both extremely guys happy played
Both guys played extremely well. I was really happy with the young corners.
cast feels good high hoping played playing supporting system third year
I think most quarterbacks in their third year have a good feel for the terminology, a good feel for the supporting cast and you are hoping that in the third year, your quarterback is playing at a very high level. He feels a lot more comfortable with our system and a lot more comfortable with the supporting cast and he has played well.
defense eleven expect four good great guys hard job level played playing quarters thumb
When you do that, it makes it hard for your defense to play four quarters at the level that we expect them to play. We did not do a very good job on offense. I can not put my thumb on it, because there was some great effort, guys played hard, but you have to have eleven guys out there playing together. One guy here (and) one guy there just doesn't get it done.
handled himself liked played senior throughout upside
We liked the way he handled himself at the Senior Bowl, and the way he played throughout the season. There's a big upside with his speed.
against coaching defense fortunate level nice number played respect special team utmost win
It's always nice to win against a team that you know you're going against the best, from a coaching standpoint, offense, defense and special teams. I have the utmost respect for what they've done, and we really feel fortunate to come away with a win against a team that has played at that level consistently for a number of years.

They controlled the tempo of the game. They just played better and coached better than we did.
good job played running since until
Tatum's done a pretty good job since he's been here. It's like all running backs. Until a guy's played consistently through a season, you really don't know.
advantage coached controlled game good job played stopping tempo
The way they controlled the tempo of the game ... once you did have the ball, you had to try to take advantage of it. They did a good job stopping us defensively in the first half. They just played better and coached better than we did.
bunch defensive extremely played pressure talented
Jake played extremely well. He made a bunch of big plays. They had a lot of pressure on him and they had a very talented defensive front.

Pittsburgh deserved to win; they played better than we did. To do what they've done three weeks in a row against three excellent football teams is really an accomplishment.

We just want him to get better and ready for the regular season. I have no worries he'll be ready.

We just got him signed here about 15 or 20 minutes (earlier), ... He didn't get a chance to practice, but he'll be on our football team.
caught clean giving slate
First of all, I think you don't get too caught up in that. I know the situation, what's happened. His slate is clean and we're giving him an opportunity.
