ball commit football games mistakes smart supposed turn win worst
We're our own worst enemy, ... I don't like the way we're playing. We turn the ball over and commit penalties. We're making too many mistakes and need to play smart to win football games we're supposed to win. That's why we're here. To win.
ball far formula turning year
So far this year at least, we have been turning the ball over and we have not been getting turnovers. That formula will kill you.
balls deep good hit key knows partly plays referring turned
Patrick is going to see that he made some real good things. He hit some deep balls and made some key plays for us, and that's partly what I'm referring to. And then he turned the ball over. We can't do that and Patrick knows that.
ballgame certainly hard realized riding starts talked
I think we all realized what was at stake. We had talked about it all week, the big ballgame for us and for them there was a lot at stake. There was a lot riding on it and we didn't play well. I think we take a long hard look at ourselves, and it certainly starts with me.
ball last pass role successful week
His role hasn't changed. He's an important part of what we do. The last week or two we haven't been very successful on offense. He's a big part of what we do, and he's in every pass play, and we'd like to get him the ball as much as we can.
air ball confidence fantastic few great hands last people second though threat until
He has fantastic long-ball, and ball reactions, ... Very few people can snatch a ball right out of the air like that quick. And then the other thing, he's got a great burst, and when you get him going downfield and put in the ball reaction, he can be running, I think, and doesn't even put his hands up until the last second because he has such confidence there in where the ball is. Even though he's a shorter receiver, I think he's very much a downfield threat because of that, and then, of course, he's got great speed.
ball cover definitely fix good great improve miss penalties played ragged riding sure tendency turned win
You make sure you cover all the things we did poorly. Sometimes in a win like that, you have a tendency to say we played great, but you miss a lot of things that we did poorly. Penalties were definitely a problem. We turned the ball over. ... We've been riding a ragged edge. That's not good football. We've got to fix it. We've got to look at it as a great win, but there's things we need to improve upon.
ball hold onto pass worry
I'll worry about the pass routes, young man. You try and hold onto the ball a little more frequently.
ball decision disagree felt games guy people situation understand win work
I know a lot of people would disagree with this, and I understand that. For me, personally, I felt like it was a decision that I had to make. I think we've got a situation where two quarterbacks can win ball games for us. ... I know this is something that Patrick doesn't agree with - he's a very competitive guy - but it's something we're going to have to work through.
balls bind either explain five football four hands ratio side week whatever win
Every week we've had four or five opportunities to get balls in our hands and we have not been able to, for whatever reason, to either get the fumble or get the interception, ... I don't know how to explain it. But it's put us in a real bind because you're not going to play on that side of the giveaway and takeaway ratio and win many football games.
ball bit center danny felt looked picked won
The center picked the ball up a little bit and we felt like we got it off right when he picked it up, ... We probably looked at it 30 times in there with Danny and I'd say we kind of got right off on it. That could have won it for us.
ball exactly good haunted last league lesson looking maybe next score season side terms tough turn turned yards
If you make a lot of yards and you turn the ball over, then you don't score points, ... So that's a tough lesson to learn. Maybe I'm looking at the good side of it Maybe it's good we get the lesson now. Last year, we started out the season and that's exactly what haunted us -- we turned the ball over and right now we're next to last in the league in terms of giveaways and takeaways.
ball best draw game move ourselves win
If you were to draw it up, I would say the best way to win the game is to move the ball ourselves and keep them off the field.
areas ball corrected fix focus games improvement regular turning until win
It's a real concern, ... It's a problem. We've got to get it corrected because you won't win games up here turning the ball over and I'd still say those are two areas where we have not showed the kind of improvement I'd like -- turning the ball over and penalties. So it's something for a real focus from now until game time. In the regular season, we've got to try to find something to fix it.
