came drive execute good line offensive page pressure sustain together
We weren't on the same page all the time. That's where some of their pressure came from. Overall, the offensive line didn't play well today. We need to execute and sustain for 60 minutes, not just put together a good drive at the end of the game.
coach lets pressure
In years past, there was more ... pressure to perform. Coach has been real laid-back. He lets us just go out there and make plays.

If there's been any change, it's been that we are now more aggressive. To me in years past, it wasn't always like that. There was more of an emphasis and pressure to perform. Now, Coach has been real laid back and lets us go out there and play and make plays.

ball clock control defense field line offensive plays ready run team together
The offensive line has to play well together for the whole team to function. We run the ball to control the clock and keep the defense off the field so that they're ready to make big plays when they come in.

It's a long season. We still have a long way to go. So we can't dwell on this one or it is going to set us back the rest of the season.
correct early game practice taking third
It's been a long time. But it's early in the season. It's only the third game. We just need to go back to practice and correct some things. We made a lot of mistakes. But we are taking it one game at a time.

It's a big difference from last year. Last year he was (about) speed and trying to hit the hole. Now he sees what's going on out there. And he's able to hit the hole and make a lot of people miss, too.
They're just relentless, non-stop, right in your face.
