advantage late played plays run seven six
I can't say I'm surprised, ... (Stefan) made some plays. Late in preseason games, if you're in his situation, that's what you have to do. That's all I ever played in for my first six or seven years in the League, and you've got to take advantage of it. You've got to run around and make some plays and that's what he did.
ball guy run special throw
We run the ball pretty effectively. When we've had opportunities to throw it, we're getting one-on-one opportunities and we have a guy that we think is pretty special with the ball in his hands.
came guy lost perfect pressure run slant vision
They came with pressure and we had a slant route, ... I thought that because we had never run it out of this formation that it was a perfect call. I really lost vision of the guy and that's on me.
blueprint run
We want to run the ball, ... I think that is our blueprint for success. And we do that pretty well.
football people roll run steve
The way that you get people not to roll with Steve is you run the football effectively.
perfect run
I thought because we had never run it out of that formation at all -- I just thought it was the perfect call.
hitch option ran running time
He had the option of running a hitch or a takeoff (route). By the time I planted to see if he was going to run the hitch, he just ran by the cornerback.
arizona bay certain change defense extra football game green guy happen help plan played roll running somewhat type
Arizona, do they change their whole game plan to be like Green Bay? Green Bay had kind of played that defense somewhat where they would roll to a certain side, ... Arizona is not really that type of team. They are an eight-in-the-box kind of football team. So we'll see what happens. But if that doesn't happen that should help our running game, because that's an extra guy out of the box.
field gave hold knew middle runs safety steve tried
I gave Steve a little signal. I kind of knew I wanted to go that way. I tried to hold the safety in the middle of the field and (Smith) just runs right by him.
coaches cover create great guys motion run taken teams
The great thing our coaches do, we put him in different formations. We kind of motion him around, we try to create opportunities for him. A lot of teams have rolled to him and taken two guys to cover him. When you can take two guys out with one, you need to be able to run the football.
running fun block
He hasn't lost his vision. That's one thing. He's good. The guy is smooth and knows how to set up blocks. He's a veteran, too. It's fun to watch him run. Hopefully everything works out all right physically, but certainly he looks good so far.
along chance deeper dive fast fun gives goes moved overall pace putting year
We moved at that fast pace in camp. We got a lot of things done. It wasn't like that first year when you're putting in a new system, where it was like, 'This goes in today.' You will have some mess-ups along the way, but overall it gives you the chance to, I guess, dive deeper into the offense. And it's quicker. That's what makes it fun as a player.
behind career couple extremely game girl guys last learn light mean move played saying scar slept spend talked team throw time watch
When I talked to you guys after the game on Sunday, it was just one of those things where, if you've ever played a team sport, you're down, ... Certainly, I was extremely down. But things get put into perspective. When I get home, I have a little girl and get to spend time with her. It doesn't take away the pain, especially when you watch it on film. But that's the NFL. I don't mean to make light of it but I'll probably throw another one before my career is up. That's just part of it. It's going to happen. I've slept well the last couple of nights. You have to move on. I try to put things behind me. I'm not saying it's not a scar or anything, but you have to learn and move on.
good lines solid sunday team
We feel we're a solid team. But going out and doing it is another. We have a good team on paper, but if you can't play between those lines on Sunday it does you no good.
