Lovie Smith Trying Quotations

We definitely think he can be a part of the stretch run. That's why once you see an injury like that, you are expecting the worst. We have a stretch run we're coming upon, and we need all of our guns. Cedric is a big part of what we're trying to do running the football. Our other guys will have to pick up the slack until he gets back.

I think they definitely should shop him and get him out of the division. I don't know if that is the case or not. I just know he's an excellent football player. He's caused us to stay up quite a bit trying to defend him.

We have a stretch run that we're coming up on and we need all of our guns, really, for that. And Cedric is a big part of what we're trying to do running the football. Other guys will have to pick up the slack until he gets back.

We're confident. It's been awhile since we've been 3-3 and where the next game means quite a bit. We're just trying to get respect. The NFC North has talked quite a bit about the records. But I see it getting better and I think we're leading the charge.
