bigger certainly easier field giving guys happened middle people playing position run target zones
What has happened at that position is you have bigger guys who can run a little bit, and certainly when you have a bigger target it makes it a lot easier to find them. People are playing zones and giving you the middle of the field in certain situations.
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.
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.
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.
early field football gear lose nice sudden
Early in the week, you kind of lose your sense of perception. It was nice (Wednesday) to get back on the football field and gear back into what's important. In season, you get into such a routine. All of a sudden that changes.
couple coverage game situations throw whatever worked
We've had a couple situations in a game where we wanted to get him the ball. But, for whatever reason, the coverage hasn't worked out right and we've had to throw the check-down or we got blitzed on the play.
