almost basically blocked boils couple defense early except field game goal good low nervous nobody offensive opportunity played plays poor snap stepped
At halftime, I was real nervous because I thought we played well early on the offensive side, ... Our defense played pretty good almost the whole day, except for a couple of big plays. But, we couldn't put anything away. Then, we had the blocked field goal again; it was a poor snap and a low kick. We are not making plays when we have to. And that is basically what the whole game boils down to. We had the opportunity to make plays and nobody stepped up and made them.
ball basically defense field goals group hold instead turn
On defense, I thought the first group did well. If we do turn the ball over, I would like to see them hold them to field goals instead of touchdowns. But basically the defense did all right.
defense defensive ends hurting interior job letting people runners win
defense is a mind-set. You can't just do your job one time. We've got to win more one-on-ones. The defensive ends are the ones who are hurting us the most. They're letting runners get to the sidelines. The interior people are doing pretty well.
defense elevate everybody guys hurt
In this business, guys get hurt and I think everybody else has to elevate their game. The defense has to play better, the quarterbacks are going to have to play better, the linemen are going to have to play better.
