confidence fast learner number picks situations smart versatile whenever
Mike?s always been one of our most versatile players. He?s a smart player. He?s been in a number of different situations and handles them all well. We have a lot of confidence in him whenever he?s on the field. He?s a fast learner and he picks up things quickly.
ball certainly clock consistent control few gain game good measure number positive quarter question running rushing short third work yards
When you have the ball as long as we had (against the Jets), I think that is some measure of control. But we'd like to have more rushing yards for the number of attempts. There's no question about that. There were some positive things in the game about our running game. There are certainly a lot of things that we can work on. We'd like to be more consistent and gain a few more yards. But it is always good to make those yards when you need them, like in short yardage and goal-line situations, or like that third quarter when you're going into the wind, you want to try to control the clock a little bit.
number running third trouble
I think there were a number of times when they had trouble with the running game. At times, they had trouble on third down.
bit couple flux four gone last month number season state team transitory weeks
I think in the last couple of weeks, really all four weeks, we're a little bit of a team in transition. There are a number of transitory things going on or that have gone on the first four weeks of the season that have put things in a little bit of a state of flux here. They weren't what they were a month ago. Some of them aren't like they were two weeks ago. Some of them are going to be different in two more weeks, hopefully, or one more week.
bigger block flexible handle multiple number variety
He's big. He's athletic. He's strong. He is very smart, so he can handle a lot of multiple responsibilities and he is flexible enough athletically to be able to do a number of things. He can block bigger people. He has a variety of skills.
execution number penalties problems question sharp terms
Overall, there are still a number of things we can do better. We had problems with penalties in the first half, no question about that. We weren't as sharp as we need to be in execution or in terms of assignments.
bit fine good prepared
We were prepared to play him a little bit less, but he's in good condition. He was doing fine on the sideline.

We missed you earlier. We're going to fine you for that, take it out of your last check,
address advantage attack extra improve last repeatedly six teams terms time tried trying week
We?re going to try to take advantage of the extra time this week in terms of meetings, and trying to go through some things we feel like, the last six weeks, teams have repeatedly tried to attack us. Those are things we can address and try to improve on.

We're going to approach this as a normal week. We're treating this week just like every other week this year in terms of our preparation for the game.
against bay best bit decisions evaluation everybody final game giants green players quite ready sure younger
I've told everybody to be ready to go. I'm sure that we'll look at some of the players that didn't play as much in the Green Bay game 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 younger players and 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.
contract talked
I've talked to Ty, but we never talked about any contract or anything like that.
game genius heard
I've been in the game for a while. I've heard 'Belichick' and 'genius' together. I've also heard 'Belichick' and 'moron' together.
calls game hard time
It would be hard for me to tell Eugene what he did wrong. There were a lot of calls in that game I'd have a hard time explaining.
