I think I'm doing OK. I think our No. 1 defense is doing fine. It's a mental thing, not physical mistakes. I don't think I've made any mistakes like that. The mistakes we made against Baltimore wasn't me.
When you get hurt, you start to lose out knowing how to play the game. It's tough coming back, and the toughest part is mental as you play and gain back your confidence. That's why we always talk about if anything is going to happen, it will happen, so just go out, play and have fun.
We've got to get our team right. We're coming out slow, and the only time it seems like we play good is when we're down, and it shouldn't be that way at all. That's the mentality of a losing team.
We kind of flip-flopped the way I thought it would be. We played methodical, error-free football in the opener against Cabot when I would expect us to make mistakes. Last week, we made a lot of mental mistakes and had missed blocking assignments.
You have got to take into account the intensity of the game. We get a feel after the game, the physical toll it has taken on the players. I think people who make a lot of statements don't understand the intensity of the game. Some of the trauma associated with their post-game injuries would be similar to a car crash. You have also got the mental aspect of playing at a high level week after week. It is a totally different environment that we are talking about.
We felt this time we took a bit of a leaf out of Lance Armstrong's book. They looked at a bit of video of his mental preparation ... I think the boys got a little bit out of that sort of thinking.
You get to the point where you're not thinking mentally straight because you are worried about getting back, getting lined up. You're not thinking about the little things that go on.
We've not shown the mental toughness we need yet. We need to stay intense, stay focused. How do you respond to what happened if you did not start? Do you respond the right way and do the right things to improve?
We've recently been having problems getting mentally prepared for games. We keep starting out slow. But after halftime, it seems we always come out to play.
We're physically healthy, so now it's a matter of getting mentally healthy.
We weren't mentally ready to play. We did not play well defensively, that's the bottom line.
Personally, I see little distinction between an artistic mentality and criminality. You couldn't possibly create a compelling story without some wickedness or some fascination with the disgusting. Being good is a hindrance to a writer.
I wish I could put her heart and determination into all of my girls. She has the mentality that this is my year.
The poor will always be among us. In their mind, as long as they get gas and electricity, they're OK. But what about the next month? And the next? . . . The challenge is helping people to break out of the mentality of poverty.
