athlete concert connection constant impact league management move proper pursue tried
We're disappointed that it went down this way. We aggressively tried to pursue an athlete that we thought would dramatically impact our team, and we did it in constant concert and connection with the league and the management council. We proceeded in the proper way we were told to proceed, and now we find out that the circumstances are different. That's regrettable, but we'll move on.

ball catch force guy guys hand lack move plays shots three turn ways
It wasn't for lack of shots, ... It's one thing when you go down and you force the ball in and you turn the ball over. We've done that. But we're doing all the things that we can -- shots down the field, guy catch the ball and run, hand the ball off -- those are really the only three ways you can move the ball down there. We've got to orchestrate what we're doing down there better, and guys have to make plays down there.

I'm sure it does to a degree for the players, ... I know it does for me, but you don't start camp with that mentality. We've spent an entire offseason addressing and looking very candidly at why that happened and addressing the reason for it. This team needs to move forward very aggressively. We're very proud of the legacy we have here, but this team's going to have a new identity, it really is. It's different than any team we've had.

We tried to frame it as a playoff-caliber game because it was for them, and therefore it was for us. The whole team -- and Kyle -- stepped up to the challenge.

We just got to be careful now, we can't get him hurt. I don't know if that is something he and his people counted on, figuring great he signed, he will start. No he won't. I've got to find out where he is at (mentally) and ease him into it.

When a guy comes in late to camp, he quadruples the chance for injury because he has to catch up.

We have to correct the things which left us vulnerable in the second half of the Indianapolis game and the Tennessee game.
