plays position until
It's still the Roy-back position until someone plays like him.
allow beat convert execute plays position properly quite
It's one thing to give up some plays and get beat when you're in position or if you execute properly and you're just not quite able to make the play. It's another when you put yourself out of position and allow someone to convert on you or make a big play just because of your own doings.
coming position understand
Those conversations are usually pretty short. He hasn't been in that position much, and I understand where he was coming from.
assignment ball boundary busting covering deep entire gave good outside played positions route secondary solid somebody tackled wheel
I thought the secondary played solid and good the entire day. The one deep wheel route we gave up on our boundary was somebody else outside of the secondary busting an assignment and not covering their guy. They tackled well for the most part, their positions on the ball and challenging in many coverage, I thought, were really pretty good.
against game haunt instance kept knee maybe position reason rotten side texas
What we were doing at the end of the game, we've never done before. The other side of it is, if we don't do it, for instance when we did take a knee against Texas Tech, does that then come back and haunt you? Is that the reason that maybe kept you out of something, and how do you live with that as well? Its really a rotten position to play in.
career decided extra good move possibly successful sure wants whatever work
I'm sure possibly all the extra work probably could be bothersome to him healthwise, and he just decided he wants to move on. Good for him. He'll have a successful career in whatever he does.
chance fighting fights-and-fighting good pushing work
I know what will be written, but we're a work in progress, ... We're fighting that. We're going to keep pushing and making improvements each week, and if we do that, we have a chance to have a good team.
fact life players
I like the fact that the players feel it and have some life in them,
Everyone said, 'That was a recipe, this is how everyone will do it,'
fluke
It was kind of a fluke injury. There really wasn't much contact.
ball both discipline good physical players sides strong win
On both sides of the ball I see strong discipline, very good schemes, and players that play in a physical way. They play hard. That's why they win so often.
bit gave guess mad plenty pride wearing worry yard
Once, he was a little mad that we only gave him one yard on a run. I said, 'Don't' worry about it. You'll get plenty of yards.' I guess that was a way to keep his pride a little bit while wearing blue.
areas badly close guys played positive smart
I'm not sensitive. That's what you guys do. There are some areas where we need to play better, you don't have to tell us. But I'm smart enough to see the positive side, that as badly as we played in the first half, we were still close enough to come out with the win.
business good
I'm not much of a rooter. They're two really good teams. I don't get into anybody's business but mine.
