balls clutch division great hit landed line performer says slant throw title wide
The throw he makes to Galloway with the division title on the line says a lot about what a clutch performer he is. That wasn't a slant or a wide flare, that was a 44-yard throw that landed right on the screws. He got hit a lot, and we had some balls batted down. He's got great resolve.
bit hits ready sure throw took
I think he's OK. He was able to throw the ball. I'm sure he's a bit sore. He took a lot of hits (Saturday). We think he'll be ready to go for this game.
ball chance flag hit hoping threw
I am red-hot now on challenges. That was a big play. . . We didn't get a chance to really look at it, but we kind of threw that flag hoping the ball hit the ground.
again ball flag hit hoping instant replay threw vote
We kind of threw that flag hoping the ball hit the ground. And fortunately for instant replay (it did). I'll vote for it again this year.
good great hit home running saw signs
I saw some good signs that we can be a good running team. Who knows? If we hit some home runs, we could be a great running team.
amount consistent deserves given good hit initially line looks offensive tremendous
He's creating, there's no question, but he's getting good looks, ... He hasn't been hit and stymied initially very often. We've been able to get him started, and getting him through the line of scrimmage is an outstanding thing for him because he's an exceptional runner. He deserves a tremendous amount of credit, but our offensive line has given him, I think, some consistent looks at the hole.
ask bigger excited loves thrives tim tried
We tried to get him and Tim involved, because the bigger the game, the bigger he plays. He was excited and thrives in this atmosphere. He loves the big games. The more you ask of him, the more he relishes.
ball beat expect intercept line month pay played week
We just played them a month ago. We beat them 10-3 and we had to intercept the ball on the 1-yard line to do it. If there's a letdown this week then we'll pay for it. I don't expect that to happen.
glimpse guys
We got our first glimpse of what these guys can do wire-to-wire.
expect
We expect Kenyatta to be here, and that's all I can say.
advantage depth evaluation last players sure
We're going to try to see if the front-line players are front-line players. We also want to look at the depth of our roster to make sure that we take advantage of the last evaluation for a lot of these guys. We're going to try to do it all in this game.
areas cleaned eliminate football help hopefully job move negative obviously plays schedule score team week win
The schedule doesn't get any easier, ... Our job is to do everything we can to help him. His job is obviously to make plays and move this football team and help us score and win games, and eliminate turnovers, negative plays, sacks. Those are areas that must be cleaned up in a hurry. And he'll be the quarterback this week again. Hopefully he can do that.
challenge line matter middle package seen
I've seen him play middle linebacker in this 32-nickel-rover package they have. He's all over the field. And no matter where he is, he's going to line up and challenge you.
attacks best great impressed personnel prolific scheme seen shut tape totally
I've seen some of the best get completely shut down on the tape I've studied. I've seen them play some prolific offenses, some great attacks and totally shut it down. I'm really impressed with this defense, the personnel they've assembled, the blitzing scheme that they present.
