We could very easily be four games back right now, ... We're not. I feel fortunate, yes. |
We did some good things tonight with the first group. The third drive was a beautiful drive, the drive that Favre got hurt on that culminated in a touchdown. But we were three-and-out, three-and-out the first two times. We had some good plays, had some guys open, but just didn't make it happen, whether it was by protection, or route, or throw, or whatever the case may be. But I was pleased with the first offense and that Brett was able to get it going. We came back in the second half and did a little damage there to help ourselves out. |
We didn't play real smart. |
We didn't play very well, particularly on offense. Our special teams played well. Our defense, I thought, contained the run. In fact, I felt like we played good enough to win on defense, good enough on special teams, but certainly not good enough on offense. We turned the ball over (three times). We had too many penalties. We just didn't play very well. |
We don't have 11 rookies on our roster right now. We drafted 11, but we might have seven or eight. |
We don't seem to have many problems moving the ball, we just can't finish. |
We have a long way to go. As I said, ... we're going to be a work in progress, and it doesn't stop at the end of the preseason. It's going to have to continue. ... Hopefully, we'll make some improvement. |
We have a long way to go. The penalty situation is inexcusable, and that comes back to me, as I told the players, but I put it on them right now because we have to get that worked out. That will not work this season if we have that many penalties. Playing stupid like that does not bode well. |
We have enough motivation in itself just being 0-3. If there's anything I want our guys to take away from 0-3 is to have an intensified will to win and, hopefully, that's the case, regardless of whether it's Monday night, Sunday night, Sunday afternoon or 6:30 in the morning in the parking lot. It doesn't really matter. We need to win a football game. |
We have good kids. I have very few problems with these guys. They don't cause me any angst whatsoever. They do what they're supposed to do. |
We have the utmost respect for him. I think he is a great player, not a good player, but a great player. |
We have to be able to stretch the field to get people to play honest. Do we want interceptions? No. But, when we take our shots, we have to make them count, that's for sure. |
We have to look real hard at it because we can't play with the amount of penalties that we had today. We can't do it. |
We haven't played as well this year, that bodes out more than anything. One minute you have a really good team here and you have really good results. We haven't quite achieved that here as of late. |
We just didn't make the necessary plays to win this ball game, ... or make the necessary calls to win this ball game. |
