against game games played reason straight won
I thought we played a competitive game against a championship team. There's a reason why they have won 20 straight games in this stadium.
both couple eliminate pass past penalties playing sides trying
I think there were penalties on both sides of the ball, and that's part of the deal. That's part of the deal, if you're playing pass coverage. There are jams, bangs. We're trying to eliminate them. I think we've done better over the past couple of weeks. We've just got to keep working at it.

certainly city control early football game happened kansas league looked lost morning number plays winning won year
I said it early in the year when we were 0-3, we're a lot better football team. This morning I looked at our first Kansas City game. We're two plays away from winning that game. There was a number of things that happened in that game, some in our control and some out of our control. That was certainly a game we could have won. Kansas City won the game, they're 4-3. We lost the game, we're 3-4. That's where this league is a little bit.
continued guys
Our guys continued to fight. But as we all know, it's a four-quarter game.

Kerry gets excited for every game, and I'm sure he'll be a little more here. But you know, he's played enough and he knows you've got to go play. And you've got to play within what we're doing and what the defense is giving us opportunities to do.

Kerry gave the (Houston) safety a quick pump and he just went flying to Randy. They actually had a guy underneath and both safeties running to him. When (Collins) threw the ball outside to Doug, it's a big play.

Jake had his knee scoped this morning. It was a very short procedure. He has a slight torn cartilage edge, and it was scoped. It's probably in that three-to-four week range.
calls close coaching couple terms understand
keep coaching it. We had a couple of calls that were real close in terms of the 5-yard (chuck) rule. It's right at 41/2 or 5 yards. We just have to understand it is going to be called right close there, and if you are in a collision with a guy, you've got to get off him.
field game good guy last pass
He's a very good pass protector. When you look at the game last week, he had 10 plays, (and) he is a guy who should be on the field 25 times a game.

He's a very good pass protector, ... He is still going to get the ball at tailback, when he is in the game at tailback. (In) the game last week, he had 10 plays.
