early ended four last less parts purpose season wholesale year
We didn't make wholesale changes, ... There are less new parts than before. Everything we're doing, we're doing with a purpose. That's the way we ended last year with our last four games. I didn't feel like that early in the season last year.
decided hard last next sit year
Last year was a hard year on myself and all the coaches, and really the whole city. So I decided that if I didn't get a job, or the right job, that I would probably sit out a year and see if I could get back in the next year.
carry four free hitting hurricane last maybe tried won year
We tried that last year -- we won four in a row. I don't know if anything can carry over because of free agency, and maybe a hurricane hitting you.
care compared couple drafted evident football forget good himself last matured order people taking understanding year
I think he's really matured this year, compared to his first couple years. We drafted him when he was a junior. People forget that he was (21) years old. I think he's really matured the last couple years, but this year it's evident by his play and taking care of himself and understanding that, in order for him to be a good football player, he has to take care of himself on and off the field.
consistent last left missed picked year
He's been consistent all along. He's just picked it up where he left it last year and he hasn't missed a beat.
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.
bring closure direction follow move time year
For all of us, it was a time to follow a new direction, to bring closure to what was a disappointing year record-wise and move forward.
change guess learn life year
The one thing I did learn this year is that things change fast. You've got to be able to adapt. I guess that's the way life is. You just don't know what things are going to change.
agree full giving happen players
The players know how I feel, and I think they agree with me. If (quitting and not giving full effort) does happen with one or two players, we'll get them out of here.
answered phone wife
The phone rang, and my wife answered it. She said Scott was on the phone, and she kind of mumbled a (last) name. I said, 'Tell him I'm not home.
improve
There are a lot of things we can improve on,
against ball chance football hold played win
When you hold the ball for 36 minutes, you have the chance to win football games. We played like we wanted to play (against Buffalo). That's how we played against Carolina.
call chicken
The play at the end, the call by the officials, is flat-out chicken (. . .),
bad cut few last played traveling weeks
We've got to cut those things out. Let's not make excuses. Us traveling the last few weeks really don't have anything to do with our play on the field. We've played bad the last two weeks.
