backup bad ball coach coming drive moving situation understand
With the quarterback situation like it is right now, we don't know what it's going to be from a backup standpoint. Then we scored on the first drive and were moving the ball and the one bad play. So we said, 'You know what? Everything's moving pretty good. Why take any chances?' I understand where coach is coming from.
ball blowing difference field half harder kicked mud raining resting second though time torn wind
I think the first half was a lot more manageable, even though it was raining harder and the wind was blowing harder. But as the field was torn up, with the ball resting in the mud every time you could get the snap, there was pretty much mud kicked on the ball so it made a big difference in the second half.
ball behind biggest early effective fall five four heels last mix run running
Our biggest thing is we can't fall behind early like we did. We can't become predictable on offense. Where we have had effectiveness over the last four or five years is when we can mix up the run and the pass. When we are effective running the ball then we can get our play-action going. We can get our drop-back going. We keep defenses on their heels and keep them off-balance because they don't know where we're coming.
ball couple creating defense last played spread throw
The last couple of years we've had to spread it out and throw the ball and try and (to) outscore opponents. But the way our defense played today, creating turnovers, I'll take that anytime.

The third preseason game is really kind of the focus point of when you want to hone in on your timing because everybody knows the fourth preseason game is where you're trying to have some success. But your also don't want anyone getting hurt before the opener.
cost field goal missed sick
I'm sick to my stomach. No missed field goal cost us this game. We had many opportunities to win. That's the disappointing part.
brought career carry charge chose coach coming deal direction expected explained felt good great kansas louis memories number numerous occasions onto personal responsibility shared situation starting though three towards tried
From a personal standpoint, I've shared a number of great memories with (Vermeil). I've said this on numerous occasions: he's been in charge of three organizations as a professional coach in his career and on two of those occasions he chose me to be his starting quarterback. So, I feel a great deal towards him, a great deal of responsibility in St. Louis when I was brought into that situation and he told me what was needed. Even though I wasn't able to carry that over onto the field, I felt good about the direction going into that season. Coming here and having it explained what was expected of me and I tried to do all those things. That's what I told him when he got me to Kansas City.

direction few figured fourth heard middle minutes pittsburgh quarter talking
No one was talking about it on the sidelines, you figured that was the direction it was going. About the middle of the fourth quarter I went up to someone on the sidelines, I heard Pittsburgh was up 14 with only a few minutes to go. I figured it was the way it was going to go.

I feel good with where the timing is.

We called more play action with Willie out. That slowed down their rush a little bit. But Black did a good job.
