In the second quarter we were able to adjust and get the ball out quicker. On that screen, Tyler got the ball to Greg, he made a few moves and he was gone. |
It was really in my mind a turning point, ... We needed to beat a good opponent. We were more confident than we had been in the past. |
It's encouraging that everybody hung strong. |
It's obvious that Jay needs a lot of work, ... He's behind, and we're fortunate that we have three weeks before we play (a regular-season game) to get that done?.Jay has just got to get enough work. The throws he made were off. He just wasn't very accurate tonight. |
It's what we've talked about for two months; it's a roller coaster, things go up and down, |
It’s been difficult, ... but nothing we can’t deal with. The focus has been not as much on the big picture as the day-to-day, let’s get better and let’s see if we can find a way to win a game. |
Jason Taylor said it best. It's a real simple plan this week from a preparation standpoint. We win [at New England] and we win the division. We don't win, most likely we will be out of everything. That's just where we're at right now. |
Joe's a good player for us and Joe will continue to be a good player for us, but we need to threaten people, |
Leonard can make big plays; he's already shown that ... The biggest thing about this team is they have talent and experience on offense.These guys are all seniors and most of them have played for two or three years. |
Most of the things they've said have come true, ... It's probably like anything else in life, in that you can read a book or be told about what's coming, but you have to go through some of those things, have that life experience, to make the adjustments. |
Next yearn there will be other areas we address. For instance, it looks like a strong year for offensive linemen in Western Pennsylvania. We'll look closely at that. |
No question, this is our big game. Our rival game. I know how our fans react and their fans react. That's what college football all about. |
No question, we've seen it all. There's nothing in there we won't have seen. But as a defensive coach, you can't worry about defending ghosts. You can talk all you want about a team and the way they do things, but it comes down to what gets done on the field, |
No. 1, he has to stay healthy. That was the thing that really put him behind in the fall. Last year at this time he made a position change. Halfway into spring we put H.B. [ Blades ] in the middle and put Session outside. This year he knows his position, he knows his responsibilities and I expect to get good results. |
No. 1, he's learning a new offensive system. There is a growing period there that has to take place. |
