ball carry felt last missed played ready three wished
I wished he could have played in the last ball game, he didn't feel that having been in the courthouse he was ready to play, he had missed three practices, so I didn't feel I wanted to put him out there at risk. But I felt in the first three games, he had opportunities to carry the football.
ball calls necessary plays win
We just didn't make the necessary plays to win this ball game, ... or make the necessary calls to win this ball game.
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.
ball carry though
Even though he doesn't carry the ball very much we do ball drills with him every day,
ball factor missed second spinning wind
The wind was not a factor on any of the missed kicks. I know the ball was spinning as they put it down on the first one. The second one, I don't know.
bad ball circumstance perfectly push
Obviously, there was an extenuating circumstance with a bad snap. But we got the ball down. Obviously, it's not perfectly down, but the ball did get down and you'd like to think he'd be able to push it through.
anyway ball close earlier
Like I said earlier in the week, I'm going to keep that part of it close to the vest. Obviously, after the first ball game, it's all out there anyway for (the next) 15 weeks.
ability ball bounce encouraged looks outside run seen successful
He looks like he has the ability to run between the tackles pretty well. I've seen him bounce the ball outside with some speed. I don't think he had many opportunities to be successful in the game. I think from what I've seen I've been encouraged by him.
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.
concern good playing
The only concern I have is how is he playing right now, and he's playing pretty good. So, I feel good about that.
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.
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.
advantage blame chances game
I won't blame the game on that fan. We had our chances and we didn't take advantage of them.
effort encouraged fairly football fought imagination league losing moral national saw stretch supposed thrill time victories winners year
I was fairly encouraged for the first time this year - there's no thrill in losing and there's no moral victories by any stretch of the imagination in the National Football League - but I saw some things out of the team. I thought they battled, I thought they competed, they fought and did the things that winners are supposed to do from an effort standpoint.
