ball balls certainly character couple early game great lose plays saw stepped threw turned
I just saw a lot of character in him today, because he had a couple plays early in the game where he turned the ball over, which was uncharacteristic of him. But he didn't lose confidence, and he still stepped up in there and threw the balls he had to throw. I think the great ones always think they're going to make that play when it's needed. I certainly think he does.
plays
Inventive? Oh, yes. You'll see some of the plays he comes up with. He did some things that were, let's say, not normal.
considered focused game honored wait winning
I'm honored to be considered for that job, but I've been so focused on getting to this game and winning this game that that's been on the back burner. If something comes up, we'll just have to wait and see.
exciting hard knew physically players quite success
Once I got into it, I knew that's what I wanted to do. It's very exciting to see success for your players as a coach. But I don't think there is anything quite like being a player, physically working so hard and having success on the field.
anybody ball hit move stride throws year
He throws the ball on the move as well as anybody I've ever seen. That's two touchdowns he's had this year on the same kind of throw. And he hit Hines in stride ? it's incredible.
games starter third won
He's won a lot of games here as a starter for us. Certainly, we'd like to play better. It's disappointing we didn't play better than that in our game. Thankfully, it's only the third game and we have lot more games to go.
brought enjoyment enjoys family good guy guys handled hanging interested playing small
I don't think he's a guy who enjoys it that much. But he's handled the whole thing well. A lot of that has to do with how he was brought up. Small town. Good family values. He's more interested in hanging with the guys and playing football.
sure
He's in so many different places. You have to make sure you're protected, scheme-wise.
behind catch catching coverage lay lucky man run zone
I could lay it out for you, play by play, ... but a lot of it was just getting lucky and catching them in the right thing. They run a zone blitz, you can catch them inside, they blitz, with man coverage behind it, you can catch them with the toss.
confidence diligent exciting games guy level prepared route won
The guy won 13 or 14 games for us, so obviously, your confidence level in him is much higher. He's been so diligent in how he's prepared and how he's studied. If there's a route we want to put in, he now understands the concept, and it can be successful. That's the exciting part.
couple ideal pass past run scenario seems
The ideal scenario is what we have been doing for the past couple of weeks. For us, we have been so little pass that it seems like when we go 50-50 run and pass, it makes it look like we are really airing it out.
ability create gets
You can't take away his ability to create when he gets out of the pocket,
ball certainly factors finger giving involved point throw time
You can't point the finger at that. There were a lot of factors involved with that game. We certainly weren't giving him a lot of time to throw the ball at times.
aspect came good surprising
He came here with a good idea of how to block. It's actually been surprising how well he's done with that aspect of the game.
