I'm proud of the team. The players played hard and I thought they played well and made the plays they needed to make to win the game.
No. I wouldn't say so. The guys played last year against San Francisco.
Right now, we're up against one of the hottest teams in the league. Miami is playing as good as anybody, and they've played very well lately, at home and on the road....We have our hands full.
Maybe they played on their feet in high school, or as a freshman or sophomore in college, and then they got bigger and went down to the defensive line. Sometimes there is something to go back on there -- not always, but occasionally.
Obviously it was a game where they made more plays than we did. I congratulate Mike and the Denver Broncos. They are a good football team. They earned the right to play here (Saturday) and they played well.
The Denver Broncos will be our toughest challenge this season. To have any chance, it will take our best game and certainly a lot better performance than the last time we played them.
As usual, Tom played his best football when it counted.
It's hard to get four quarterbacks the amount of reps that are really productive. You know, we've got two players that really haven't played any football at all for this organization and we're going to have to make some kind of evaluation on where they are. And the only way to evaluate them is to see them play.
They played better than we did. They deserved to win. They outplayed us, they outcoached us, they out performed us.
They played well, ... They played a good football game. They played better then we did. They deserved to win. They outplayed us. They outcoached us. They outperformed us.
A lot of guys you?re looking at in college haven?t played on their feet and on first and second down, that?s probably where they would be playing for us. We?re looking at projecting guys who were down, to projecting them up to playing on their feet and that?s definitely a conversion.
We're going to do what we think is best. What we did against Oakland may or may not be what we think is best against Carolina. Last year we played Indianapolis in one type of a defense. We played Pittsburgh in another type of a defense. We played Philadelphia in another type of a defense. We're going to do what we think we need to do to try to match up and stop the opponents. I'm not making any promises to anything or anybody about what we're going to do.
Chad is improving a little bit every day, like a lot of our newer players are, ... I don't think he's ever really played this position. But he's a smart guy. He picked it up well and he's a good football player.
Honestly, we went through this at the end last year with the San Francisco game (and the starters played most of the game). Were treating this like a regular week ... I don't think anybody else really knows any other way to do it around here?. I don't think the players do. I don't think the coaches do. It's football season. Maybe I'll see it differently next week. I don't know.
