game gives hit running
We went deep. We went short. We hit on medium-range passes. We got our running game going. Jake gives us another dimension.
ball bread opens rolling running time
Running the ball is what we do well. It's our bread and butter. It's always been the coach's way to win. Any time we can get the ball rolling on the ground, it opens up a lot of things for us.
becomes becoming drive humor last leave lost might run weeks
Well, ... I might as well keep a sense of humor because if I leave it up to you all, you're going to run me into the ground, drive me crazy. The last two weeks we haven't won, so now it's becoming a problem. When you're winning, it really don't matter, but when you're not winning, it becomes a problem. We've lost our last two games, and I've got to find a way to get in the end zone.
abandoned beat deal execute game hard plan reason run sit time whatever
I don't know what the deal was, but we abandoned the run. We abandoned the run -- I don't know what it was. I can't sit here and tell you it was because of the fumbles or it wasn't, but for whatever reason it was, we abandoned the run. I think when we get to go out there and execute our game plan it's hard to beat us. Every time we become one-dimensional we end up losing.
running opportunity player
As far as dude running the ball, or running with the ball, and somebody hit you helmet to helmet, I think you got an opportunity to go down. You got an opportunity to slide.
running done may
I'm instinctive. I'm still learning how to run the ball. What I've done may look good to everyone else, but I know I'm capable of more than I've shown.
running men trying
When a grown man is chasing you around a building or running through the hotel and trying to jump in your elevator, oh man, I can't even see it. What excitement can you possibly get from having my autograph besides selling it?
ball builds execute game goal last line open paid passing run short stuck third three weeks
Third down had been killing us for the last three weeks and to come out and execute and not get in the shotgun, and to actually run the ball when we got to on third and short and to come out and execute, it just builds confidence, and it's going to open up our passing game. We come out on third and short and we haven't been converting, but in this game, we stuck with the run all game long and it paid off: Once we got down to the goal line we stuck it in again.
behind capable help knowing red runs save zone
Ladell is capable of big runs and knowing that he's behind me, I can go out on every play and give my all. I don't have to save anything for once you get down in the red zone if I don't have anything in my tank. I think Ladell is going to help us out.
definitely offensive plays run situation
If it were my team, I'd run all the plays for myself. But I'm not the offensive coordinator, and I probably put us in that situation by fumbling. I don't know if that was definitely the reason, but I put us in that situation.
adopt alexander bounds everybody extra fresh great league longest maybe mentality might people running soft staying sure taking
He might think I'm the devil, but Shaun Alexander is a great back. For the longest time, people said he was soft and couldn't do this and couldn't do that. Right now, he's the league MVP. Maybe we need all to adopt that mentality of him staying fresh by running out of bounds and not taking the extra pounding. That got him the league MVP. I'm sure everybody will like to be in his shoes.
game running solid
I just feel when we're in our game plan, the running game has been there. Unfortunately, we've always been behind. We just want to play solid and not be one-dimensional. We get one-dimensional, we get in trouble.
cleaning found guys locker needed none packing ready talked win
We talked about packing up. We needed to go out and find a way to win or we were going to be cleaning out our lockers. I wasn't ready to clean my locker out. I don't think none of the other guys were, either. We found a way to win.
almost
I used to do gymnastics. I almost made it to the Olympics, back in '98, I think,
