balls brings couple element field kerry maybe obviously question threw thrown
There's no question that (missing) the big-play element that he brings was obviously a factor. I know that Kerry threw a couple of balls down the field that were overthrown. Had they been thrown to Randy, maybe they wouldn't have been overthrown.
against ball beat blitz bring chance key prepared pressure yards
You always have to be prepared because they bring pressure from anywhere. But the key is if you can make yards against them on first down, and then it's second-and-4, second-and-5. Then you got a chance to, at the worst, get it to third-and-2 or third-and-3 and a chance to get the ball out and beat the blitz with the ball.
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.
ball course determined developing earlier five football intention less mine minutes philip philosophy players six until win
Philip is on course and is a developing player. I think I've indicated to you before there can be opportunities, and we had one earlier this season, that it was my intention to get him in with five or six minutes to go but we never got the ball back until it was considerably less than that. Regular-season football is different than preseason football. It's been a philosophy of mine that you play your players until you have determined that the win is secured.
ball finish medals moved yards
We moved the ball effectively but you don't get any medals for yards gained. We've got to find a way to finish those drives.
ball ends factor field game history losing major opponent quite short single throughout turn winning
It was a game that ends up like most if you turn the ball over. You give the ball to the opponent on a short field and that is the one single thing that throughout the history of this game has always been the major factor in winning or losing games. We're quite disappointed.
ball plenty tried ways
We tried different ways to get him the ball. If you give him the ball enough times he's going to make plenty of yards.
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.
ball care clear difference games point position possesses winning
The point I've made very clear to him, and I made very clear to you: You will not play quarterback or any other position that possesses the ball for me. You have to take care of the ball because it's the difference between winning games in this league.
aspect city ended extremely kansas played short
We were out-played. Kansas City I thought played extremely well in every aspect and we ended up on the short end of it.
confident drew eric felt good honest parker realize situation
We had the long fourth-down situation and Eric Parker and Drew make it down to the 7-yard-line, and I'll be honest with you, I realize there's no certainty, but I felt very confident with where we were. I just felt good that at the 7-yard-line we'd find a way to get it in the end zone.
catching change practice tip
We are catching everything in practice so we are going to change our tip drill. We need to change it up because what we are doing is not working.
fell short team win
We fell short of our goal, clearly, and that was to win the championship. But I wouldn't say that it is a team that underachieved.
We feel very, very comfortable with our position.
