behind fiction stand work
We stand behind the work as fiction and that it's good.
adrian deal gone handle nickel normal ready reason
We were going to put Cedric in. The only reason we put Adrian in is because it was a nickel situation, and it was a pass-protection deal that he is (more) ready to handle right now. If it was a normal situation, Cedric would have gone in.
hey sit tough
Hey it's a tough blow. I'm not going to sit here and tell you it isn't. We'll get through it.
depends tough
I don't know. I think that depends on the individual. That's tough to say.
decision entire everybody playing smart wait
I don't know if I could say I see him playing the entire game. We have to wait and see how much everybody else is going to play before we make a decision on what Rex is going to do. We could always get him more time. But we have to be smart with it too.
attention gotten learning looked mental paying prepared rusty sitting taking
(Because of) all the mental reps that he's gotten all season, sitting in on meetings, taking notes, paying attention and being prepared when he wasn't even out there, there wasn't much of a learning curve. He was rusty the first week, which is to be expected, but after that he looked much more confident.
ahead approach credit games learn mental offense played somebody somewhere took
He's way ahead of somebody who's played 1 1/2 games, but he's not where somebody who's played 15 games would be; he's probably somewhere in the middle. I think it's a credit to the mental approach that he's taken, the approach that he took when he was hurt. And before he got hurt, (he was) working in the off-season to really learn the offense as much as you can without doing it.
continue designs fact final modified repeated results spite studies tried
In spite of the fact that these studies have been repeated and that the designs have been modified in a way that has tried to make the studies more valid, we continue to see this disparity in the final results of the study.
add ball believe chance dimension field obviously passing plays
But if we can add the dimension of getting the ball down the field and making more plays in the passing game, then we obviously have a chance to be much better and I believe we can do that.
pictures
Before we showed him the pictures (on the sideline), he'd tell us what happened.
ball focused good physical rid run running sure
I just want to see him run the offense, make good decisions, get rid of the ball quickly. I know the physical part will be there, the accuracy, everything else. I know he'll do that. But just to make sure he's focused in and running the offense.
coaches hurt talk uptight
As coaches you have to be careful. If you talk too much about it, they get uptight and they play not to lose, not to make mistakes. You can't do that. They have to go out and play, yet you have to have focus. If you have that focus, usually you won't hurt yourself.
advantage care challenged executing few giving good jump offense ourselves taking week
That was a big jump for Kyle. We challenged him all week about taking care of the football, taking advantage of opportunities, executing the offense and giving ourselves a chance. Let's see how good we are. Let's see what we can do. We made very few mistakes, and that is what it's all about.
coming plan
Not at all. That was our plan coming in. That is what we said we were going to do on short-yardage situations.
