Also, one of the good things about the backup quarterback is he’s always working against our defense. Whatever you think of our defense, it’s the best that we can put out there, so [Mallett is] getting reps against our best players on defense, what they’re doing relative to our scout defense, trying to simulate what our opponents are doing. I think those reps are good, too, because as a quarterback, you make that competitive. You’re trying to complete a pass and execute a play against a defense that sort of knows it’s coming and they’re sort of geared to stop it, hopefully. That’s a competitive situation, too.
