contribute fourth guy knows pick third throw tough
When you have your second, third or fourth back that knows the system, you can throw him in there every day. That is why it's tough to pick a guy up during the season, because you actually want that guy to contribute to the team.
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.
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.
feels process third
I can't say it's any one thing. He's in his third year. He feels comfortable with the system. I think it's a process and hopefully, he can keep it up.
arizona charlie consistent game ready receiver starting third throughout training wide
He's been more consistent throughout training camp. I told Charlie before the Arizona game that he was going to be our starting third wide receiver and to get ready to play.
anytime choice cut entire evaluation mistake obviously somebody team third true
Anytime you cut somebody in the third round, obviously you feel like you made a mistake ... in a true evaluation of your entire organization, anytime you use a third-round choice and he doesn't make your team - that's not good.

The Giants did what they had to do to win. We had our opportunities in the third and fourth quarters, couldn't take advantage of them, and they took advantage of theirs on that last drive.
everybody four game second special starters
When you have four starters out of the game as we do, you have to have everybody else playing. If you did play your second unit, who would play special teams?
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.
deal difficult elements knew
We knew it was going to be difficult to come in here and deal with the elements in their backyard,
along couple draft extra good hoping nice players procedure season terms until
I don't think along those terms until it happens. You've got an off-season to go through at the end of the season and you've got a procedure you go through every year. It's always nice to have a couple extra draft picks, and you're hoping when it's time, you get a couple good players out of it.

We knew he had those type of abilities. He's just been hampered by injuries.

You hope he can step up in games like he does it in practice, but he hasn't done it yet.
