good guys jason miami played rotation taylor took
Our guys at end don't get the big hits. Jason Taylor in Miami played 99% and was (expletive) off if we took him out. We'd still like to have a good rotation going even with those guys.
far guys hurt miss practice rough week
It's been a rough week for practice as far as (who is) in and out. We've had guys miss all week. That's hurt on preparation.
biggest came darn deserved football fought given good guys offense played players today together wish
It's disappointing. The guys fought their tails off today and deserved better, ... I mean, our players came together and played a darn good football game. I wish we could have given our offense the ball back at the end, that was an important part of the game. That's the biggest disappointment.
biggest coming couple deserved fought good guys last matched offense team
It's disappointing. Guys fought their tails off and deserved better. That's a good offense coming in here, a 2-0 team that had a lot of success, and we matched them. The biggest disappointment was the last couple of series.
far guys happen
A lot of things have to happen as far as the injuries. We have to get those guys back.

We just have to sort through that and keep improving. They've shown on the practice field they can do it, but have to carry it to the field. We have to sort this out and get both guys playing at high level.

He's really had a nice camp. I can't say I'm that surprised because obviously we liked the guy a lot to take him as high as we did.

We're going to evaluate every position. We're going to evaluate, see what happened. We'll evaluate as we do after every week.

When you start penetrating and they get up on the second level of the defense, the holes just open like sieves and your defense can be in trouble,
definitely field last performs playing roy starters time
We're still going with the starters we had last week. But Manning is making a move. He definitely will get a lot of playing time because we need to see Roy out there on the field and see how he performs under the lights.
against fourth front group miss quarter run tremendous
Other than the fourth quarter against Tampa, the group up front has done a tremendous job. If we don't miss those two tackles, we don't have a big run by a back.
believe determine next players
Players don't determine who's the next coach. It's always a positive, I think, that the players believe in me.
five game gotten scheme
I think there's a lot of things that get into it. He's been in the scheme for five weeks. He's gotten a lot more reps through the game experience.
