drawing good
I think what they're doing is good for the game. They're drawing a lot of attention. They haven't really been challenged.
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.
football good responsibility strides three win
Our responsibility was to win football games, and we made good strides the first three seasons, but we didn't get it done this year. I'm disappointed that things had to end this way.
beat convert football good team
To beat a good football team like Jacksonville, you've got to convert all of your opportunities.
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.
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.
beat close football good plays takes
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.
accomplish enable forward goal good move players saw team trying
Our No. 1 goal is trying to find 53 players that will enable us to have the kind of team that can move forward and accomplish the things we want to accomplish. I saw a lot of good things early.
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.
totally
I think what you have is two totally different situations.
ball empty excellent execution game knew last leaves lose phases played reason talented team three time turned
I think any time you lose a game like today, it leaves you with an empty feeling. We played a talented team and there is a reason why that team was 15-1 last year. We knew going in that it was going to take excellent execution on our part in all three phases of our team. Unfortunately we did not get that, we turned the ball over early.
awful efficient game hard negative offensive sloppy
I think there's an awful lot for us to learn. We were not sharp. We were too sloppy at times with the turnovers and penalties. It's hard to have an efficient offensive game if you have that many negative plays.
area camp caught overtime ton training worked
Jerome caught a ton of punts in training camp because he really hadn't done much of that in college. We kind of worked him overtime in that area during camp.
fighting giving looking plays
Jerome has really been giving us a spark. When you are fighting through what we are fighting through, you are looking to try to make plays any way you can.
