ability certainly check chris good open player smart time win
Chris is always in the right place at the right time, ... He's a good check down if things aren't open down the field. He's just a smart player that has the ability to be in the right place. I certainly look for him, and most of the time it's going to be a linebacker on him, and for the most part he's going to win those.
bounce good great nobody rally rock smarter works
Rock is just a great guy, ... Nobody works harder, nobody has a better attitude. These things just happen. I'm not going to be the only one to say these things happen. It's unfortunate. We'll bounce back and we'll rally around each other. It's very frustrating. We're doing some good things. If we do our own part and we're smarter with the ball, we'll be okay.
defense football great red score smart turn
When you've got a great defense like we do, you don't have to be flashy, you don't always have to score touchdowns in the red zone, ... You'd like to, but you just have to play smart with the football and don't turn it over. And if you do that, you've got a great advantage.
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.
ball biggest cutting defense difference good running smarter
We're cutting down on our mistakes. We're being smarter with the football. We're running the ball much better. Our defense has been good all year, but offensively, the biggest difference is that we're running the ball. That makes everything a lot easier.
basics football playing running smart solid start turning year
The basics start with playing smart football, not turning it over and also running the football and playing solid defense. That's how you win. We've been doing those things. The first part of the year we weren't.
advantage ball giving hurt mistakes offense playoff realize situation smart team three
The offense that makes the most mistakes, that's the team that's going to lose. They had three turnovers, we only had one and it didn't hurt us. In a playoff situation like that, you realize that that is the most important (factor) - being smart with the ball and not giving it to them, because if you do, they're going to take advantage of it.
allow came
We wouldn't allow anything that came before the team.
bunch focused giggles guys listen puts time
We're not just a bunch of giggles out there. We work, but there is a time for a little levity, and I think it puts guys at ease. Some guys are so focused they don't listen to you anyway.
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.
difficult expect football good great group guys hope last next since stepping stone
We've come a long way since last year. Hopefully, this will be a stepping stone for this football team. I think we've got great talent, I think we've got guys with great character, all the things you want. I hope we can keep this group intact. It's difficult to do nowadays. But if we can, I expect some good things next year.
ball game last passing ran
We were one-dimensional last year. We ran the ball very well, I thought, but our passing game was lacking. When you can have that balance, you're more efficient.
ball turn win
Turnovers killed us. You're just not going to win if you turn the ball over.
far run throw
You have to throw it out there about as far as you can because he is going to run and get it.
