biggest coming game goal handled last line pass positive smart starter threw
The biggest positive was his game management, how he handled the huddle, how he did things in the game, ... Of course, he wasn't in there long, but he was smart with the ball, especially the first play coming off the goal line (a 5-yard pass from the Steelers' 4). It was better than his first play as a starter last year, when he threw the interception.
fake knew last might mike past played run second time
We knew that on the second play -- because of the way they played it last time -- we'd have a chance. We'd fake the (run). We thought (safety Mike Doss) might run past the guy, and that's what happened.
came finished handled last stepped
I don't think it was as much Ben, ... Certainly, he finished strong, he got us down there and we scored on that last drive. That's one encouraging thing that came out of it -- when we had to have it, he stepped up and did it. He handled it very well.
bit four good gotten identity last operating rhythm
We've kind of gotten into a little bit of a rhythm the last four weeks, more us. That identity was one that was very good for us last year, and we've been operating pretty good with that the last month.
instead run says score waiting wish
Everyone says he's fast. I wish he'd score instead of getting run out of bounds. I'm waiting to see that 'fast' from Willie. But he does give you that element.
cincinnati coaching enjoy game miss replaced until
Nothing replaced the competitiveness, what you feel after a game like the Cincinnati game. I started to miss that on Saturdays and Sundays. After so many years of playing, you had that void. I didn't know I was going to enjoy coaching until I got into it.
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.
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.
davis felt good meeting mike point
It was not at the point where that was going to happen. But after meeting with Mr. Davis and Mike Lombardi, I felt good about where we stood.
It went right out my mouth, and it's still up in the booth.
almost exactly felt funny good hold practice protection ran worked
We had the protection and we felt good that the protection was going to hold up. It was funny because we ran it in practice the other day and it worked almost exactly like that.
felt good line
We felt good about the line going into the season. Then we had some problems.
almost earlier field good spot targeted twice
We almost called that play once or twice earlier in the game. But the spot we were at on the field was what we had targeted would be a good spot for us to do it.
game good history judge moved plays shows
To me, his history has been that he shows up on game day and he plays very well. That's all I can judge it by. He made some good throws, he made some plays and moved in the pocket.
