couple early good knew matter
We knew they were a good defense. I knew they were going to make some plays. It was just a matter of us making some back. We made a couple early but then made too many mistakes.
change fact guys losing tougher
We're losing guys, but it doesn't change the fact we've still got to get better. It's going to be tougher with new guys in there, but we've got to do it.
advantage catch couple fast job maybe
They're very fast. They're very fast and very aggressive, so they're going to make some plays. But it's going to be our job to try and take advantage of that aggressiveness and maybe catch them a couple of times.
heads helpful incredible people terrible
A lot of people wanted to make it out as a butting heads of a battle, and it's been nothing of the sort. He's been incredible and more helpful than I would have thought. I feel terrible for him.
played
They played it well. That's the play we had on.
came defense game great plan pound pounding until
They're a great defense for a reason. Our whole mind-set, our whole game plan was to pound it at them and keep pounding until they broke. We came up short.

As much potential as we have in our receiving corps, ... we still have a lot of growing to do.
coming consensus fresh months smoking somewhere stay wants
A big part of me wants to stay and right what we started, but there's another part that wants to go somewhere else and get a fresh start. Two months ago, the consensus was I should have been on the first thing smoking coming out of town.
biggest
That's what makes it one of the biggest openers we've had.
game watch
You've only got one game to watch on Monday,
available far game opposed shots taking targets three
As far as taking shots when they are available ? if they are available in the first preseason game, if they're available on the first play of the game ? we're going to take them. It's an opportunistic thing as opposed to a focus. We have three healthy, big targets right now, and that helps.
believe force somebody strong team though
This is still a young team and an impressionable team, so it has to be someone who is very strong in what they believe it. It has to be somebody who may force you do something, even though you may not like it.
chance coming gave guy half hand step
I was a half step late. He was coming back to the post. It gave their guy a chance to get his hand in there.
anybody becomes beginning best bounce confidence few game perfect played ready season start statement talked team time took week worried
I think this becomes a confidence game more than anything, ... I'm not worried about making a statement to anybody but ourselves. This team is ready to get some confidence, and I think that's the best way to put it. I talked at the beginning of the season about getting a few breaks, making a few plays, getting on a roll, and this is a perfect week to start that, especially after we played Chicago, where we took one in the jaw. It's time to bounce back.
