ends game limits passing tight
It really limits us in our passing game. We like to use two tight ends in our passing game and we couldn't.
gives juices line team
It juices up our guys. It gives you momentum. It gives you life. It makes your team feel like it's controlling the line of scrimmage.
capable coaches fun knows maybe people practice question
Do I think he's capable of it? I'd say without question. I think he knows that. I think all of our receivers know that. All of our coaches know that. I think the people that maybe question it are those who aren't in practice every day, don't see the way he practices, the fun he has.
against less loved people played talk
You talk about who they didn't have. We would have loved to have had our front-line people against their front-line people. I think we probably played with less than they did.
arm ball guy instincts throughout tight trusts window
Throughout his career, he has always been a guy who trusts his arm and can get the ball through a very tight window sometimes. His instincts have been right more often than wrong.
early eight form gets hit start
We'd like to get him hit eight or 10 times early on, try to get that first- or second-game jitters out of him that he's had in years past. Once he gets over that, he's fine. You know, he can go on long streaks without a turnover. Let's get into midseason form at the start of the season.
guards
We're going to let those guards play a lot during the game.
fighter struggling wants
I know he was struggling even in warm-ups and didn't know how much he was going to be able to play. He's a fighter and a warrior, and he wants to play. But, obviously, after the first two series, he wasn't going to be able to play.
He's still not there completely, but he did everything.
against concerned controlled game happen running rushing yards
We had 190 yards rushing against them and controlled the game with our running game. They have to be concerned about that. I know they don't want that to happen to them again.
adjustment block both defensive either good kevin line ready regardless spent talent time training
We have to be ready for both 3-4 or 4-3. Either way, they've got good talent, (and) their defensive tackles (Pat and Kevin Williams) are outstanding. We spent time (in training camp) on the 3-4 and it shouldn't be a big adjustment for us. Regardless of where they line up inside, we've got to block them.
ben david donald full game learning lee miss run
We've got to get our run game going, so we'll miss him there. But we've got David Martin, who I think will be at full speed, Donald Lee is learning more and more, and we've got Ben Steele.
tempo trying
We're not evaluating Brett. We're just trying to get a little tempo going with the first group.
both good happy played study
We'll go back and look and study the tape, but the good thing is they both played well. We're happy with both of them.
