american-coach call football great pass
I think the pass to Hines was just a great call by Whiz.
I think that he's become a better quarterback.
good needed played position solid tackled
I thought he did a lot of good things. He tackled very well. He was in position when needed to be in position. I thought he played a solid game.
comfort control design intended level offense plays question understanding year
I think you'll find in any second-year player, his comfort level is much greater. There's no question he's more comfortable with our offense and understanding the plays and the design of the plays and where they're intended to go. Consequently, he's much more in control of the huddle than he was a year ago.
against ahead ball best games guy run seized willie
I think Willie is a guy who has seized an opportunity. For the first two games he got over 100 yards. We didn't really run the ball that well against New England, but Willie is a guy who has a lot going for him and the best is still ahead of him.
comfort level
I think the comfort level he's at, to me, is the most important thing, and that's very evident.
bad good happened
I thought we had a good play called. I don't know what happened with the center-quarterback exchange. That was a very bad series.
advantage chance continue drive earlier good hopefully learn
I thought we had a chance earlier in that drive to do that. Hopefully that?s something we?ll learn from and continue to read and take advantage of with Quincy back there. We thought that was a good match-up.
decisions game good looked
I thought the game slowed down for him this week. He made good decisions and looked comfortable out there. When you've been out that long, you have to get back up to game speed.
given lost playoff road seven straight three week wins won
I think we lost a little from the week off. We had won seven straight and those three road playoff wins had given us momentum. I think we lost a little of our sharpness.
appear coming deep dire guess morning regards relief sigh situation
I think we'll all have a deep sigh of relief in regards to the diagnosis. I guess the dire situation we thought we had coming in here this morning doesn't appear to be that right now.
bypass chance drafting fortunate high picking player premier sitting
I think we were very fortunate to be sitting there with Ben. You don't ever want to be drafting that high too often, but we were picking that high, and when you have a chance to get a premier player like that, you can't bypass him.
ball fortunate honest
I think we were just fortunate to have the ball last, to be honest with you.
both phase respect teams
I think both teams have a lot of respect for each other. I know in our minds, we're going to have to play well in every phase of the game.
