backs backward game good involved last offense played running score spring springs start three throws today
I've been involved in springs where, the last week, you're going backward -- you go out for the spring game and the quarterback throws three interceptions, the running backs fumble and the offense doesn't score a touchdown. Then you start making excuses. But we played well enough today and did enough good things.
against backs chasing fast gets good ran realize runs time toughest yards
I think Shane is the toughest back we have, I didn't realize how tough he was. You can see that by the yards he gets after he gets hit. But I also like that he has had some runs where he outran people. He is one of those backs who wouldn't time real good if he ran against the clock, but he can run as fast as he has to when someone is chasing him.
awful breaks guy saw today
I think what you saw out there today is really no different than what you saw in the preseason. He breaks an awful lot of tackles and the guy has an awful lot of desire.
appreciate guys neat throwback
I think it was just a throwback weekend. We're back to our originals. But it was neat that the guys did appreciate it.
cope deal force help mindset scenarios
I think there are different scenarios that if you have to deal with them as a team, they help force your mindset to cope with circumstances,
atmosphere came field healthy liked looked overall plays pleased
Overall I was pleased with today. We have a long way to go but I liked the way some things looked today. Being at Heinz Field was good, the atmosphere was good. We were able to get in about 100 plays and we came out healthy which is very important.
backup line ready
Our backup line is inexperienced, and they're not ready to play right now.
adding class close coming couple exciting future near players recruiting
Recruiting is exciting right now. I think we're close right now to adding a couple more players here in the near future to our outstanding class coming in already.
impact kevin opportunity
I think Kevin Collier will have an opportunity to make an impact early.
continue good joe player threaten
Joe's a good player for us and Joe will continue to be a good player for us, but we need to threaten people,
confidence establish good last might obvious took week
We just completely took away any kind of confidence that we might have been able to establish on offense. It's so disappointing right now. It's obvious we're not a very good team. Last week it was the defense, and this week it was offensively.
bit bounce contribute everybody last slow tells together year
That all together has contribute to Ty's slow start. But he'll bounce back. He started a little bit slow last year from what everybody tells me.
ball eight hands
We've got to find a way to get the ball in his hands eight or 10 times a game.
slow
We've got to find a way out of it, ... We started slow and that's where we are right now.
