consensus direction either fit heading model season wrong
(Ferraro) has a model of what he wants, and either I fit into that model or I don't. When the season ends, we'll come to a consensus if we're heading in the right direction or the wrong direction.
behind game help hurt ourselves plan throws window
We hurt ourselves more than they did anything to help themselves. It throws a lot of your game plan out the window when you have to play from behind like that.
bounce confidence games guys leaders league seen veteran
I've seen a lot of veteran guys who are leaders in this league play games just like that. Craig's been through this before. I have every confidence he'll bounce back, or we'll find the right person to do that.
absolutely given great misbehave people wrong
Is it wrong for people to misbehave when they have been given great opportunities? I think absolutely it is.
consistency consistent develop either erratic game guys needed trying veteran
Erratic play. What we're trying to develop is consistency. We had that for two weeks, and we won. All of a sudden, we had a game where we needed consistent play and veteran leadership, and we didn't get either from those two guys when we needed it.
couple execution half second suspect
Our execution in the second half was suspect in a couple areas.
break confidence develop far game team type winning
Every game as far as team confidence is make or break for us. We've got to develop that type of a winning attitude.
anxious doctors guys healing process rest season sure taken
Most guys would've taken the rest of the season off. He was able to come back at the end of the season, and really he was anxious to get out there sooner. It's just the doctors wanted to make sure the healing process was complete.
anybody bury coached knows league team
You bury a team when you get a chance. When you get a lead, you don't play it safe. Anybody that's ever coached in this league knows that.
came coaching eight expecting half locker offensive room second seen willing win work worst
We came out of the locker room flat, expecting to win and not willing to work to win. That first half was one of the worst offensive productions I've seen in eight years coaching in this league, and the second half wasn't much better.
against bad guard hit incidents isolated played second start throwing trying
What you have to guard against (in) a second start is that he's not trying to do too much. Of the two interceptions, one was a bad decision, and the other one was getting hit when he was throwing the football. I think those were isolated incidents and that he played well.
decisions expected happen lead next sure team time victory
I expected more from these guys. I know we've got a lot of new faces, but we don't have time to get a team to jell. It has to happen now. We've got a lot of decisions to make on personnel, and we've got to make sure that we get the adjustments to lead us to victory next week.
deal defending dig environment game hole hostile huge next ourselves pivotal tough walking week
If we had come out 0-2, we'd have to dig ourselves out of a huge hole walking into a very hostile environment next week in Colorado. The defending champs are going to be very tough to deal with at their house, so this game was a pivotal game for us.
ball expect giving players point points team turning
Obviously, our point totals that we're giving up aren't what we would expect defensively with some of the players that we have. But in all fairness, the turnovers are the big issue. Defensively, you're going to give up points when you're turning the ball over and giving the other team more opportunities (and) that's what we've been doing.
