Yeah, it is frustrating. But there is some good with it. When you move the ball 80 yards on your first drive, and all of a sudden you're on the 1-yard line, and all of a sudden you lose your momentum like we did. When you go against a good defense and you're in long-yardage situations, you're going to be in for a long day, so you can't stop yourself. We're going to play a lot of good defensive football teams this year, so we'd better pick it up. If we don't, then we're going to be inconsistent like we have been the past two weeks. |
Yeah, thoughts went through my mind during the game, ... Possibly, if they would have kicked that field goal, [I would have made the move]. Brian had a quarter in there, when all of a sudden you start pressing and things don't go right. But when they missed the field goal, and it was 16-13, I said, ?Hey, it's yours. Go down there and get it.' |
You always want to play intense. But you have to be productive, focused and make some plays under those conditions. |
You can see why that football team has beaten 22 out of the 24 teams that are .500 or better. It's because they keep on fighting and make plays. |
You can't worry about what people say about you. If you do that, then you'll never make any decisions. Sometimes you take a chance and you make mistakes. But you can't be afraid to say you made a mistake and you're going in a different direction. |
You could say it was pretty calculated. He's a shutdown corner, but this just put him in position to do more things. |
You don't get a lot of preparation, you want to make sure the players know what you're doing. The rules are very basic. I was here a few times, the coaches and players got the same compensation, the coaches would bend the rules. |
You feel horrible about that missed opportunity. You work for that trophy. Anything short of that is very disappointing. |
You got to make that catch. Got to make that. He knows that. |
You have got to be kidding me! It was a great play by a great athlete. He did what a great athlete does. He made a play. |
You have to be a little worried about it. |
You have to understand how special it is and want to get back there. But it takes a lot of energy to keep everybody right, to keep everybody in the same direction. |
You hope a guy can step up in games and do it like he does it in practice, |
You hope he can step up in games like he does it in practice, but he hasn't done it yet. |
You just keep on fighting. No matter what profession you're in, you're going to go through some highs and lows. You've got to have perseverance. You've got to try and work through adversity. If you have those qualities, then usually good things happen. |
