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,
couple deal felt field force goals minimize second
The deal was to try to force field goals and minimize the touchdowns and come up with a couple of turnovers. I felt like we had that going on defense. But in the second half, we've got to get a couple of scores.
adversity deal good guys handle hit job teams
From a fundamental standpoint, particularly on defense, I didn't do a good enough job of getting the guys prepared. We hit adversity. We did not deal with adversity the way championship teams deal with adversity. We didn't handle it well.
crossed deal discipline guys help hopefully mature mind possible road standpoint traveling
I told our guys when we went to Tampa, I said, 'This is going to help us down the road from the standpoint of the traveling and possible distractions.' You have to discipline your mind and be mature enough to deal with all of that during the season. And those things are going to come up during the season. Hopefully we've already crossed that bridge.
address adversity dame deal fine football hit obviously played team teams week
Notre Dame was obviously a fine football team and we must have miscalculated them and that's my responsibility. We hit adversity and did not deal with it the way championship teams deal with adversity, so we'll address that. The way we played in week 1 will not be the way we play in week 11.
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.
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.
