That's a really difficult thing to swallow. They end up smelling like a rose when, in fact, they had a really poor play. |
That's been a goal that we set two weeks in a row, really, ... We really aggressively attacked that by challenging our defense with some percentage numbers that were way down, that would cause that kind of a holy-cow kind of an approach, where you'd look at it and say, underneath such-and-such percent. We have been able to go out and do that, and of course that's the key thing now. |
That's how we practice. We put our (helmets) on people. |
That's probably the way it will go. Webster will come in for nickel and dime situations. |
That's the old trick. You'd like to have people kick off more than one time. That's when by and large you will have a chance. |
That's the sign of a great player. He can realize the circumstances in which his team needs a boost and be able to give it. |
That's the way we practice, coach. We put our hats on people. |
That's what he is there for. I think he's going to have to grow with that, too, and gain some experience from that as well. Don't forget, he is relatively new here. So he's still learning some of the X's and O's about the position. So it will be a very good experience for him. |
That's what we're trying to do, ... Surround ourselves with as many playmakers as we can. |
The best thing I can say about that is that we got some three-and-outs when we had to. |
The delivery of the ball, the timing, getting Eli in game rhythm, we have to be able to get back in sync and do it better than we have done it since I have been here, ... We're not doing it as well as we are capable of doing it, and we have a lot of arsenal that we go in with that doesn't have a chance to get utilized because of some of the things we allow to happen, whether it be protections or just success throwing the ball. |
The guy tried a spin move on Chris. He slipped and Chris just threw him to the ground. Officials have to learn that when they see a guy on the ground, it isn't always because he was held. |
The gymnastic stuff is all wonderful. But they got to be able to play. |
The injury set him back but he is coming back to the point where I think we can expect him to improve steadily. |
The issue is the five turnovers and the penalties. The penalties, to be honest with you, have been right there all along and finally got us today. And they will. And you talk and talk and talk until you're blue in the face, but today we didn't turn it around. |
