american-coach biggest concern football left pick sure understand
The biggest concern I have is making sure we understand that we aren't going to pick up where we left off.
brought concerned guys high level loss step sustain
I'm very much concerned with the loss of leadership. Not just what they brought on the field, but off it in their own ways. We have other guys who know they have to step up and sustain that high level of play.
concerned honest last max played
Max played some last year. I am not too concerned about Max at all, to be honest with you.
ball concerned element throw true worried
But we are where we are. That's really the only true element that I'm concerned or worried about. We didn't throw the ball as efficiently as I'd like to see us throw it.
based concerned couple good last news
That's probably good news based on what we were concerned about the last couple of days.
concerned element passing sync true worried
Would I like to see us more in sync in the passing game? Yes. But we are where we are. That's really the only true element (that) I am, if you want to use the word, concerned or worried about.
concerned element liked passing sync true wish worried
Would I have liked to see us be more in sync in the passing game? Yes, ... And that's the one thing I come out of the preseason saying: 'I wish we would have done better.' But we are where we are. That's really the only true element I'm concerned or worried about.
beat biggest concern continue himself pressure timing trying
He's still a young quarterback, ... He's going to continue to grow. He's probably going to have setbacks. That's part of the process. We're trying to get the timing down. But my biggest concern with him is that he doesn't put the pressure on himself, doesn't beat himself up too much.
comparison concerned game looked ready sit suddenly team threw throwing time year
We only threw it 11 times. It's not like we've suddenly arrived, I don't think. Too much comparison has been made to (the preseason). I'm not concerned with that. I'm not ready to sit there and say everything is set with one game ... For the first time this year we looked like a professional team throwing the football.
based certainly concerned couple early five four good last miss news week
He will miss approximately five weeks, four games. That is the early diagnosis. Certainly that can be give and take, a week here and there. Really, what we thought initially, that is probably good news based on what we were concerned about the last couple of days.
ben bothered concerns people
I don't think Ben was bothered by all the things that were said and the concerns a lot of people had, myself included. He'd just say, 'Relax, coach, we'll be OK.
against caliber cannot dwell football game learn move obviously ruin
In hindsight, obviously you wouldn't want to do that in a game like this. Against this caliber of a football team, you cannot ruin opportunities like that. He understands that. I just told him to let it go, learn from it, and let's move on. Don't dwell on it.
chance diego easily fact left picked playing san says team year
In Denver, they had a chance to win. I think this team could very easily be 4-0, ... I think that says a lot about the fact that they've really picked up where they left off a year ago. I don't feel like we're playing like we did a year ago, but I think San Diego is.
consider fact guys reflective special teammates themselves
In my 14 years, I don't think we've ever had so many guys get votes. As I told the team, it was very reflective of what they thought of their teammates and the fact that they really do consider themselves a team. That is pretty special to get that many guys with two or more votes.
