focusing hard ready talked team
I've always talked to my team about focusing on the things you can control. So I got this team ready to play as hard as they could today.
billy catch decisions feelings guy hopefully opportunity strong team tougher wish
It's one of the tougher decisions we've had to make because you have such strong feelings about Billy and the kind of team guy he's been. We wish him well and hopefully he has an opportunity to catch on with another team.
attempted believe consistent following improved season stay talented team
I believe we have our most talented group. We have attempted to stay consistent in following the plan. We have improved each season and I think this will be the most competitive team we've had.
compete football improved takes team win
Overall, we improved as a football team yesterday. We did more of the things it takes to go in and compete and win a game.
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.
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.
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.
care chunks eat hard plays taken team work
Big plays like that are hard to overcome. One play to eat up that kind of yardage is tough. For us to be the kind of team we want to be we can't give up yardage in big chunks like that. We'll go back and work on that and get it taken care of.
knack quickness rushing
I think his quickness and speed. He's got a knack for rushing the passer.
tough year
It's been a tough year. You never want to have another year like this one.
learn
You don't want to have years like this. I told the guys, you have to learn from this.
coming confident david duress looking offense offensive performance sure total
I'm sure that our offense is not real confident coming out of this game, but they'll recover. David was under duress a lot and I don't think our offensive performance was really what we were looking for out of our total offensive team.
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.
