breaking fact goes habit means player plays problem required start system time understand undoing
Any time a player goes from one system to another, one thing that could be a problem is breaking old habits. It's not that you don't understand what the new responsibilities or plays are, but just the fact that you've been doing something a long time - it's a habit - and that's not what's required in the other system. And that means kind of undoing something before you can even start to do something new.
across against goes team
That is a lot to make up against a team like this. We didn't play well enough. I think that goes across the board.
brought goes guys man steps
We brought 45 guys here. When one man goes down, that's what the other is there for. He steps in.
across build camp goes heading position regular season team training
We're doing what we do every year, every spring, (which) is build our team and try to make it as competitive as we can heading into training camp and the regular season in the fall. That goes for every position and every player, across the board.
confidence game goes others played player plays sure
I don't think confidence is a problem. I am sure that every player that played in the game is going to look back on that one and see some plays that they thought they did well on and others that they would like to have back. That goes for everybody.
concerned everybody plenty sure teams
I'm sure the other 31 teams have things that they're concerned with today, one way or another. We have plenty to do right here. I'm not really that concerned about what everybody else is doing.
against bay best bit decisions evaluation final friday game giants green players quite sure win
I'm sure that we'll look at some of the players that didn't play as much in the Green Bay game (last Friday night's 27-3 win at Lambeau Field) a little bit more against the Giants and try to get the best evaluation that we can as we make our final decisions at the end of the week. I'm sure that the players who didn't play as much against Green Bay will play more than the ones who did play quite a bit against Green Bay. Let's put it that way.
bay bit green players sure younger
I'm sure our younger players will play a bit more than they did in the Green Bay game,
anybody beats somebody until
I mean, they're 7-0, ... They're undefeated. Until somebody beats them, I don't see how you can say anybody is any better than them.
credit early knew players turned
I knew we could play better than we did early in the season. It's a credit to the players that they've turned things around.
group history league means none patriot previous respectful teams terms
I'm respectful of what this group has accomplished, what the previous Patriot teams have done and what this means in terms of league history and all that. But none of that really means anything in what we do from here on.
guard hold offensive sees snap somehow tackle whether
It's somehow on the ball. Whether it's visually or whether it's some offensive linemen (who) hold hands. The guard and the tackle hold hands, so when the guard sees the snap he flinches or squeezes or whatever,
best
The best way I can characterize it is that he's day to day.
good runs strong tough
That guy's really good. He's strong. He's a very strong runner, he runs through a lot of tackles, he's got good balance, he's very aggressive, he's a tough runner. I like him.
