We had a little problem there. We did, ... We need to improve our underneath coverage with our inside linebackers. That's one thing we need to do. We've got a lot of inexperience in there now. We've got a little problem here and there. We'll try to get it fixed.
Contract extension? Well, when it's appropriate, we'll see. I don't want to talk about that either.
We had two false starts, two penalties on the offensive line and four sacks. That's enough to stop some drives right there. We just got physically beat up.
That's unusual for that team not to hit the quarterback, ... They usually do that a lot. They didn't hit him once, so I was happy about that.
Listen, the NFL season at best is a tiring process. When you've been going every day since July 29, every single day, it's tiring for me. I don't know what it is for the other guys. When I see them on Sunday, they all look tired, too.
It doesn't look good for Jones. I'm hopeful we'll get over this. I think that's why we're having a tendency to not really push it, because I don't want him to have a reoccurrence and have him be out for the rest of the year.
I think he was kind of worn down, and he just looked like he didn't have a lot of gas on Sunday, ... I talked to him about that after the game. I said, 'Hey, we've got to get gas back in your tank.' I might have to rest him a little bit during the week in practice.
I think he kind of tweaked it a little bit. He's just not getting around. I'm getting a little worried about him to tell you the truth.
Wait, he hasn't been that good now, ... He has to improve his short-yardage and goal line. He turns his rear end in the hole too much. That's a bad thing to do if you're an offensive linemen, so I talked to him a little bit about that. But I think just considering everything you have to be pretty pleased with him. I think his confidence is growing.
We've given up three big plays already this year, ... You're always concerned about that. That's something we need to get fixed.
We are facing the top offense in the league. They are running for 166 yards a game, and have a balance that we haven't seen yet. They have a very good offensive line, a very good runner and a good, experienced quarterback. They are going to give us a lot of trouble and this is, balance-wise, the best offense we've played.

I got two high-strung players, you know? That's it.
I don't do many endorsements. I'd rather get doused by Gatorade than bust my butt selling it.
