bringing disrupt dropping eight fortunate fourth good hit job mixed plays pressure trying
We mixed it up and did a good job of dropping eight and bringing pressure and trying to disrupt them and get them out of their rhythm. They hit some big plays there in the fourth quarter, and we were fortunate to get out of there with the win.
certainly choosing couple decision easier guys job last position recognized team tough unselfish
They are all very unselfish guys and that certainly will make my job easier (in choosing who plays). While it's a tough decision to make, they have recognized it, and, that position has epitomized the unselfishness on this team the last couple of years.
against break defense good hand job offense signals surprise today work
We did a good job today of having our offense break the huddle quickly. And we've had a lot of work against the no-huddle offense. We have hand signals for the defense on the sideline. So those are things that shouldn't come as any surprise to us.
edges great inspirational job leader setting
I thought Joey's (forced) fumble was huge. Joey's just an inspirational leader for us back there. He did a great job of setting the edges (Sunday).
cousin jobs winning
This isn’t Kirk Cousins’ job to win. Right now this is Kirk Cousins’ job to lose…He’s putting together a profile right now, a resume of these next seven weeks that will make the decision easy for the Redskins: either they sign him to a contract or they’re still looking for the quarterback of the future.
deal element good handling job last louder noise question rca time understand walked
We didn't do a very good job of handling the noise element the last time we went there. I would like to think that having been there once, you know what to expect. When we walked out of the RCA Dome, there was no question that it was louder than we anticipated going in. Now we understand what it is going to be like and we have to deal with it.
aware case composure hitting job leader nice pocket stepping trying waiting
He's been there. It's not a case of having to do too much and trying to put too much on your shoulders. He did a nice job of stepping out of the pocket and hitting check-downs. That's the thing that I liked, his composure and his poise. You could just see he was aware of what was going on around him, waiting things out. He's just being the leader that he is.
charlie element felt fourth good job settled
I felt Tommy had settled down (after the first two interceptions), ... ... He did a good job with the no-huddle element as we went into the fourth quarter. I did not think about (third-stringer) Charlie (Batch) or Ben.
ability course deal good happen job plays respond teams trying weather within
In any big game, a lot of it comes down to an ability to weather storms, to be able to respond to situations. We did a good job down there but we didn't do a very good job up here. It comes down to making plays and trying to be opportunistic and deal with circumstances that happen within the course of a game. With these two teams it's going to come down to execution.
disruptive emotional feed great job leadership
He can be a very disruptive player. Joey's an emotional guy. Certainly, we feed off of that. He does a great job in the leadership role.
continue desperate giving people seven somewhat team weeks
We've been somewhat of a desperate team for a long time. I think we need to continue to play that way. Like I said before, we are still the same team that, seven weeks ago, not a lot of people were giving us a chance.
access chances limit plenty talk tried
We just tried to limit Ben's access this week. You'll all have plenty of chances to talk to him.
against detroit home lost road situation three wherever win
We were put in that situation when we lost those three games. We have to come back and win at home against Detroit and go on the road wherever we need to go.
disrupt dropping eight good mixed mixing pressure
We mixed it up, you have to. We did a good job, dropping eight or mixing pressure to try to disrupt him, get him out of his rhythm.
