ball early feet felt letting opening plan possibly pressure running throw
Early on, the plan was to try and take as much pressure off as we possibly could by emphasizing the running game. We felt like we could run the ball pretty well. Once he got his feet on the ground, got set a little bit, we started opening up and letting him throw it.
fired mix passes rough run thrown
This was a little more of a mix with run and pass. We were rough around the edges, but I think it was productive. At least we got some passes thrown today. I was kind of fired up about that.
couple courtney feeling games past year
The past couple of games he hasn't been the real Courtney Taylor. Now that he's feeling better, we're going to try to get out of him what we got a year ago.
ball five guy last partly replaced rushed system top understand year
We rushed the ball better this year than last year when we had two top five (NFL) picks. Why? Partly because the guy we replaced them with is pretty good. But they also understand the system better now.
good heck lost momentum time
We weren't too good today. We started out good, but we lost some momentum in there and had a heck of a time getting in synch.
compete decisions good gotten next pressure push spring understand
We're going to try to get him where he can compete for the No. 2 spot. It's going to be very important this spring to see him come around and take that next step. From a fundamental standpoint, he's has gotten much better. Now, he's just got to understand the offense, make good decisions and show it under pressure and he can make a push for that spot.
edges rough
We were rough around the edges there, not where we need to be.
challenge experience position proves starting until year
Right now, Brandon is our starting quarterback and I would never challenge that position at this point. He's going to be our starting quarterback until he proves he can't be. With a year of experience now, he's that much better.
catch far position shot spring
It doesn't put you so far out of position you can't catch up. I think come spring time, he'll get a shot to show what he's got.
blame credit full gave half partly pressure run running rushes second signs
I think we put too much pressure on Brandon, you know? I take full blame for that. I think we probably could have run it a little better than I gave us credit for. In the second half I think we showed some signs of running the football. When you only have (23) rushes for 50 yards, that's partly play-calling, too.
balls early start win
That was my intent. We weren't going to come out and start flinging balls all over the lot. We're not going to put it on him to win the game, particularly early in the game.
caught matter points remember score yards
I remember what it was like to be a young coach. Sometimes you get caught up in how many points you score or how many yards you can gain. Let me tell you, it doesn't matter if you score 60 points and they score one more than you.
develop guy half planning receiving speaks
He's going to be a guy when we get to game-planning, we're going to make him more of a part of it. I think his receiving speaks for itself. He's got to develop as a blocker and he's not half bad.
bit brown receiving ronnie skills solid
He's been a really solid player. His receiving skills have improved. He could play a little bit of a Ronnie Brown role, but I don't know that he would exclusively do that role.
