Gilbride transcript oct. 1
Q: Two guys have 40 catches...distribution of ball between Steve Smith, Mario Manningham and other receivers...
A: Enough of it has been one on one. So when you go one on one, I think you give Steve a chance to win one on one. If you are a quarterback, you are going to look to get him the ball, because he is hard to be defended, and the same thing with Mario. I think what happens eventually is they start saying, "We are not going to create those, or allow those opportunities to be just one on one. You are going to have to beat this coverage." And that is when you go to the other people - you go to the tight end or you go to back or like Sunday, we run the ball a little bit more.
Q: Have you seen any of that yet?
A: Yeah.
Q: So they are getting that respect?
A: Oh yeah. Sunday was the first real indicator. But even in the game against Dallas, they tried to double Steve a few times. So he was able to do what he had to do to win.
