coming competing further game
Everybody's competing and working for the job. We're going to go through this week, and we have a game coming up to make further evaluations.
anticipate coaches evaluate happen needs problem talk
It's been addressed. If (Little) has a problem with any situation, he needs to come and talk to me about it. Our coaches evaluate every practice, every game. We don't (air gripes) that way. We haven't done it in the past; we're not going to do it now. So, I don't anticipate that to happen again.
afternoon coaches concern defensive gone guy matter meeting per physically player quite scheme sure talk worked
It's just a matter of him getting used to what we're doing. I'm not sure we're there quite yet. I'm going to talk with the defensive coaches in my meeting this afternoon with them and just see where we feel he is. He's a guy that hasn't really gone through preseason and has not been in the scheme per se, as a player physically worked into the scheme. So, obviously, we have a little concern there.
available certain definitely spots wide
There are definitely spots available to be had by certain players. That 53rd, 52nd, 51st, 50th spots are still wide open.
adversity good happens work
What happens when adversity strikes? And it will, and we'll have to work through those issues. It won't always be the good times in the preseason when everyone's patting you on the back.
full games glass half
We're not going to make it look pretty and say, 'Well, we've been here before,' ... We have 14 games to play and we can't panic. But I don't think you can tell them the glass is half full when it's not.
ability backs consider creating finishing good great happen job
I think the linemen and the receivers can do a much better job of finishing and creating those opportunities for the backs. Then again, it's also the backs as well. Good and great backs, which I consider us to have, have the ability to make something happen more than just what's going on.
ease fast possibly
We'll ease them in as fast as we possibly can.
applying ball cause coming defensive edge feeling game generate knocking mainly pass pick position pressure result rushed stress throw
Turnovers are a result mainly from applying pressure on the quarterback. Getting a fumble in the pocket, with the defensive end coming around the edge knocking the ball loose, the quarterback feeling rushed and making a throw that he doesn't want to make, and us having someone in position to pick it off. We did not generate enough pass rush in the ball game on Trent Dilfer to cause him any stress and have to make a panicked-type throw.
add fifth help mine philosophy receiver somebody
We want to add a fifth receiver if we can. I don't think our philosophy - mine or Ted's - is to just to go out and get somebody to get somebody. But if we can get someone who can come in and help us, (we will).
drafted four high level rotation
They used to play pretty much with the same four guys. But they've drafted well there, so their rotation now allows them to play at a high level consistently, and it's really benefiting them.
extra field four helped missed numerous point wrong
They're 3-0 but we helped them become 3-0. We had a missed field goal, a missed extra point and four turnovers. There were numerous things that went wrong for us.
bad deal missed mistakes somebody
They missed the call, ... It's bad enough you have to deal with the mistakes you make; we have to live with our mistakes. Now, we have to live with somebody else's mistakes. That makes it tough.
coming cut penalties
They're improved, but they're still coming at costly times. I think we cut them in half, but still, penalties are still costly. They're not doing it intentionally, but it's not acceptable, either.
