balls deep
We thought we could get some deep balls with him,
half playing second
We just weren't the same in the second half without him. No one is playing as well as he is.
correct game mistakes plan team totally type week
You have to correct mistakes and just show where we had breakdowns. A lot of it was communication. That's something that we'll have to correct and go back to fundamentals. You've got a totally different game plan this week and a different type of team that you're defending.
beat good half throwing tyler
Tyler can beat you with his feet. We didn't give him a lot of throwing opportunities, but I thought the one just before half (to Randle El) was well-anticipated. I thought (Donovan) did some real good things.
block dropping specific
We had a specific block put in. It would have had a chance, but the punter cooperated by dropping the ball.

You have two ranked teams and I think this is the second-biggest stadium in the country. They talk about this maybe being the largest crowd ever at the stadium, national TV again, play for a lot; if that doesn't get your motor running, there's something wrong.
athletic both bunch chance win
We didn't play particularly well and still had a chance to win both of those games. They're very athletic (teams) and they do have a lot of speed, but we're not a bunch of slugs in this league.
backs games running win
When we win big games, our running backs play well.
absorb confidence forward higher honest loss move people priority until valuable wrapped
We'll absorb Jamie's loss and move forward and, to be honest with you, I'm not going to get real wrapped up in it this week. I have one other priority that sits a little higher than replacing Jamie, as valuable as he was, and I have a lot of confidence in the people that I have that we'll be able to absorb it for the short-term until we find a replacement. But I'm not going to let it be a distraction.
games sparks momentum
We always talk about being a spark and swinging the momentum of the game and that swung it.
motivation thinking games
We certainly haven't used that as a motivation, ... The games themselves and the time that they've put in in preparation for these games is motivation enough. I don't think that has anything to do with it at all.
guy months technique
We had some guys that abandoned their technique and abandoned some of the things that we just worked a month on,
team hard-work player
Everybody has a role on the team, and some have a role as a scout team player. They have to emulate the offenses that we are going to face. Those players still have to go through the out-of-season work and they work hard.
