came coaches gives great job stuff team
This team came right at us from the start. Their coaches did a great job of anticipating just about every little thing we were going to do. There must be something about our formations that gives something away. We've got to take a look at our formations and inject some new stuff maybe.
last people pick played reason team year
For some reason people think they can pick on him because he's on the shorter side, but he played on that team last year and he's pretty crafty. So often times, they're pretty disappointed with that strategy.
bigger capable couple cut decided defensive double drive fill full line move pick point talking team worried
Glidden really showed us that. They made a point to cut him or double team him to keep him from making a play. We decided to move him back and we have some capable linemen to move in there to fill those spots. We weren't worried about the defensive line so much. We just got a bigger linebacker in there and he had a couple of nice, full tackles. We're talking the wrap, pick 'em up and drive them into the ground.
expecting good guys team
We thought we were going to have a good team for years to come. We didn't have a lot of old guys then. But we weren't expecting the injuries.
bounce game heart team upset
I'm upset because I'm a competitor. I let my team down. I let myself down. But that's the way this game is. I know in my heart I'll bounce back.
bruised fourth game knee played players quarter smaller team tough
It was a tough game for Megan. She actually went down in the fourth quarter and bruised her knee cap. We had some smaller players bumping her when she was in the air. They were a team that played pretty hard.
defense great special team
They're going to be missed. They were a great part of the team on defense and special teams.
avoid battle bit caliber capable driven expecting experience hanging happened home last people talking team trying work year
As much as we've been trying to avoid talking about last year, there's still been a little bit of that hanging on. This was an eye-opening experience for all of them. We're not the same caliber of team that we were last year. This team's capable of that, but we've got to work for it. We're going to have to go toe-to-toe with people and battle it out. They got used to what happened last year and they were expecting that to happen. This team has got to make things happen. I think that's something that was driven home tonight.
came decided determined girls hang happen pushed road team tired took
The girls had been down this road before - let a team hang around and then get nipped at the end - and they came out determined not to let it happen again. We kind of cranked it up and took it at them. We were a little tired of being pushed around and we decided to push back.
camp deserved training
I don't think I deserved it. We'd been through training camp and that was only the first game. We all need some improvement.
improve wonder
You look at it and then you wonder if you're just being a scapegoat. But then you just go back and re-evaluate yourself. You don't look at it like that. You just try to improve on things you did wrong.
deserves tonight
Tonight we just got beat. Neville deserves credit. They got after us and we made too many mistakes.
holding
McNabb was having his game, but we were holding him pretty good. And we just let it get away from us. That's just part of being a young team.
arm catch controlled exception game good knew last passing pleased run running sudden
I was pleased with our defense. I knew they had some big-play capability. They'll run at you and run at you and all the sudden they catch you asleep. We pretty much controlled their running game and their quarterback has a good arm and he's tough, but if you take him out of the equation, they're not so explosive. With the exception of those last two drives, I don't think they had too many passing yards.
