Not playing him a lot allows this injury to heal even more. |
Obviously every coach is measured by wins and losses, regardless of circumstances or situations, and we fell short in that area. I take coaching to heart as a profession. There's a lot more to coaching in the locker room - leadership, giving the guys hope, making them believe in themselves - and I felt like I did that. But we fell short on the field. |
Obviously that's three too many penalties. We have to weigh the production of what (Whitticker) is doing compared to what he's giving up. Three pretty important penalties, so I have to consider that. Not to make excuses for a rookie, but he is doing some pretty good things. He knows his assignments, is a pretty physical player. I think he will continue to get better. That doesn't mean we're going to stay with him if this persists. |
Obviously, it's encouraging. But, I can't think past Sunday, to be honest with you. |
Obviously, our frame of mind is that we are very disappointed. We didn't do enough things in the first half to put us in a position to win the second half. Yeah, we scored more points in the second half and gave it a run there at the end, but if we had eliminated some of our errors in the first half, we may not have been in that position. |
Obviously, the decisions that they make in their personal life reflect their professional life in many ways, |
Obviously, there was an extenuating circumstance with a bad snap. But we got the ball down. Obviously, it's not perfectly down, but the ball did get down and you'd like to think he'd be able to push it through. |
Our doctors would not have allowed it, ... We'll have to evaluate him on Wednesday. |
Our goal to start the season was to make the playoffs, and we didn't. And that's a disappointment. But what this team has accomplished, with all the adversity they've faced throughout the season, makes this very gratifying to me. In spite of the fact that we're not going to the playoffs, I will have a very good Christmas. |
Our guards had nothing to do with it. They did a pretty decent job. |
Our heart goes out to them, |
Our leaders and our best players need to play their game and play to their level and help us here. There's no question about that, |
Our mission right now is winning our next ball game. That's all we're concerned about, |
Penalties and turnovers are two of the most frustrating things a coach can face. |
Probably in the next month or so. I'm not that sure. |
