against backs chasing fast gets good ran realize runs time toughest yards
I think Shane is the toughest back we have, I didn't realize how tough he was. You can see that by the yards he gets after he gets hit. But I also like that he has had some runs where he outran people. He is one of those backs who wouldn't time real good if he ran against the clock, but he can run as fast as he has to when someone is chasing him.
confidence establish good last might obvious took week
We just completely took away any kind of confidence that we might have been able to establish on offense. It's so disappointing right now. It's obvious we're not a very good team. Last week it was the defense, and this week it was offensively.
blitz blocked chance good guys job level matter mystery newspapers reading ready stop third win
They blocked us, there's no mystery in that. I didn't do a good enough job of getting these guys ready ? they must have been reading the newspapers too much and that's my fault. We've got to get better ? if you can't stop the run, you've got no chance to win no matter the level and we've got to get that done. We wanted to blitz them, but we could never get them to third down.

chance encouraged gives good looked offense overall
The offense overall looked good. There was good protection, no turnovers and no fumbles. I was encouraged by the way they looked today. Getting those little things right gives you the chance to win.
good ourselves
We've got a long way to go before we feel good about ourselves around here,
defensive good offensive player
We signed, arguably, as good an offensive and defensive player as there was in New York.
expected good win
We expected to win this game, ... but it was still good to put it on the record.
against good played team type
You don't have a real good feel for what type of team you have because you haven't really played against anybody,
chose class expect foundation good pittsburgh players university
This class will be a good foundation for the future. Most of these players had a lot of (other offers). Most of these players chose the University of Pittsburgh because they expect to win.
beat confident good mind needed turning
It was really in my mind a turning point, ... We needed to beat a good opponent. We were more confident than we had been in the past.
backs backward game good involved last offense played running score spring springs start three throws today
I've been involved in springs where, the last week, you're going backward -- you go out for the spring game and the quarterback throws three interceptions, the running backs fumble and the offense doesn't score a touchdown. Then you start making excuses. But we played well enough today and did enough good things.
ball catch good protects
Rashad, in all the scrimmages we had, was very consistent. He makes good reads. He can catch the ball. He protects the ball well.
either gets good guys major reason selfish smart understand
The good thing about him is he gets it. He understands the whole picture. A lot of guys would never get it. Either they're too selfish or they're not smart enough to understand it. But with Ricky, as long as we're winning, he's going to be a major reason why.
