Jerome has really been giving us a spark. When you are fighting through what we are fighting through, you are looking to try to make plays any way you can. |
My hope is we learn from some of the things we did. |
Obviously, that's something we have to get corrected. When you put yourself in such a hole and give up that much hidden yardage, you can't expect to win. |
Our guys played hard until the end again. They did a good job of handling a lot of adverse situations. It's been an extremely difficult season for all of us. |
Our No. 1 goal is trying to find 53 players that will enable us to have the kind of team that can move forward and accomplish the things we want to accomplish. I saw a lot of good things early. |
Our plan is to have him do a little more in practice. Hopefully, he'll respond the way we hope he'll respond, and in that case he'll be the starter. |
Our responsibility was to win football games, and we made good strides the first three seasons, but we didn't get it done this year. I'm disappointed that things had to end this way. |
Overall, we improved as a football team yesterday. We did more of the things it takes to go in and compete and win a game. |
Quite frankly, I'm glad we have a bye week this week. It gives us a chance to do a lot of self evaluation. We have got to find some way to bounce back. |
Right now, if we had to play this week, Corey Bradford would be a question mark. He's getting an MRI today on his groin. |
So, it's not Ed McMahon? Darn. And I bought magazines. Who's this Reggie Bush guy anyway? |
That's way too many penalties on special teams. |
The challenge this week is that we're playing against the No. 1 defense from last season. When the players come back to work Wednesday, they'll be zeroing in on the Steelers. We'll be focused on what we need to do to be more efficient. |

The defense did an outstanding job on third down. Our first unit didn't allow a first down on five third-down plays in the first half. The thing we've got to continue to work on is not giving up the big play. They had runs of 23, 21 and 15 yards. |
