coverage fun playing randy single
Randy had single coverage on the outside, and we know we aren't going to see that often with Randy. It's going to be a lot of fun playing with him.
ball defense keys played run winning
Our defense played great, and we were able to run the ball well. Those are the two keys to winning a game.
england hype open playing season tough
That was a tough way to open up the season ... all the hype and everything and playing in New England, which is about as tough a place as you can play,
came clear guy happens league obviously played rich situation starter understood
Obviously I've played a lot in this league and started a lot of games. But when I came here they made it clear what the situation would be. I understood that Rich would be the starter and I will be the guy that's there if something happens to Rich. That will be my approach.
penalties players point responsibility seems variety
It's been a variety of things. Certainly, I take as much responsibility as anybody. It seems like it's been different things at different times, where the players get penalties or non-execution. Like I said, I'm not going to point fingers. I know that I didn't live up to the expectations I had for myself this season.
good guys leadership league played seems takes veteran
It seems like they have more leadership over there. They have some veteran guys who have played in this league and know what it takes to be on a good defense.
alter game good guys hard plan played stepped
We did have to alter our game plan a little bit, but not a whole lot. I think guys stepped up and played hard and did a good job.
behind defense eight front line mixed played seemed third type
They mixed up their front line a lot. We got behind the eight ball, especially in the third quarter. It seemed like we played into their hands, but that's the type of defense they play, and they played it tonight.
confidence definitely fact help last played playing year
I think the fact we went up there and played well last year definitely should help our confidence going into the game. We know what they're playing for.
bat enjoy given gone guy happen happens hope playing respect support utmost wants
He's got my utmost support. He's done a lot for me. He's gone to bat for me a lot of times. He's a guy that I respect and he's a guy that I enjoy playing for. I hope everything he wants to happen happens and I hope he's here and he's given another shot, because he can do it.
behind couple few looking missed played tried worked
Looking back on it, there have been some missed opportunities. I know I've missed a couple of things. Defenses have played us soft; we've tried to get behind them, and it hasn't worked out a few times.
execution hard plays rhythm
It was hard to find a rhythm today. It comes down to execution and making plays and we didn't.
against deal finish giants playing positive tonight tried
I don't think my mind-set was any different tonight than for any other game. I really tried to finish this on a positive note. Obviously, playing against the Giants was a pretty big deal for me.
change good hopefully plays rolls steps week whoever
If he's not in, the thing rolls on. But hopefully we'll have him. With Randy, we have our plays every week where we try to get him the ball. I don't know if it will change too much. I think whoever steps in for him will do a good job.
