against feeling games good halfway hard overall played pleased position team tough won
We're not in any position to make any proclamations because we're only halfway through. All we can say is we're pleased with where we're at, 5-3. It could be better; it could be worse. You are what you are and we're a 5-3 team halfway through. Probably the overall feeling is that we feel pretty good about ourselves. We've been in tough games and won them. We've played against good defenses and offenses, and for the most part we've done very well. But it's hard to say at this point.
guys played
We've played only one game, but for the most part guys are more comfortable with what we're doing.
best fly following game hurt played week
It's not going to fly with me. The week following the injury, we played Dallas, and I had my best game when the hamstring hurt the most.
biggest defense difference football played running smarter
We're being smarter with the football now. Our defense has played well all year, but the biggest difference is we're running the ball. That makes everything much easier.
bring football good played team
We played a good football team on the road, in the playoffs, and you've got to bring your A game. You've got to be at your best. If you don't, then you're going to lose.
confidence gives last perhaps played points score team time
They're a better team than the last time we played them. Having been able to score those points (35) last time perhaps gives us some confidence going into their place.
best defense difficult football game played playoff win won
This is great. We've played our best football in December, and to get a playoff win on the road, as you know, is very difficult to do. Our defense was incredible. You can't say enough about them. They won the game for us.
ball convert downs hands needed third
We just needed to keep the ball in our hands and convert those third downs and get some points. But we just didn't do it.
difficult great group guys hope work
It would be my hope that we could keep this group intact, which is difficult to do these days. I think we have guys with great character, work ethic, attitude; all the things that you'd want.
correct crazy
It was a little crazy out there tonight. We need to be more sharp. It was a little sloppy, but we will correct it.
ball bearing safety tried
The safety was bearing down on him. So I tried to get the ball up so he could make a play, and he did.
belt stayed year
There's some things that have changed. There's some things that have stayed the same. But I think we're a better offense. We have a year under our belt with this system.
biggest far guy playing run throw
Santana made some big plays. The biggest thing as a quarterback, when you are playing with a guy with that much speed, is you can't underthrow him. You have to throw it out there about as far as you can because he is going to run and get it.
against backs fourth games hopefully previous pull road three tough
Psychologically, at least for our confidence, that was huge. We got in that fourth quarter, and the previous three games we weren't able to pull it out. Our backs are still against the wall. It's going to be a tough road ahead. Hopefully this does something for us.
