air arms chance drop four guy reach three throw
You got a guy 6-5 and his arms reach about 11 feet, you just have to give him a chance to make play and go up and take the ball. When you can just drop back there and take like three or four hitches and then throw it about 60 in the air to Randy, what could be better?
calls confidence everybody felt man though throws
It felt great. I have confidence in myself. I can make the throws and play this game, even though everybody calls me an old man for some reason. I don't know why.
fit mentally smart throw tough tried
That was one I tried to fit in there, ... Sometimes you take shots. You take chances. But if it's not there, throw it away. ... We need to be smart and mentally tough and not do those things.
book earlier fit greatest heat high incomplete maybe moment move threw throw trying
I threw it and you've got to move on. I would throw it a lot earlier and put it only where Book can get it, maybe high and outside. If it's incomplete, it's incomplete and we move on. When you're in the heat of the moment and you're trying to fit one in, sometimes it's not the greatest thing to do.
ball continue game holding mix running throw
We've got to mix it up and continue to do what we're doing. We would get a little running game going, but then we would have to throw it because we would get a holding call. When you play from behind, too, that's also the way it some times has to be. You throw the ball a lot more.
attack miss shots strike throw wind zone
We still had to attack that and then when they give us that coverage, we have to take our shots and throw it. It's just like pitching. When you throw a fastball, you are going to miss the strike zone every once in a while. You have to wind up and throw it again.
phone
The phone . . . probably the kids. They're always doing that.
drive good points ugly
When you have third-and-10, third-and-15, and third-and-20, you have some difficulties. It was an ugly kind of game. We had a good drive and didn't get any points and then we were kind of stalemated for a while. We had some opportunities and didn't make the plays.
against defense good
Turnovers killed us. The Steelers are a good defense and you can't do that against them.
figure team
We have to figure out what kind of team we are. Myself, I put a lot of that on me. I have to go out and make the plays.
asked coach game good great guys
We had a good game plan, ... Coach Linehan called a great game. Guys did what we asked them to do.
notice
I didn't notice Keith Traylor that much in Denver.
game guys pushing season step
I don't feel that way at all. I just know I've got to keep working and we all have to keep pushing as quarterbacks because there was one season in 12 years where I've started every game and made it through the whole season. More times than not, there are going to be other guys that are going to have to step in and play.
addition bit brown continue good helped hope hurt obviously player positive ricky ronnie took true win
I don't know that it's true and I hope it isn't, but it obviously would hurt us because he was a positive addition for us on offense. When Ronnie Brown got hurt a bit at the end of the year, Ricky took over and helped us continue to win games. He's a good player for us and big in our success. It would hurt not to have him.
