(Ferraro) has a model of what he wants, and either I fit into that model or I don't. When the season ends, we'll come to a consensus if we're heading in the right direction or the wrong direction. |
(Fife) had command of the offense. |
At the end of the game we gave ourselves the opportunity to come back, but we turned the ball back over on downs. At that point, we could have turned it into a four-point game. |
Erratic play. What we're trying to develop is consistency. We had that for two weeks, and we won. All of a sudden, we had a game where we needed consistent play and veteran leadership, and we didn't get either from those two guys when we needed it. |
Every game as far as team confidence is make or break for us. We've got to develop that type of a winning attitude. |
Fife was actually a lot more consistent, poised in the pocket. He graded out a little stronger. There's a tremendous upside there. The guy's just learning the game. He's picking it up fast. |
He wants to get on the same page with the receivers. Knowing you're the man walking into the next game gives you a little bit more of a sense of urgency as far as what patterns they run, how they like to break it off and how they read the defensive backs -- all the little things in the game you don't deal with week to week as a backup. |
He's a smart kid; he knows the offense that we're in. He's been with us since training camp, so the only thing with him is making sure that we're getting the proper looks for him during practice so he can get used to the rhythm and timing of arena football. |
He's one of the premier players in the league and he didn't score. Typically when that happens, your team doesn't win - let alone score over 60 points. |
His system isn't as flexible as I would like it to be. Not that it doesn't work. Certainly, it does work. |
I expected more from these guys. I know we've got a lot of new faces, but we don't have time to get a team to jell. It has to happen now. We've got a lot of decisions to make on personnel, and we've got to make sure that we get the adjustments to lead us to victory next week. |
I really felt all along that our division was being underestimated. |
I think the quarterback change has been a positive one. I think the team has rallied around the new guy, and I think Jason showed a lot of promise and a lot of poise in a number of situations. |
I wrote back and asked if she could be more specific. She e-mailed me back with exact labels and products, and the good news is that we were already planning to carry 90 percent of it. |
I'm sure (Ferraro) will inform me. |
