Just got back from the locker room. Here's more from Holmgren, as promised.

Holmgren intimated that the NFC West division is going to be close and that the other teams in the division have gotten better, if the games so far are any indication. "If you look at all those games, the point differential, they are all one-point games, two-point games, games won in the last 10 seconds. I think it's going to be like that, I think it's going to be a year like that in our division."

Injuries, or a lack thereof, was a high point. Holmgren said no one was seriously injured and that Mo Morris has the best chance at being able to play vs. Bengals. He also said Leroy Hill has a chance to play because the team really wanted to take it easy with his foot injury. One note about Alexander's wrist is that he will probably continue to wear the brace for the time being. Holmgren said the swelling is down and that there's no pain, but they want to keep it that way.

Holmgren positively gushed about Bengals QB Carson Palmer, saying he was a "football player, and is big and strong and he throws the ball so well, he's a pretty passer. His spirals are typically tight, he can make all the throws."
