We haven't been very good on the road, and I don't know what's contributing to that. We've handled it the same way. We just haven't done the things that you have to do on the road to win. One of them is you've got to get the crowd out of it. We've always been behind, and that's a little bit of our problem, too.
He was chomping at the bit last night, so that's why we didn't put pads on him.
He was champing at the bit . . . so that's why we didn't put pads on him,
He was champing at the bit last night, so that's why we didn't put pads on him.
He has not played a lot of football since the season was over with, and it's a little bit of a new offense, asking to do some things a little different. One thing about Chad, he's very, very hard on himself, and he'll bounce back.
I always used to say this when we won, it's not easy going to the playoffs, ... I think now these guys are realizing that they've been on a little bit of a carpet ride. You kind of take that for granted.
I owe him that. I owe him that, his career and what he did for us this year. I think it is fitting for him to play a little bit and I am going to try and get that done for him.
I mean, he's a little bit bigger, obviously, than Santana, so he's a little bit more physical. He had real good chemistry with the quarterback the year that he was our MVP, and I just think that's something that him and the quarterback have always had. They have just had that feel.
We have to figure out how to protect these guys.
We turned the ball over five times. That's one (reason). Two, I wasn't going to put that quarterback in harm's way any longer. Three, I wasn't going to send out our defense again by turning the ball over. That's my decision. That's what you do for your team.
When it first got started it was really the thing to be on if you were a player. I can remember when I first came in; you were excited about Monday night. It was a special deal and I think it still is.
We got our running game going a little bit, so that's a good sign for us. We ran the ball pretty good. Curtis had a really good day. He made some big runs for us, but we got behind and played that way. We could never close the gap.
We're going to try to fit him with a brace and see where he's at.
We're very glad we have him. He's a guy that's won a lot of games in this league. Players respect him because of what he's done, how he's come in here and handled the position we've asked him to take. Obviously, if something should happen (to Pennington) we feel like he can go in the game and play and win for us.
