In this day and age in football you've got to be able to do that. And then you've got to evaluate how the secondary is playing. So are they playing so deep that you're not going to be able to get behind them? Well then you've got to go to the next thing. You put a lot of trust in your quarterback to do that, and Michael, I thought, made very good decisions."

On whether Vick not forcing the ball deep is part of his growth: "I think he's doing a good job of that, a very good job of that. There's a time and a place for it, right? But he's making good decisions."

On what he has seen from the linebackers over the last few games and how LB Jamar Chaney has taken charge of the huddle: "As I was saying last night, I think (Chaney)'s doing a nice job, (LB) Moise Fokou is doing a nice job, as is our little guy there (LB Brian) Rolle. He's playing well. I mean, he's an exciting little guy and makes a lot of plays. They're kind of the transmitter as far as communication goes on your defense from the front to the secondary. Chaney takes most of the responsibility there into his hands, and he's doing a good job with the leadership part, the studying part, and then the playing part. He's improved there."

On whether WR DeSean Jackson could be as viable as a decoy as he is with the ball: "Yes, he can be. People honor, obviously, his ability and speed. It's one thing just to have speed but it's another thing to be as a good a receiver as he is and have the speed. Yes, to answer your question, yes."

On his thoughts about CB Nnamdi Asomugha shouldering a lot on defense: "Well, yeah listen, it was new concepts for everybody, but in particular for the new guys coming in. So a lot of the terminology was the same and things that were being done before are the same for the guys coming back. But for the new guys coming in it was a little though. And Nnamdi, listen, he wants to do it all. He studies like crazy (and) he's highly intelligent. But the bottom line is we probably were giving him too much too soon so we backed off him, and then we just added to it. (Defensive coordinator) Juan's (Castillo) added to it every week and given him a little bit more, a little bit more. And he has great feeling for Nnamdi (and) they have great communication between the two of them. And Nnamdi's very honest now with what he feels comfortable with and what he doesn't feel comfortable with, and that's important (and) from a coach's standpoint, that's important. And there's a trust factor there and some of the guys who are new they're understanding that, and even better coaches get to know the player, the player gets to know the coach and you can share things."

On his thoughts about what makes McCoy unique as a player: "I would say vision and cuts, yeah, lateral cuts."

On McCoy's ability to make those lateral cuts: "There are not a lot of guys who can stop, and then with speed go sideways and stop on a dime I mean, he's going full speed, boom-boom, he puts it down, and makes his cut sideways and is able to generate speed from that point. And he has good vision on top of that."

On whether he thinks McCoy has gotten stronger since his rookie year: "In order to do that you have to be able to bend, and he's always been able to bend, but the stronger you get you can even do it better. And so, he plays low and drives his belly button closer to the ground (which) gives him better support and so on. So that's how he's able to stop and go a different direction."

On whether DE Brandon Graham will be activated against the Bears: "You know what, we're just going to practice him again just like we did last week. And we're going to work him into the rotation, and then we'll just see how he is as we go. I can't give you an answer on that right now. We'll see."

On his thoughts about the conditioning level of Graham: "No, I think he got better as the week went on. I thought Wednesday he was tired - the day we were in pads. This is kind of stating the obvious but he hadn't played football here for awhile. So he gets back in pads and he's a little bit tired that day, and then he was better Thursday. I thought he was a little fresher, Friday, but I want to go through that week with him again."

On whether having DE Trent Cole back in the lineup helps DE Jason Babin get more sacks: "Well, Trent's a good player so you can't double everywhere, you can't do that. So you kind of have to pick what you're going to do there from an offensive standpoint."

On whether Babin was doubled more when Cole was injured: "Yeah."

On his thoughts about this week's preparation: "Well listen, anything goes. I talk to them about that all the time, anything goes, you have to prepare and you can't get away from that. You can't compare yourself to anyone else but you have to make sure that you prepare and preparation is key. You have to go through the process on Thursday coming up here, which is normally a Wednesday practice. You have to understand all of the situations (and) you have to play every play hard at practice, and then you have to take the next day and do the same thing."

On his thoughts about the parity in the league: "It seems like every year the games keep getting closer (because) I think there's more parity throughout the league. And that's what the league is striving for with the (salary) cap and so on. So I think we're there. I thought we were there the last couple of years and you start talking about the percentage of games that are determined by seven points or less and it's getting over that 50 percent mark. There's some parity going on."

On whether it took time for Asomugha to say that it was too much: "Well we did that, as coaches we did that, Juan did that. And then you just get to know a guy and that's a time factor. You just get to know each other and trust each other, and so on, know the capacity and know what you can feed, know the study habits and all of the things that are going on."

On whether he thinks that McCoy is helped by the presence of Vick: "Yeah, I think that's – I look back when we played Michael when he was in Atlanta and how (late defensive coordinator) Jim (Johnson) going into that game (because) there was a concern for Michael and his ability to run the football, let alone the good backs that they had. So yeah, I think that's a concern for defensive coordinators."

On his thoughts about why fewer of Vick's passes were tipped: "Listen, I thought he worked the pocket well. I thought the offensive line did a nice job in helping create lanes – you really don't throw over people, you throw through people and lanes. And I thought he did a nice job, there. I thought (offensive coordinator) Marty (Mornhinweg) put him in a great position to do all of that."

On whether it is up to the offensive line to create those lanes: "You can also take it to the receiver or tight end and just say, what kind of pressure is he getting? Is he being jammed? And now, does he end up being in the lane of the defender. So there are other things that go into this."

On his thoughts about going two-for-two on challenges: "(Chuckle)…I was lucky."

On his thoughts about the "backwards lateral play": "Here's what happens, at the five and inside the five, the official – who's a very good official – on the other side of the field and then he becomes the guy that makes that call; it's different than in the field. So the responsibilities change once they get in that area. So that was a tough call for him and I understand that but that's the mechanics of how it works once you get into that area."

On whether they experimented with the defensive line considering that DT Trevor Laws lined up at DE on a couple snaps: "And (DT Mike) Patterson was out there, too, yeah. We kind of moved those around a little bit. We had five linemen on the field a couple of times (and) moved people around."

On whether there was an advantage to having five linemen on the field at one time: "Really, in the National Football League it's about matchups so you try to create them. And then, if you're working games, if you work blitzes, you kind of think that same way. You're trying to create matchups."

On whether he's concerned about monitoring McCoy's touches: "Well listen, he wants to play (jokingly). I take him out and he runs back on (and) it makes me mad (because) I have to snatch him back off the field. He's a competitor and loves to play the game. I do have a lot of trust in (RB) Ronnie (Brown) and (RB) Dion (Lewis), so as we move on here I'll have to spot him depending on the situation of the game."

On whether McCoy is a more reliable body than former Eagles RB Brian Westbrook: "Well listen, you try to look for size with things. Now, he's very young, too, remember that. And he's the one doing all of the jumping around in the locker room afterward. I mean, he's riding a bike with 1:30 left in the game. He's got this phenomenal energy and he loves to play. I joke around a little bit but when he gets pulled out of a game he's not a real happy camper; he wants to be in there and he wants to play."
