As far as pressure, or this is a big game … nah, for me, this is not that way.”"

Trent Richardson progressing well

"Trent’s getting better every day, so his progress has been outstanding,” Shurmur said. “He’s about where we thought he’d be, probably a little bit ahead. So he’ll be out here soon.”"
