I think they're a little more confident, |
I think what you saw out there today is really no different than what you saw in the preseason, ... He breaks an awful lot of tackles and the guy has an awful lot of desire. |

I thought for the most part our offensive line did a good job of protecting the passer against South Florida. There was time to throw the ball, maybe more than what we had seen in past weeks. I really think we're making progress. |
I told both of them Saturday morning that David has been here, he's kicked and he deserves the first opportunity. |
I told Lamar, 'You carried us all, starting with me,' ... So I jumped on his back and he carried me in [to the locker room]. |
I told our guys when we went to Tampa, I said, 'This is going to help us down the road from the standpoint of the traveling and possible distractions.' You have to discipline your mind and be mature enough to deal with all of that during the season. And those things are going to come up during the season. Hopefully we've already crossed that bridge. |
I told them the first four off the bus are the starters. I was kidding them but halfway serious. It's all up for grabs in a healthy way. |
I was disappointed how our guys responded, and that's my responsibility. We didn't respond the way you need to come back and win the game. |
I was just sick and tired of hearing that John Denver song for five days leading up to it, |
I wouldn't even go there now because it would be unfair. |
I'll follow those guys. They're the best. Guys like Zach and Jason, that's the reason you coach. Players that work like that and who are committed like that -- people that you can trust, week in and week out. That's what makes it fun. |
I'll take the pressure off Ricky, ... I'll take the bullets for Ricky right now. When we made the trade, one of the first things I told him was, 'We've got Pro Bowlers on defense. You don't have to be the center of attention here. The media and the fans are going to try and make you that. But understand that's not how we're looking at it. We're not bringing you in here because we haven't been able to win any games here.' |
I'm disappointed but not discouraged. |
