anybody ball delivery familiar guys hand hard helped helps hesitate himself hurts indeed jump nice sure themselves throwing
Ramsey has a nice delivery and the ball comes out of his hand really well. It's hard because they're all throwing to guys they're not familiar with. But he was impressive. I hesitate to say anybody helps or hurts themselves in this environment, but I'm sure he helped himself with some teams. Ramsey could indeed jump into that No. 3 position.
advocate current definitive embarrass flag god instant internet johnny kids knows looking officials pictures red taking throw view
I don't know that Johnny wasn't looking at pictures of his kids in that little booth. I'm still an advocate of instant replay, but I've long been an advocate of taking it off the field. Let's take it upstairs. With the current system, I've got to expend a timeout, embarrass the officials and throw a red flag out on the field, let him go in and look at God knows what on the Internet and come out and tell me I didn't get a definitive view to overrule it.
ball catch games ourselves position run therefore throw
If we're going to win, we're going to have to run the ball more, ... Therefore we'll have to be in games that are more controllable that we don't put ourselves in a position where we have to throw to catch up.
ball bit build certain certainly change defense enhanced good profile remain run success sure thrown tried
We've had a lot of success with a certain profile, ... I'm not sure that as much as we've tried to change the profile a little bit -- and I think we have enhanced it, I think we've thrown the ball a little bit better -- it hasn't been as productive. I think we can build on that, but our profile should remain the same: Play good defense and run the ball well, which we haven't done in two games. That certainly has to be a focus.
ball defense dictates exactly expansion game good offense points profile run score special throw
We want to score more points, ... If the profile of the game dictates that we play good defense, special teams, run the ball and throw the ball effectively enough to keep a game under control, that's exactly what we'll do. Yes, we'd like to score more points. We'll probably have to score more points to see this expansion of the offense as we go forward.
ball bell cow far kyle numbers surely team though throw thus
Kyle surely would like to throw the ball more, but he understands who the bell cow on this team is. Even though the numbers don't look very good, I'm very comfortable thus far with his decision-making process.
anxious both football good kyle learned next saw three thrown
He went 23 of 39. If he were 21 of 37 and not thrown two of those passes, it would have been a (heck) of a day and a win. This is why I'm anxious to see the next three games. I learned and saw a lot in yesterday's game, both good and bad, not just about Kyle but about this whole football team.
allowed command good pocket throws
He did some very good things. It showed he was in command of the game. He was much more fundamentally sound, calmer in the pocket that allowed him to make the better throws that he made.
accuracy tends throwing
He has the size, the accuracy and the throwing action. He's a spectacular talent, but he doesn't look like anybody. So that tends to make us all nervous.
chris clearly mobile outside somebody throws
Clearly with as much eight-man fronts as we've seen, we have to have somebody mobile who can make the throws outside when we get those one-on-ones. Can Chris do that? That's what we have to see.
calling fans mantra step throw
I'll throw my mantra out there again. I'm calling on the fans to step to another level,
frame game kyle stepped team therefore tried
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.
careful counted ease figuring great people
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.
catch chance guy injury late
When a guy comes in late to camp, he quadruples the chance for injury because he has to catch up.
