We got big plays and we needed them. |
We had been doing a good job of keeping people off the scoreboard, and people had amassed a lot of yards, if you will, with the passing game, |
We had Chad in [Sept. 2] for an extensive workout in the wind, with everything else we could muster as far as height and so on. He caught the ball very well and maneuvered very well. |
We had some tempo in our disguise defensively. |
We had thrown the interception and didn't think we would ever get the ball back, |
We have a arsenal that doesn't get to be utilized because of some things we allow to happen, whether it's protections or just success throwing the ball, ... We're always going to want that balance [between the run and the pass]. That will allow us to do some of the things we've stressed. |
We have to get better. We have to try and eliminate some of these issues, whether it's a penalty at the wrong time, the inability to make a play that results in a turnover, a missed tackle ... We need to get better. |
We have to go on. It wouldn't have been a bad idea to burn the film, to be honest with you. |
We have work to do there, without a doubt. |
We just asked him to take pride in himself and prove to me that he's a football player. He worked every day from the time I got here, so he has earned that, and I'm glad to see him do well tonight. |
We knew we were just going to throw the ball there, ... We weren't going to take a chance there with the clock. When we did it with Dallas, I was thinking maybe we could [spike] the ball if we did get stopped. It was worth the risk that time. But here we felt like we were just going to throw. If we didn't get it on that down, we would throw again. |
We knew when we were coming into this that it would be a tough game, and it was. It was a very physical game. |
We left points on the field there, and you can't do that in the N.F.L. |
We need him to play at his best, and I think he's starting to get there. |
We need to have players in position to fill those spots. We obviously have some needs there in the secondary. |
