stay
Like a lot of their linebackers, you can get on them, but they won't stay blocked.
confidence felt
I have a lot of confidence in Nate, and I felt it was important to get it to a seven-point differential.
ball beat blocked loss obviously returned
Obviously a very disappointing loss for us. It's really unfortunate for us having the ball blocked and returned for a touchdown. My hat's off to the Eagles, they were able to make a play and beat us.
against critical field giving goal kicked lead talked three week yards
The critical thing in my view, when you look at the whole thing is, we kicked the field goal to take the lead and they go 62 yards for a touchdown in three plays. We talked all week about giving up big plays. You can't do it against any team, particularly against Pittsburgh.
challenge
It's going to be a real challenge for us.
best fortunate qualities seem since
It's been one of the best things this organization has done since I've been here. They seem to find a way to get some of these youngsters that have some qualities that we think are important, work-ethic, toughness, intelligence. We've been very fortunate in that regard.
ball good however outside ways
They are pretty good outside defensively. We need to find ways to get him the ball however we can, and that was just one of the ways.
certain presence
There's a certain presence about L.T. on and off the field.
coaching consistent discipline exactly issues job needs people physical putting quite understanding
It's not physical issues, it's discipline issues in our coverage, and it's not where it needs to be, quite frankly. We're not getting people where they need to be on a consistent basis. My sense is that we've got to do a better job of coaching them, and they've got do a better job of understanding exactly what it is we're putting forward.
bunch controlled great job tempo
It's not like they've been in a bunch of barnburners. They're an outstanding team. They've pretty much controlled the tempo of the game, and they do such a great job on defense.
finish football good segment understand
It's no one segment of our football team. We're a good football team. But we still haven't been able to understand how to finish the deal.
exactly good opportunity team
It's always good to have an opportunity to play a real good team and see exactly how good you are.
coach early edge image needed reasons successful task
That's one of the reasons why he's a successful coach. You know that image he creates, with the jutting jaw? That's how he approached every task he's ever had. He started early on to find an edge because he needed it.
bring bunch five four packages throw
That's a big part of what they are. They have a bunch of different packages they throw at you. They may bring four or five different people.
