offensive side work
Atrocious, ... We were out of rhythm, so we have a lot of work to do on the offensive side of the ball. A lot of work to do.
defense good honest looked offensive playing rhythm side work
Offensively it was atrocious. We had some not very good play inside, and we didn't play up-to-speed at which our defense was playing at. We looked too big and too sluggish. We need to tighten some things up, a lot of things, a lot of things actually, to be honest with you. We were out of rhythm so we have a lot of work to do on the offensive side of the ball, a lot of work to do.
based cold dreamed faces five happy knew work
Cold and sticky, like I always dreamed it would be. I'm just happy for the guys. I knew we were going to have to work hard, based on how new I am and all the new faces we have. I knew it was going to take some time. But I just didn't think it would take five games.
balance defense number players progress searching trying work
The players right now, like the coaches, are searching for an identity, ... With new players on defense, they are trying to find a balance of what we want to do and what the players do best. I think that is still, unfortunately, a work in progress and will be for a number of weeks.
passed point work
I think we've passed the point of having him anointed at any position. I think anything he earns now, he's got to work his way up the ladder.
earn four hard hopefully league love proved worked year
I think this year that I proved that I worked hard for four years to earn my stripes, and hopefully there will be other organizations around the league that will see it that way. I love to teach. I love to teach.
calls certainly formulate game help lighten load maybe offensive perfect staff steve taken week works
That would be a perfect scenario, where he works with that offensive staff through the whole week and works with Steve to formulate how the game will be called. Maybe Steve calls the game in, with the help of Jerry. But anything that can lighten the load of what I've taken on will be certainly fun.
composure easy help leaders settled stay veteran
I know the veteran leaders will help us stay settled down on the road, ... It is never easy and composure is a key.
sort
It's sort of unbelievable, if you think about it.
problems quite stem urgent
That is really where all the problems stem from, quite honestly. We have to tighten that up. That's very urgent that we have to tighten that up.
hurdle
This is just another hurdle we have to overcome.
great plays pocket stay stiff
I'm not going to keep him from being a great player. If I told him to stay in the pocket and not make plays with his legs, he wouldn't be the same player. I don't want some stiff in the pocket.
brought guys high played plays
That's exciting, to see that the guys we brought in made plays for us and played at a high level.
bothered
They called back a big touchdown. That one bothered me.
