left players playing plus side tackle
We like what he's done. He makes some errors, but all young players make some errors. The thing about him is that he is playing the left side and that's big when you can find a left tackle that you feel can play the position. That's a plus for us.
ball coming great grow sell side tickets understand win
I've always had great expectations for defense. Your mind-set as a coach, you know you win with defense, you sell tickets with offense. They understand where I'm coming from. You grow up on one side of the ball you always feel that way.
good run side
When they can play on the other side of the ball, it allows our linebackers to run to the ball. When that's happening, all of a sudden, a lot of good things are going to happen.
either happening happens plays side teams
You need to make some plays to get energy. We haven't made enough big plays on either side of the ball. That's what happens to teams that are losing. That's what's happening to us.
figure protect
We have to figure out how to protect these guys.
again ball defense five send turned turning
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.
came deal excited monday remember special
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.
ball behind close game good played ran running runs sign
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.
fit
We're going to try to fit him with a brace and see where he's at.
asked games glad guy handled happen players position respect win won
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.
coming great guy played season
I've played that position. You get 10 interceptions in one season, that's pretty good. He had a great season for a guy coming off an injury.
football help since team thinks time
It would be the first time he didn't show up for one since I've been here. The one thing about Curtis Martin, if he doesn't think he can help the football team, he won't do it. If he thinks he can help the football team then he will play.
good win
It would've been a good win for all of us, because we could use one of those right now,
cut enhance extra four generally guys league parts past since trying
I've been in the league since the 1970s, or for parts of the past four decades. There's always going to be those guys that want a little extra or need a little extra and are trying to cut corners. They generally feel that they need to enhance their play. It's a never-ending battle. But that's just part of our society.
