afford anytime cannot changes continue game minimize offense philosophy plan plays turns
We had opportunities to make big plays and we did it in spurts and we just have to continue to minimize the mistakes. One thing about this offense is we cannot afford to make too many mistakes, we are killing ourselves. Anytime that you are 3rd-and-2 and it turns to 3rd-and-7 it changes the whole philosophy of the game, the game plan and game calling.
best both chance game good night odd playing side sunday
It's going to be very strange, but I got a chance to see them on the Sunday night game (against Indianapolis). Both of them look excellent, and they're playing well. It's just going to be odd to see them on the other side of the field. At the same time, they did what's best for them and their families, but they're always going to be good friends of mine.
defensive game predict regardless
I'm very comfortable with that regardless of who's out there. If they can get to know the game plan, get to know their defensive scheme, they can predict what they're going to do, so I feel comfortable with that.
couple games gets great guy guys key move run system
Brandon is doing a great job. He's a guy that's going to make key catches. He's a guy that can run after the catch. As a couple games move on and he gets comfortable in the system he's going to be one of the guys you've got to look for on game day.
ball couple game gave plus side worked
They gave us the ball a couple times and actually scored and that's always a plus for the offense, ... Pretty much for the most part of the game we worked on their side of the field.
calm days exciting game guy norm tells type
Norm is a guy on game day, he really doesn't say much. The days before is when you really got to say, 'Hey Norm, just calm down.' I think it's exciting to him. He tells us, 'This is exciting.' We all should be excited. That's the type of guy he is.
game great short side worked
Pretty much for the most part of the game we worked on their side of the field. That was a great sign, we had the short field.
games trying teammate
I've learned to be patient. When I was younger I rushed things a lot. I tried to attack the game. Now I get teammates more involved before I try to take over.
hurt play games
With the physical mindset I play the game with, I expect to get hurt.
ball controlled days finish hold minutes onto overall penalties supposed today work
We have to find ourselves. We have to find what we are doing wrong. I think overall it's just penalties -- penalties here and there. We controlled the ball today like we were supposed to but, we don't have anything to show for it. If you don't have anything to show for it there is no use to hold onto the ball for 15-20 minutes with no points. That's what we have to work on, we have to finish. If we don't finish there are going to be long days ahead.
hope nfl norm nuances pick players seen talented wish
I wish Norm Chow well and hope he'll pick all the nuances of the NFL up, but he's going to see defenses he's never seen before and his players in the NFL won't be the most talented players on the field. That will be a problem.
determined great harder heat last running seen took year
I see a more determined Calico this year. I think he took a lot of heat last year for not being consistent. ... From the two mini-camps I've seen him, he is out there working a lot harder, he is concentrating a lot harder and he is running great routes.
continue good rush spirit time
I said there are things to come. I told him, 'Don't rush it, just take your time and heal, because as long as you go out there and aggravate it, it's going to continue to get worse.' But he's got a good spirit and, hopefully, he won't be out that long.
ball couple defense forces forcing inside lock missed outside playing small sudden throw yards
When they are playing the cover-two and all of a sudden it's 3rd-and-2 and they play cover-two and they lock you man-to-man with the outside receivers, it forces you to throw the ball inside and forces you to take small yards at a time. We had opportunities to get the ball to the receivers. I think I missed a couple with Brandon Jones. We are doing what the defense is forcing us to do.
