ball basic drop fairly handle plan priority stupid system throw
He doesn't do stupid things with the ball. Mike's system is pretty sound. They'll throw the ball fairly quick. They don't drop back with a lot of looks. He'll have a plan that will be very basic and his priority will be the quarterback. I think he'll handle the 3-4 pretty well. I really do.
changed kicked last season towards
We changed up his fundamentals last season and it really kicked in towards the end of the season,
change drawn piece routes run stick walk
When we walk out of the meeting, and it's all drawn up on the piece of paper, you don't run routes as a stick man. You run routes with a feel. You know when to sit. You know when to slide. You know when to change directions. That stuff.
carry forward kerry step
There have been a lot of questions: 'Can Kerry step forward and carry this team?'
believe everybody guy handled high last mental reason toughness wrote year
I have high expectations for Kyle. One reason I believe in him a lot is last year when everybody was down on him and wrote him off he handled it so well. When he really started to do some things, not once did he say, 'I told you so.' He was the same guy and that showed me he has the mental capabilities and toughness to do it.
hole
I couldn't, ... It was the hole in our lives.
anybody chips middle poker raising stakes team wants
I am raising the stakes right now, ... If this is a poker game, I am shoving my chips right in the middle of the table. I am raising the ante. Anybody who wants out, can get out. This team is going to the playoffs. OK? This team is going to the playoffs.
protection routes supposed
I thought Jesse did all right, considering some things. We had some routes that weren't where they were supposed to be and protection problems.
capable desires guys higher people stop unless
I think we have higher expectations and desires than a lot of people think, or that we're capable of. Our guys weren't going to stop unless they were going to win.
fights-and-fighting guys kept lost win
We never lost that will to win -- the guys just kept on fighting.
came chance gotten group guys hope looked lucky special teams win
I feel very lucky to have gotten them all. Replacing special teams isn't like replacing a lineman, where you hope the group comes together. On their own, those guys are all difference-makers. And you know what? I think they came here because each one looked at us and thought, Hey, those guys have a chance to win it all.
elite evolving far goes guys handled himself kerry limit top tremendous
Kerry is evolving into an elite quarterback in this league. One of the top guys who is going to play this game. And as he goes on, there's no limit to him right now. He's come so far and handled himself so well. There's no limit. He's got tremendous talent.
bridge difficult figuring gap guys hard hold normal numbers players society team whatever within
I would say that whatever our numbers are, they're probably pretty much league-wide and probably pretty much society-wide. I don't think our team is any different from any other team or society as a whole. I don't think those numbers are out of whack. The hard thing is we hold these players to different standards. That's going to be the difficult part, figuring out how we are going to bridge that gap if these guys can't be within these normal societal numbers.
looks wants worked
He has worked hard. He wants to be good. His fundamentals are so much better. He is smooth, he is crisp, and he just looks comfortable out there now.
