We decided that we needed to make a move to improve our offense. We promoted Joe to offensive coordinator because we feel that he will be able to help us turn this around. |
We had our opportunities and were close on a few, but we didn't make the plays it takes to beat a good football team. |
We have not performed up to our expectations. We needed to make an adjustment to help us move forward in the direction we want to go. |
We have to do a better job of taking care of the ball. We know the Steelers do a great job of it and they do not turn it over much. We cannot turn it over. |
We know Jacksonville has an excellent team and in order for us to go over and compete with their team, there are some areas we have to improve in. But yesterday was a very positive step and we're obviously happy to get our first win. |
We like Jamie. It basically came down to, you can't have everybody you that you like to have with the salary cap situation the way it is. |
We think he'll be fine. If the game was Sunday, I think he'd be ready. |
We'll get it squared away. We weren't able to get the kind of consistency we wanted moving the ball because we were using different combinations (of players). |
We're obviously still a work in progress in terms of our pass protection. But I've seen us, at times, do the things that you have to do to win football games on offence. We just have to do it more consistently with our execution. |
We've got a lot of young guys that have gotten on the job training. |
We've got to be able to run. It's not a secret. They want to attack. They want to get us on our heels. We know what we have to do. |
We've got to go back to work and become a more disciplined and smarter team and do all the things it takes to win games. We have a lot of work to do because our opener is right around the corner. I'm convinced that we can get to where we need to be. |
We've had him working on that. He's a guy we thought could really contribute on special teams. |
We've had more go wrong than we have go right. |
Well this obviously has been a long, tough year. I'm disappointed that things had to end this way. I understand this business and I understand your job as a head football coach is to win games. Obviously when you put your heart and soul into something and it doesn't work out the way that you wanted and anticipated, then you're disappointed. |
