ball carry guy plays
Do we have one guy that we say, 'Hey, you're the guy. You're going to carry the ball 25-30 times?' Maybe. We'll have to see how that plays out.
ability passing plays respect weapons
You have to respect their passing ability because they have a lot of weapons and they can make plays in the passing game.
either fall maybe plays time trap wasting work
There are some things that one does maybe a little better than the other, but we would not fall into that trap of wasting time working on plays that either one couldn't work or run.
left obvious plays work
We still have a lot of work to do. It was real obvious there were a lot of plays out there that we kind of left on the field, particularly on offense.
atmosphere came field healthy liked looked overall plays pleased
Overall I was pleased with today. We have a long way to go but I liked the way some things looked today. Being at Heinz Field was good, the atmosphere was good. We were able to get in about 100 plays and we came out healthy which is very important.
entire last plays safety season week
He made more plays in one week at linebacker than he made the entire season at safety last year. I just think he's comfortable there. He doesn't have to think as much, and he can get to the football.
plays
He made a lot of plays up front.
bobby knight love players plays
I love that expression, I think Bobby Knight said it: It's not how many plays you can run. It's how well do your players play. That's about where we're at right now.
committed kids recruiting signing track trying weekend
We just had a big recruiting weekend and we have two more scheduled before signing day. We are right on track with where we need to be with all of the kids we have committed and the ones we are still trying to get.
defensive good offensive player
We signed, arguably, as good an offensive and defensive player as there was in New York.
behind fell force three turn
We fell behind early, but we were able to force three turnovers and turn them all into touchdowns.
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.
defensive definitely game hope line playing run running struggled ways
The run game struggled but I hope that's because our defensive line is playing better. We have a ways to go running the ball. We definitely have to get a lot better at that.
