Today was certainly a positive step in the right direction. I am proud of the way our team has hung together and continued to battle. We now have to take this win and build on it.

We had our opportunities and were close on a few, but we didn't make the plays it takes to beat a good football team.
detail efficient expect eye football sloppy team winning
We can't be a sloppy team and expect to play winning football. We have to be an efficient team with an eye to detail to win games.
football games obviously pass progress seen terms win work
We're obviously still a work in progress in terms of our pass protection. But I've seen us, at times, do the things that you have to do to win football games on offence. We just have to do it more consistently with our execution.

You look at Pittsburgh and New England. Normally, this is a copycat league. When teams are having success, people are always going to study what they are doing. I also think things go in cycles ... I think it swung back the other way a little bit.

We aren't satisfied with where we are and we'll do whatever it takes to get to where we want to go.
confident exactly good players worst
To me, the worst thing you can do is do too many things, where the players are uncertain. I don't think they play as aggressive. The most important thing is, come Sunday, that they're confident and feel good going out there. They know exactly what to do, and they know exactly how to do it.
gotten guys job
We've got a lot of young guys that have gotten on the job training.
convinced opener smarter takes team win work
We've got to go back to work and become a more disciplined and smarter team and do all the things it takes to win games. We have a lot of work to do because our opener is right around the corner. I'm convinced that we can get to where we need to be.
