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.
ball clock control goal good hope job line quarter running short situations third yards
It?s always good to make those yards when you need them, like in short yardage and goal line situations or like that third quarter (against the Jets) when you're going into the wind. You want to try to control the clock a little bit. Those are important yards, too. I think we can do a better job in running the ball than we did. I hope we can.
attention game normal regular short team week
We've got a short week this week with New Orleans, ... It's a team we play in the regular season, so we'll try to put more attention in this game than a normal preseason game because it will come up in the regular season.
team shortcuts bricks
There are no shortcuts to building a team each season. You build the foundation brick by brick.
amount bring familiar game guy hard picked short street system time tough worked
For the short amount of time he was here, he worked hard and picked up things pretty well, assignments and all that. It's tough to bring a guy in here off the street who's not familiar with your system and then put him in the game for a significant amount of plays. To his credit, I thought he was competitive.
complement gains good passing rate runs short throw turns
I don't rate them, but he's pretty good. There really isn't much that he can't do. He's good in the passing game. He runs inside. He runs outside. He runs with power. He has a lot of speed. He turns short gains into long ones . . . he can throw it. I think he has a pretty good complement of skills.
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.
fine last missed
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.
approach normal terms treating week year
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.
