bad determined feels fix forth group happened head minimize players point sticking team throughout time veteran whether
Any time you lose, it feels bad whether it is by one point or by 20 points, ... You think about all the things that happened throughout the game. The turnovers, they are really sticking out in my head right now. Turnovers are going to happen, but we must minimize them. We must get back to the fundamentals. We have a veteran group of players on this team that has a lot of pride. We are embarrassed by the way we are playing. We put forth the effort, but we are just making too many mistakes. We need to fix these things and I am determined to fix them.

We just need to get away from football for a few days and realize what we've got here. The thing is, it's going to take some time. We've got a whole new team here when you think about it. We definitely didn't want to be 1-3, but we knew it was going to take some time.

flights house ice knee therapist three
Dr. (James) Andrews recommended a therapist in Orlando, and I've got a one-level house here, so I don't have three different flights (of stairs). There's also no ice on the ground, because if you slip, I'll be right back in surgery. It's better for my knee to be here.
early fighting fights-and-fighting kept lay situations teams
We didn't lay down. A lot of teams would have just folded up in situations like that. We kept fighting through the whole game, and the one thing that is encouraging is it is early in the season.
brad coaches help recognize tendencies trying whatever win
Brad definitely, as much as he can and as much as he remembers, has been trying to help the coaches and myself recognize different things and different tendencies about their team. He's a Viking now, so he's going to help us do whatever he can to help us win and he's doing that.

I should have been on top of communicating better with the receivers.
hit playing position
I've been playing this position a long time, and I know how to get out of those situations. I was off my rhythm, but it's not because I was getting hit. I've been getting hit forever. I've just got to make the plays.

Things are looking good. I'm not going to predict, or rush myself ... I'm just glad to be making the progress that I'm making and hopefully it continues.
Things have slowed down, and I just see it now.
