time
This is not the time to relax. They've had their off time. You can't do that. It's around the corner.
constant eighth game itself margin puts reminder
This is the eighth game that we'll play where we had no margin for error. So it will be a constant reminder about not so much where we are right now, but where we started from. That in itself puts a lot of things into perspective.
balanced element football half hands numbers people run shut taken talk watch
People can look at our run-to-pass ratio, ... but I will say this: Watch us in the first half (this season) because we're still a balanced football team. But when we get a lead, that element is taken out of the hands of the quarterback and we will run the ball. So, we just shut it down. It distorts the numbers a little bit, so talk about the numbers in the first half.
call immaculate possession reveal run second
No, something even more diabolical. I call it 'The Immaculate Deception.' I can't reveal any details, but we'll run it on the first play of our first possession in the second quarter.
anybody guys move officials stopped three touch
The officials said we didn't move on offense. But they didn't touch anybody on defense. But they had three guys in the backfield and they stopped the play with no call. That was bizarre.

addition continued football grow pleasant
As he's continued to grow with this offense, he's become more a part of it. He's been a very pleasant addition to this football team, without a doubt.
call good nature open second spark thoughts
The call was made to try to get us a spark and get us another possession. That's my decision. If it works, it's a good play. If it doesn't, you're open to second guessing, which is the nature of this business. But I have no second thoughts about that, I really don't.
calling looked year
A year ago he was calling the plays, I don't know if he looked up in the huddle,
bit draft extra good maybe move quality stay
That's what's good. You get those picks, get some extra picks, maybe move a little bit in the draft or stay and get some good quality players.
joey proud
That's just Joey being Joey. I'm proud he made it this long.
emotional joey leader
That's just Joey being Joey. He's the emotional leader of our team.
evaluation good judgment process smart
That's good judgment. If you're a rookie, I can sense if you use good judgment or not. So, I can tell how smart he is. It's a good evaluation process for me.
gave good played three
Defensively we played a pretty good game. We gave up only three points. We didn't give up a touchdown. But we've got to play better than we did.
