difference easy explain focus last penalties talked whether
That's the easy way to explain it. But it was different things at different times. We talked about pre-snap penalties last week, and they continue. In my mind, that's just focus and concentration. It does not make a difference whether you are young or old. That's just focus.
appreciate contribute difference difficult difficulty game guys immediate learning list outside overcome people players position problems rookie short speed steep takes talk year
It's just a difficult position to come into as a rookie and make a big impact. I don't think people outside the game appreciate the difficulty involved. I mean, you can talk about the speed of the game, and how different it is, but there are a lot of other things that contribute to the problems players have at the position. It's a very steep learning curve, and it takes some guys a year or two to overcome it. It's a very short list of guys who come in and make an immediate difference at the position.
backs coach defensive talked team wants
He wants to make this team so bad, he talked to our defensive backs coach about being a defensive back.
athlete bit coaching communication dinosaurs guys maybe plenty talk telling
I'm not telling you that there are not some dinosaurs coaching in this league, because there is plenty of them - and maybe they do it a little bit differently. I just think the communication with today's athlete ... it's important that you have young guys that are able to talk to those guys.
level major months talk three
He's three months out of a major surgery. Before we do anything, we're going to get him back to health. All my talk with the trainers is about getting him back to the level of play he was at in 2004.
competition football good
I've said this all the way along: competition makes good football teams.
conversation football heard million needed
As I mentioned, I never had a conversation with him about this football team. It was always about what he needed financially and money. I never heard team, I always heard me and I and 'I need 10 million dollars. I'm a 10 million-dollar-a-year quarterback.
displace guys handed learning natural pass
Schematically, because all he has really done was getting handed the football, he's still learning the pass game. When we displace him, that is not natural to him. (But) he's one of those guys where if you show him something, he's got it.
quite
Quite frankly, I don't think he wanted to be here anymore.

Brad Johnson was asking me for one as well. He got one yesterday. Plenty of time.
coast detroit head learn looking reading splinters though west
Even though he has been part of this West Coast Offense, all of them go different ways. It kind of splinters off, and you head your own direction. So, some of the things that Detroit was doing, we are not doing the same way here. He has to learn the way you are doing it and how you are reading it and how you are looking at it and our verbiage.
billy couple decided extra good gotten job produce
Billy has gotten incrementally better. He's done a good job in practice. He's gotten a couple of good opportunities around the ball. He was in the right place and the quarterback decided to get it to him. So, when you produce for your quarterback, a lot of times, you get that extra look.

Terrell is a very talented player, but if there's one thing I know about football is that it's about the team, the team, the team, the team, the team, the team.

Everything became about being a $10 million-a-year quarterback.
