good minimum mistakes players playing simple winning work worry
I worry about what we got, ... I worry about what we got to work with. I feel real good with the players we have. We got to go out, keep mistakes to a minimum and playing winning football. Simple as that. If we do that, I think we'll be just fine.
best calling coach good today worked
The best way for us today was coach Tice calling them in. It worked for us and got us a good rhythm.
best bringing calling coach couple ended good ideas plays throughout today tried worked
We tried a couple of things throughout the week. It ended up with Coach Tice doing it. Coach Loney was up in the booth, calling plays down. He is always bringing up good ideas and he is the (offensive coordinator). But the best way for us today was Coach Tice calling them in. It worked for us and got us in rhythm.
hard-work thinking long
I don't think there's a limit as long as I keep my head right, don't get above myself, work hard and remember where I came from.
ability great player type worked
Nate is primed for a great year. He's worked very hard, and he has a lot of ability, so he's the type of player who makes plays.
afraid confidence guess guys hard notice starting swagger work
Nate has always had a swagger, but I guess you guys are starting to notice it. I'm probably No. 1 or No. 2 in the swagger department. It's confidence because we work hard to be good, and we aren't afraid to say that.
best great hard luck seeing today wish worked
I don't know him personally, but as a player, he's a great player. He's worked very hard to get where he is, obviously, and I wish him the best of luck. That's what I told him today -- 'best of luck in everything you do.' I know I'll be seeing him and just keep doing what you do.
approaches confidence effort gets goes stay work
The first thing I look at is a guy's effort and the way he approaches each day, the way he goes out and gets his work done. I have confidence in him that he'll stay that way.
days definitely few football knew realize team
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.
business care talent team took
We feel we've got a lot of talent on this team and we want to do it now. We took care of business in the offseason.
confidence developed gets great lifts mental mistakes swagger watched
I've watched Nate develop, and he's developed real fast. His swagger and confidence are really what lifts him up and gets him going. He has a great mental game. He doesn't make mistakes at all. And he has just made some spectacular plays.
almost bad episode twilight
It was almost like a bad episode of 'The Twilight Zone,'
top
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.
