character coach football fortunate gets great model role starts talks top
I think we're all in this thing together, and everything starts at the top with Coach Gibbs. He gets up and talks to us about how important character is, not only as a football player, but as a person. He's a great example, a great role model for all of us and we're real fortunate to have him.
difficult five row start winning
Winning five in a row is difficult to do. But that's over with. Now we start a new season.
establish football hurt momentum start tough
Tough way to start a football game. It's tough to establish any momentum or get anything going. I think that hurt us.
backed start tough
Being backed up and not being able to make a first down, that was a real tough way to start the game.
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.
changes continue criticism points reading scoring start turn until
That kind of criticism will continue until we turn things around here, ... I'm still not reading the papers. Nothing changes around here until we start scoring some points and winning.
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.
ball great guys runner telling week
You guys were telling me all week what a great runner I was, ... but you've got to tuck the ball away. If you don't, it will come out.
