best good line next pass rush solid teams time weird work
It was weird because usually with teams that have had a pass rush we've always been pretty solid in our protection, ... Our line does a good job. It's unfortunate, but we didn't play our best game. We have some things we can work on. We'll work on those things and we'll be better next time we play.
almost ball crazy knees since taking thinking time
(Our) thinking was since they (Colts) had all of their time outs, taking knees would give the ball back to them. Besides, how often does Jerome fumble the ball? Almost never. It was just a crazy thing.
coming felt good positive shot time
I felt good about something positive coming out of the play. It was a good time to take a shot at it.
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.
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.
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.
