difficult five house problem time winning
You have a difficult time winning when you have five turnovers. It's a problem when they take two to the house on you.
ball last red ruled score three time turned turning zone
Particularly turning the ball over where we turned it over, three times in the red zone in the first half. Particularly to turn the ball over and have it ruled as a touchback. I think it was 1970 the last time we were going in to score and fumbled into and out of the end zone for a touchback.
balance eight indicator last lean offense practicing run spend spread time week
I don't think what we did last week is an indicator of what we're going to do for the balance of the season. We will lean a little more heavily on the run than we did when I got here eight years ago. We're still a one-back, spread offense and we spend a lot of time practicing the pass.
excited guy hire third time tried
He's a guy I have tried to hire on two other occasions, so the third time was a charm. I'm excited to have him on our staff.
job looked missed nice plays time
He did a nice job for the first time out. He missed some reads, but he made some plays that looked good.
coming felt game sit time
We felt like coming into the game that if he has a lot of time to sit back there, he can be pretty accurate. If he doesn't have a lot of time, he can be not so accurate.
convinced effective equally game option passing spread time
We have utilized the quarterback as a runner, but not as an option guy. We haven't been convinced we can put all the time into the option and the spread passing game and be equally effective at both. We feel we can do that now.
mesh players rest staff starting takes time understand
As a coach, it takes time to mesh with the rest of the staff and the players. It will take some time, but the players are starting to understand what he expects.
individual label reins team though time truly worry
It's going to be the first time out for our quarterback that he's truly got the reins in his hands. It's never as though he had that label on him. You always worry about how an individual is going to respond, and how a team is going to respond.
attached familiar mystery outside seems system
When you look at a system that's outside of something that you're most familiar with, there seems to be some mystery attached to it, ... when in fact, it really is pretty simple.
knew needed nice obviously results review system true
We knew the system needed some review and obviously they did that. It's nice to see. The true results are there.

We think the game is a chess game you're playing all the time,
based best boot clearly guys haunt haunted knowing kyle maybe picked running sleep
To this day, I'd still have Kyle Orton running that boot on the corner, by himself, clearly having picked up the first down. It doesn't haunt me. I sleep well at night, knowing we did the best thing we could do under the circumstances. Based on what some of the other guys (on the team) say, maybe that haunted them.
defense guys helping huge several successful
Those two guys were a huge part of the successful defense we had here for several years. And now they are helping out up there too, which is nice.
