basic blocking committed tackling
The thing I was most disappointed in was the basic fundamentals of our team. Our blocking and tackling were poor, and we committed too many penalties.
basically played
I'm very disappointed in the way we played tonight. The thing I was most disappointed in was basically the fundamentals of our team.
defense matter players
I think what it comes down to, no matter what defense you're in, it's a matter of players going out and making plays. I think many times (the scheme) is overrated.
anybody hard league quite
It's hard to think of anybody in the league that's quite like him right now.
deal effort felt focused game last playoff plays teams watch
I think that a big part of this game is how you deal with distractions. I've always felt that when you watch teams in the last game of the season, especially if they are out of the playoff race, it comes down to the most focused team and who plays with the most effort comes out on top. It's a challenge.
ability mind question special teams
There's no question in my mind we have more playmaking ability on our special teams than we've had at any point.
anticipate coach football head heart job soul understand win work
I understand the job as the head football coach is to win games. But when you put your heart and soul into something and it doesn't work the way you want it or anticipate it to, it's disappointing.
basically defense gets nickel offense stay
Their defense really complements their offense. The offense gets up on you, and then the defense is able to basically stay in the nickel and really get after the quarterback.
basically character check far gut penalties
The thing I was the most disappointed in (Sunday) was basically the fundamentals of our team. Our tackling, our blocking, there were far too many penalties right now, it's a gut check and a character check for our team.
good point
From that point on, we really didn't get a lot done. We're going to have to take a good look at it as we go through the preseason process.
change expect jason trying week win worried
I can't be worried about that, because we're trying to win games. They didn't play the way we expect or they expect, but Jason and Phillip will still contribute. This can change from week to week.
corey question today
Right now, if we had to play this week, Corey Bradford would be a question mark. He's getting an MRI today on his groin.
built jason knowing prepare schemes side taylor trying
It helps, no question. I've been on the other side trying to prepare for the Dolphins. Your schemes are going to be built around knowing where Jason Taylor is located.
adverse difficult extremely good guys handling hard job played season until
Our guys played hard until the end again. They did a good job of handling a lot of adverse situations. It's been an extremely difficult season for all of us.
