offensive survived
This is the healthiest we've been on the offensive line. We've really survived this preseason without injury, and that's been a first for us.
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.
coaches intensity win
That intensity to win transfers to his coaches and players. I don't think that has ever wavered at all.
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.
backup guys line roles starting
They've got guys in backup roles on that line there that would be starting for other teams,
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.
believe coaches decided draft firmly fix options players team
It's not like there's options. The options are decided in the offseason and in the draft and in the preseason and so forth. Now, we have our team set, and we have to be able to fix it from within, coaches and players alike. I firmly believe we can do it. (But) I'm not going to say it's easy.
game stay
For him to want to stay at the game over going to the doctor's was ludicrous, ... But, he wanted to be at the game and be a part of it so much.
best bit felt opportunity parents pleased rush time wants
Then, to get him back on the field, it would have been a little bit of a rush and probably not in his best interests. So, we felt like this, as an organization, was the best way to go, ... I know his parents were pleased with that decision. He just wants to get well and I think this time allows him the opportunity to do that.
allow contact easy effort gets guy knew move pleased plus position second
This guy is not someone who is easy to get down. I knew we would be in position but he gets contact plus 2, 3 yards. I was very pleased how we gang-tackled him and not allow his second effort to move the pile.
backup biggest catalyst certainly couple defense difference drafted four good guys holes played year
They're the catalyst to the defense because they're so active, so disruptive. There aren't a whole lot of holes there. They've certainly drafted well and had good guys in backup roles. That's the biggest difference between this year and a couple years ago when they played with the same four guys.
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.
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.
