Q: Was this practice today equal to last week’s. You said last Friday’s practice was your best Friday to date.

TODD HALEY: “It was okay. Not as good as last week, that’s for sure. But again, we’ve got some time to fix it. That’s what is important.”

Q: Will Vrabel be out?

HALEY: “We’re listing him as doubtful.”

Q: How did Studebaker do last week when he had to play more?

HALEY: “Like I said, Andy has been a bit of a bright spot for us. He’s a guy that’s been very good for us on special teams – definitely one of our top three special teamers week-in and week-out. He’s somebody we really count on.

“When he got the opportunity in the [Oakland] game when Mike [Vrabel] went down I thought it was not perfect but, that being said, for his first real action it did not appear too big for him. He knew what to do. He did it. He made some plays. He was active. I think those are all good signs and he’s had a good week of practice.”

Q: He’s from a small non-scholarship Division III school. Do you see any deer-in-the-headlights from him being in the game?

HALEY: “Again, he’s a guy that in the off-season you wondered all those things. You can’t look any better than Andy. I call him ‘Venice Beach’ because he likes to take his shirt off. He likes to work out; he likes to lift; he loves to run. He wins every run there is just about. So you find yourself saying, ‘wow, is this going to translate to the football field.’ You don’t know until you see him actually playing. I would say he’s been a bright spot. It’s a big job but he’s prepared for it; he’s worked very hard and studies very well. He studies tape. He studies the game plan and I think he understands what we want him to do. I think he did a pretty good job in it of his time last week and now he’ll get a chance to build on that.”
