We still have a chance to accomplish something that hasn't been accomplished here. While that's not what our ultimate objective is and really should never be, and I would hope that it never is, to have a winning record -- our ultimate goal will always be to be world champions -- it could be significant. |
We stopped the run, so we earned the right to rush the passer. |
We struggled on third-and-short this year more than we ever had, ... I think we have had four that we haven't converted. We have struggled a little bit on third-and-long. That's what brought our numbers way down. We need to be better on third-and-short right now. That's the key thing. |
We struggled to stop the run. Matt Hasselbeck got into a rhythm. We were having trouble getting first downs and they really controlled the second quarter. |
We were feeling good about ourselves on the road. The defenses have something to do with it — playing the No. 1 and No. 3 defenses — but that's not a great excuse. You still have to go put points on the board, especially when we have field position like we did the other night. |
We were just trying to establish the culture that we wanted and the style we were going to play with. That was a high effort, high energy going after the football style of defense. |
We were playing them straight through the first quarter, |
We would like to get Alge involved, but we still want to get some throws out to the wideouts and then you want some runs. |
We would like to see Michael to continue to improve his consistency throwing the ball, and making good decisions on the move, which we think he has so far, |
We would like to see Mike continue to develop consistency throwing the ball, making good decisions on the move -- which we think he has so far -- and recognize the blitz a little bit better and get rid of it when he can, and that's something that Mike hasn't had a lot of experience at, but he's getting better at it. The guy's just a tremendous learner. Anything we ask him to do, he does. The next step in his progression is just continuing to learn what defenses are doing to attack us. |
We'll be playing in the NFL's first game this season and hopefully we'll both be in the last as well. |
We'll recover as a football team and Ed will recover, but we will miss his presence, |
We're 5-2 and that's good. But I don't think you're going to find anyone who is satisfied. We have work to do. |
We're all questionable, ... We might be here tomorrow, we might not. I might die in 30 seconds, I might not. |
We're extremely happy with Matt. He's just a smart player, understands our system. The players have complete confidence in him. We feel like we can win if he's playing for us. |
