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.
anderson game mike playing pleased serious
You know what Mike Anderson is. It doesn't take a regular-season game to tell you that Mike has been playing pretty good. . . . I'm pleased with the way he's come back and rebounded after a serious injury. I like the way he handles himself.
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.
achieve best defense football game hope national plan players playing rush trying
We are playing the best rush defense in the National Football League, so I hope we have that problem. You always want your players to achieve goals, but I don't think that is a game plan going in. We are just trying to play it as it comes on.
past playing road three weeks
Playing the way they have on the road the past three weeks is really an accomplishment. They play big on the road.
case extremely goal goes playing plays ready regardless somebody
He always plays extremely hard. It's very important to him regardless of his role, even if he's not playing every down and just at the goal line. He has to be ready in case somebody goes down. If that happens, he'll play well.
ready regular worries
We just want him to get better and ready for the regular season. I have no worries he'll be ready.
chance football minutes signed
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.

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.
both extremely guys happy played
Both guys played extremely well. I was really happy with the young corners.
bowl division gives goal home playoff statistics super wild win won
So, obviously, first comes the AFC West. The goal is to win playoff games, but the division is first, ... You can do it other ways, and we have won a Super Bowl as a wild card, but the statistics show there is no question, being at home gives you an advantage.
diego few kansas point production san third
You look at Kansas City, they were No. 2 in point production and San Diego was third in point production in the NFL. So we're going to see it a few times this year.
against ball defense defensive football good lose momentum move past pick stop sudden teams yards
Yeah, it is frustrating. But there is some good with it. When you move the ball 80 yards on your first drive, and all of a sudden you're on the 1-yard line, and all of a sudden you lose your momentum like we did. When you go against a good defense and you're in long-yardage situations, you're going to be in for a long day, so you can't stop yourself. We're going to play a lot of good defensive football teams this year, so we'd better pick it up. If we don't, then we're going to be inconsistent like we have been the past two weeks.
drafted guy high himself love rookie speaks sure type volumes
We'd sure take him. He's the type of guy you love because he handles himself with so much class. When you have a guy who does that as a rookie being drafted as high as he was, it speaks volumes for the future.
