came fourth good job quarter quarters run
We've done a good job through the season, but that fourth quarter wasn't one of our better quarters when it came to run defense.
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.
college coming fits ran running similar style system zone
Coming out of college he was a zone running back. That was his style and we run a system very similar to the one he ran at Wisconsin. I think he fits our system a little better than the other system.

Coming out of college, he was a zone-running back. That was his style, and we run a system very similar to the one he ran at Wisconsin. I think he fits our system a little better than the (Giants) system.
athlete either eliminate felt field incredible left middle run
He's an incredible athlete and, this year, he's felt more comfortable in our system. It allows him to run left or right and make a play going to either side. If the middle of the field is open, he can do things there, too. Mostly, what he's done for us is to eliminate mistakes.
ready regular worries
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.

Both guys played extremely well. I was really happy with the young corners.

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.
