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.
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.
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.
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.
beat close football good plays takes
We had our opportunities and were close on a few, but we didn't make the plays it takes to beat a good football team.
beat convert football good team
To beat a good football team like Jacksonville, you've got to convert all of your opportunities.
confident exactly good players worst
To me, the worst thing you can do is do too many things, where the players are uncertain. I don't think they play as aggressive. The most important thing is, come Sunday, that they're confident and feel good going out there. They know exactly what to do, and they know exactly how to do it.
good point
From that point on, we really didn't get a lot done. We're going to have to take a good look at it as we go through the preseason process.
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.
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.
