beforehand chance close game happened win
That was another close game we just couldn't win at the end. There were a lot of things that should have happened beforehand to give us a chance to win that ballgame, so it never does come down to one play.
against ball chance consider defense fashion felt guys hurt negative officials takes yelling
Guys disagreed with some of the calls. Guys felt that the play they could have made they didn't get a chance to make because of the defense that was against them, ... and (they) reacted in what I would consider a negative fashion because it takes you out of your ball game. You can't be yelling at the officials and all those other things, so I think it hurt us. But it was that kind of a ball game.
chance claimed guys help hopefully looking recognize relate success talented understand
No. 1, we claimed him because we think he's a very talented player. He's got size, speed, quickness. No. 2, we feel we can have success with guys who are looking for another chance to do well. I think we can relate to that and understand that, and hopefully help him recognize what his abilities are.
almost capability chance guy last looking
We had a chance to get Reggie Swinton and jumped on it, ... Reggie was a guy we almost got two years ago. We almost got him last year. We think he'll give us that explosive, big-play capability that we've been looking for.
came chance guys hard played short upsets win
I think that our guys played hard and that's really what you want. We had a chance to win it. Where we came up short in that we did not win it. That's what upsets you as a coach.
best camp chance either game guys practice regular training work
Guys should work every day. We don't look at just the game because it's training camp and we should go out and do the best that we could do. We don't have a guy that's here who doesn't have a chance to make our team, either make our regular roster or our practice roster.
expected fact gnawing
What's gnawing at me is the fact that I've not done as well as I expected to do.
clear difficulty felt few football guys league national sailing takes winner
We felt he still has what it takes to be a winner in the league and to be a leader. Difficulty is a part of the game. There are very few guys who have clear sailing in the National Football League.
scratch secret start success
The Secret of success is to start from scratch & keep scratching
upsets
Things have to go the way you want them to go, and I think that's probably what upsets me the most as a coach.
guy higher rated reinforce reminder sure
There will be times where you reinforce your thought process. A lot of times, you need a reminder because it could come up in the draft. It always does, you look and say, 'Are we sure this guy isn't better than that guy?' You say no, this is why this guy is rated higher than that guy.
eight guard guys
And we have about eight guys who can play guard or tackle.
ball behind both games hopefully nearly rectify running
Both games we got behind you are not running the ball nearly as much as you want to. Hopefully we can rectify that.
blow broken noses occur
Broken noses do occur in the game, unfortunately. He kind of got a blow right in between the facemask and his helmet. We'll know more about that once we get an idea from the doctors.
