came high knew prepare priority unique year
They're a very unique offense; we knew that. They came out, especially in the first two series, in some things we didn't prepare for. They came out with two backs, (which) wasn't a high priority for them a year ago.
assistant coaches head
Assistant coaches make recommendations. Head coaches make decisions.
beat ourselves pride
They beat us (physically). I think it is something we pride ourselves on.
certain decided guys handle phases practiced
A lot will be decided on Saturday. (I want) to see how our guys handle certain situations. At times, we've practiced very well in all phases of the game.
bit couple days kids knew legs met opportunity practiced
It was something that if we practiced well the first couple days down here we knew this was going to be a day (off). We met a little bit but it was an opportunity to let the kids get their legs back.
experience mix people pleased possible stands unique
It was a unique experience to get out there and mix it up for the fans. I was pleased with the turnout. We wanted to get as many people in the stands as possible to make it a game-day environment.
ask guy pride second takes
After the second day, he's got it mastered, too. He's just a guy who takes a lot of pride in what we ask him to do.
legs opportunity
It was an opportunity for them to get their legs back under them.
both coached coaches coaching college experience fortunate ideal join nfl played running successful
Johns experience as a college and NFL running back, as well as the coaches he has both played for and coached with, makes him an ideal person to coach our backfield. He has been successful coaching both NFL and college running backs. We are very fortunate to have him join us.
both good great mark overall plays pleasant surprise
Mark has been a pleasant surprise for us. He has really responded well; the keys, the reads, he's got great ability, just his overall presence. It's good because he can now make plays both ways.
came early huge paul routes
John's got to get used to where the routes are actually being (run) at and get used to the receivers so they are consistent. That is one of the things that really jumped out early on when Paul came here - to get the No. 1 receivers working with the No. 1 quarterback as much as they can. That's got to be a huge emphasis.
continue himself
I like the way he composes himself on the field. They'll continue to make ground.
accept again consistent emphasized time whatever
Whatever it was, we really emphasized that we wanted it to be consistent time and time again and weren't going to accept anything less.
again began bowl daily fits injury learning mike season start until
He never had the daily repetitions of a mike learning curve, the reads, the reactions, the fits and drills. It was kind of a season in learning. When he began to start to play pretty well is when he had that little injury and didn't really play well again until the bowl game.
