gotten guys job
We've got a lot of young guys that have gotten on the job training.
ability mind point question special teams time
There is no question in my mind that we have more playmaking ability in our special teams than we've had at any point in time we've been here.
decided help improve joe move needed offensive promoted turn
We decided that we needed to make a move to improve our offense. We promoted Joe to offensive coordinator because we feel that he will be able to help us turn this around.
case hope plan respond
Our plan is to have him do a little more in practice. Hopefully, he'll respond the way we hope he'll respond, and in that case he'll be the starter.
football good responsibility strides three win
Our responsibility was to win football games, and we made good strides the first three seasons, but we didn't get it done this year. I'm disappointed that things had to end this way.
deal effort felt focused game last playoff plays teams watch
I think that a big part of this game is how you deal with distractions. I've always felt that when you watch teams in the last game of the season, especially if they are out of the playoff race, it comes down to the most focused team and who plays with the most effort comes out on top. It's a challenge.
awful efficient game hard negative offensive sloppy
I think there's an awful lot for us to learn. We were not sharp. We were too sloppy at times with the turnovers and penalties. It's hard to have an efficient offensive game if you have that many negative plays.
example excellent great improved player production works
I think he's done an excellent job. He's just a great example of a young player that works hard, has improved and the production has showed up on the field.
knack quickness rushing
I think his quickness and speed. He's got a knack for rushing the passer.
anytime awful begins difference four games hard prove statistics win
It all begins with the takeaway/giveaway. Anytime you go four games and don't get a takeaway and you're minus-8, it really doesn't make a whole lot of difference what else you do. Statistics prove that it's awful hard to win when you don't get a takeaway.
accomplish enable forward goal good move players saw team trying
Our No. 1 goal is trying to find 53 players that will enable us to have the kind of team that can move forward and accomplish the things we want to accomplish. I saw a lot of good things early.
penalties special
That's way too many penalties on special teams.
area camp caught overtime ton training worked
Jerome caught a ton of punts in training camp because he really hadn't done much of that in college. We kind of worked him overtime in that area during camp.
fighting giving looking plays
Jerome has really been giving us a spark. When you are fighting through what we are fighting through, you are looking to try to make plays any way you can.
