adverse difficult extremely good guys handling hard job played season until
Our guys played hard until the end again. They did a good job of handling a lot of adverse situations. It's been an extremely difficult season for all of us.
compete football improved takes team win
Overall, we improved as a football team yesterday. We did more of the things it takes to go in and compete and win a game.
drawing good
I think what they're doing is good for the game. They're drawing a lot of attention. They haven't really been challenged.
defense matter players
I think what it comes down to, no matter what defense you're in, it's a matter of players going out and making plays. I think many times (the scheme) is overrated.
totally
I think what you have is two totally different situations.
ball empty excellent execution game knew last leaves lose phases played reason talented team three time turned
I think any time you lose a game like today, it leaves you with an empty feeling. We played a talented team and there is a reason why that team was 15-1 last year. We knew going in that it was going to take excellent execution on our part in all three phases of our team. Unfortunately we did not get that, we turned the ball over early.
consistency pleased punch sitting
I was pleased with the consistency of our first-team offense. We went right down the field. But when you're sitting at the one on first-and-goal, you want to punch it in, so we're disappointed in that.
business coach football head heart job obviously soul tough understand win work
Well this obviously has been a long, tough year. I'm disappointed that things had to end this way. I understand this business and I understand your job as a head football coach is to win games. Obviously when you put your heart and soul into something and it doesn't work out the way that you wanted and anticipated, then you're disappointed.
contribute guy special
We've had him working on that. He's a guy we thought could really contribute on special teams.
satisfied takes whatever
We aren't satisfied with where we are and we'll do whatever it takes to get to where we want to go.
base execute happy hard job poise work
We aren't happy where we are. We have to do a better job in the base fundamentals of the game. We have to work hard to keep our poise and to execute under pressure.
adjustment direction forward help move needed performed
We have not performed up to our expectations. We needed to make an adjustment to help us move forward in the direction we want to go.
areas compete excellent happy improve obviously order positive step team yesterday
We know Jacksonville has an excellent team and in order for us to go over and compete with their team, there are some areas we have to improve in. But yesterday was a very positive step and we're obviously happy to get our first win.
ball consistency moving using
We'll get it squared away. We weren't able to get the kind of consistency we wanted moving the ball because we were using different combinations (of players).
