active city flying guys hair kansas playing saw
He was one of the most active guys we saw in that Kansas City game, ... He's flying around and playing like his hair is on fire.
deals guys
These guys jumped out. It's one of those deals where you snooze, you lose.
bunch gets guys hard played time younger
It's hard for him most of the time by the time he gets in there we've got - I don't want to say a patchwork offense, but he's usually out there with a bunch of different guys who haven't played together, younger guys,
athlete bit coaching communication dinosaurs guys maybe plenty talk telling
I'm not telling you that there are not some dinosaurs coaching in this league, because there is plenty of them - and maybe they do it a little bit differently. I just think the communication with today's athlete ... it's important that you have young guys that are able to talk to those guys.
displace guys handed learning natural pass
Schematically, because all he has really done was getting handed the football, he's still learning the pass game. When we displace him, that is not natural to him. (But) he's one of those guys where if you show him something, he's got it.
bring coach decision fancy guys happens ok somebody somewhere whatever whether wish work
You can only coach the guys that show up and that's something, again, that decision is going to get made somewhere else. Whether they want to let somebody go and bring somebody in that kind of tickles our fancy a little bit. But you work with the guys that are here and I am OK with the guys that are here. And whatever happens with Buck, we wish him the best. We want him to be here, but if he's not, we keep marching.
defense giving guys heading involved landmark opposed path seeing steps thinking time
You see it with all the guys that are in their first time with this offense. You can't be thinking a lot. You want to just be reacting, heading down your path and seeing what the defense is giving you, as opposed to thinking about what steps you have to take and what your landmark is and how you're involved in the protection.
throw
You can't throw it to them. It's kind of a fundamental thing.
brian came load pass passing picking takes took
In the pass game, he is picking up incrementally enough where you can get him in there. Does he have the whole load yet? No, that takes awhile. It took Brian Westbrook a while and Brian came out of a passing system.
places tape watch
I've got other places I've got to watch. That's why I've got that tape that I can go back in and watch right now.
american-coach deal everybody setting team
I have to deal with everybody that is here in a team setting and so when he is here in a team setting, we will deal with it.
emotions gets great happens happy hear job knee rehab rocky run unless
I just think we got off to a rocky start. But that happens sometimes when emotions run high. But he's doing a great job with the rehab and I'm happy to hear that. Nothing else happens unless the knee gets rehabbed.
board everybody game playing quite ringing straw team ultimate
I think we're just playing the ultimate team game and so everybody has to be on board. Specifically, the quarterback has to be on board because that's kind of the straw that stirs the drink, if you will. You have to feel that, it has to be ringing through. I didn't quite get it.
dynamics games good run standing struggling
I don't feel we're struggling to run the football. I think we've been in some games with different dynamics where you weren't comfortable standing there thinking, 'I'm going to run it between the tackles.' That probably wouldn't be a good thing to do if you're down 17 or 20 points.
