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.
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.
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.
coaches either good last means sustain turned
What you did last week, good or bad, means nothing ... You're either a 10 or a one. There's no in-between. The coaches that can sustain and find a way to get things turned around are the ones (that are successful).
adversity deal good guys handle hit job teams
From a fundamental standpoint, particularly on defense, I didn't do a good enough job of getting the guys prepared. We hit adversity. We did not deal with adversity the way championship teams deal with adversity. We didn't handle it well.
accomplish anyone believe coaching college effective efficient good help looking ourselves staff ways
I believe we have as good a coaching staff as anyone in college football. But we are always looking for ways to make ourselves more efficient and effective and these adjustments help us accomplish that.
along football further good guys job magazines newspapers preventing reading team thinking
I didn't do a good enough job of getting the guys prepared. I must not have done a good enough job of preventing our guys from reading newspapers and magazines and thinking we were a little further along or a better football team than we are today.
good great win
This was a great win for us ... A good win, I should say.
good ourselves
We've got a long way to go before we feel good about ourselves around here,
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.
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.
