care focusing job penalties running
Penalties in the running game, pre-snap penalties, that irks me. Because to me, that's not focusing. You're not focusing on your job and you're undisciplined. You need to take care of your business.
guys handle
Our guys kind of like us-versus-the-world mentality, and we'll handle it,
adapt ask football guys resilient
Our guys are really resilient to things that go on. And they adapt to things very well, and there's not a lot of complaining, ... They just kind of do it, and they're on time, and they do everything right. That's all you can ask from a football team.
step took
I was disappointed in the way we tackled. All in all, I thought we took a step backward.
good job
I thought we did a good job all day,
execution precision
I thought the precision was fine, but the execution wasn't there,
field good meetings mind practice time
I think being on the field and in the meetings is a time that's away from all that. It's good for your mind to get on the field and practice and be where you're with your peers.
came fans flashes forgot good louisiana mix orleans people reception saw state super
I think it was a good mix (of fans). I saw a lot of New Orleans fans up there and people that came over from the state of Louisiana and Mississippi. I thought the reception was outstanding. I forgot about the kickoff when all the flashes went off. I thought we were at the Super Bowl.
defense ended guys hopefully last pick simplify tried
We put in new guys last year. We tried to simplify some things. Hopefully this defense can pick up where it ended last year.
everybody pads
We put everybody back in pads to get them acclimated,
execute panicked ran
We went with the quarterback sneak, we just ran it out of a different formation, and we didn't get it, ... We panicked and didn't execute well enough.
aaron circumstance gave opportunity race time year
We really never gave Jake an opportunity like this. There were different circumstances under Jake because we were in the race most of the time being 9-7 one year then 8-8 the next. The only time Jake got the opportunity was when Aaron got hurt.
change figured good guys job pace stopping
We figured we weren't doing a very good job stopping the run, so let's get some guys in there that can change the pace a little bit. We're going to look at everything.
field football gone happy hard playing proud seen
Well, it's disappointing. I must say this is not a 3-13 football team. They have gone through a lot. I'm proud of what they have accomplished off the field and what they accomplished playing hard and doing everything right. I'm not happy with our record, but if you'd have seen the circumstances, the things that they went through, you'd be proud of this team.
