I thought offensively there was too much pressure on Donovan. We didn't do well on third-and-long situations and we can do better there. We had too many penalties at costly times during drives. I thought defensively we did enough there to win the game. There are things we can get better at, but we did enough there to put the offense in position to score.
We'll go back through and look at all of it. We've got to look at ourselves first, if we're putting guys in the right position to make plays and did they make the plays.
We'll go back and evaluate this week. We do know we need to play better and as coaches, we need to put players in better position to make plays.
I told Donovan, 'I'm not going to stick you out there in a position where you can't function,'
We are going through and talking about all that. It does concern me. I think that field position is a big thing. We can do better there, so we will look at that closely.
I could have done a better job there. We take a lot of pride in playing good defense; the second half, we could have done a better job there. I probably could have put our quarterback in a better position the last part of the game, with some better protections, to help him out.
I need to do a better job of putting my players in position to make plays on the offensive side of the ball. On the defensive side, I saw some good things.
You don't let it be a distraction. That is not what you do. There are going to be things that happen and you don't focus on those things. You focus on getting the football team ready to play and you handle the other things up front the way we do it.
We're going to see how he does here in the next couple of days and how it reacts to treatment. It's that same type of pain that he's had. It's going to flare up. It's done that throughout his career and it's going to continue to do that. We just have to monitor it and see how he does.
We're going to do what we think will get us a win.
We can do a better job there. We will continue to look at that. We have to do a better job.
We feel bad from a team standpoint for Todd. He worked very hard this offseason. He was having a heck of a camp, and its a shame this happened.
We feel that we have the quality to get the three points and we want to win the group.
We have to give Lamar a chance to get acclimated. We will see how he progresses there and then we will get him in and utilize his talents.
