adversity opportunity difficult-situations
Anyone can see the adversity in a difficult situation, but it takes a stronger person to see the opportunity.
ball chance encounter front game handing looking lt situation tackling throwing whether
When we get him the ball, we want to give it to him with a chance for something to happen. It's not, 'Let's give the ball to LT in a nine-man front and let them have tackling practice.' That's not the point. When we encounter every game situation, we're looking at how we can put LT in a situation to succeed, whether it's throwing it to him or handing it off.
attitude exactly game good last obviously point since sitting situation team time win
I don't think we're in a situation at all where anybody's overreacting here. I mean, obviously 2-3 is not where we thought we'd be at this point in the season, especially since I feel like we have a really good team and I feel like we're better than we were last year, ... But I think our attitude is and the way we look at it is, if we win this game we're sitting at 3-3, which is exactly where we were sitting at this time last year.
control next position situation three win
We feel like we have to win because of the situation we're in. I still feel like we're in a position where we control our own destiny. If we win each of these next three games, we're in.
bad coming couple guess guys hit line lt ourselves situations
They guess right at times and we put ourselves in bad situations with second-and-longs and third-and-longs. We had guys coming through the line (unabated). LT got hit in the backfield a couple of times.
attitude community couple craving maybe plan rough san seems situation step
It seems like at Purdue and then the Chargers and then to here -- it's kind of a situation where maybe they had a couple of rough seasons. The community was just craving that winner. And maybe there was a change, like a new coach, a new attitude and you're just able to step in and become a winner. That's what we did at Purdue and at San Diego, and now we plan on doing that here.
came funny great kept momentum others played prepare situations teams three
It's interesting that three teams have (off weeks) to prepare for us now, but byes can be funny things. I've been in situations where we came off one and played terrible. I've also been in others where we came off one and just kept rolling. We have great momentum now. We just want to keep it going.
handle learned rookie short ways york
I think that being in New York and having that rookie year, he's been through a lot in a short time, and he's learned ways to handle it.
beyond everybody gave job maybe move obvious offer opportunity people reluctance since stands stay win
I think it's pretty obvious by the one offer they gave me and their reluctance to move beyond that point. Maybe I'd have the opportunity to stay there and win my job back once again. But since I kind of know where everybody stands in the organization and the people who are making the decisions, I don't think so.
close decided division eight fight finish gaining games good job last learning losing lost matter players playoff point season spot time trying win year
I think it's still at the point of learning how to finish games. I feel like last year we did a good job of it. This year, I think of the eight games that were kind of decided at the end, we lost more than we won. Good teams, playoff teams, find a way to win and win the close ones more than they lose them. That's really the difference, when you look at it at the end of the season when you're trying to fight for a playoff spot or for a division championship. Unfortunately, we were on the losing end of those. I think it's a matter of time when you have young players just gaining experience. You learn how to win.
pass swing turning
I said, 'Thanks LT, for turning that swing pass into a 30-yard touchdown pass,'
four shots
We had four shots at it. I've got to come through.
drive game prepare reacting starting
I still feel like I'm getting the reps that I need to prepare myself for the season, ... Really the big thing is just starting the game and being in there for that first drive to see what (defenses) are doing and reacting to it.
amaze ceases maybe spoiled
Maybe I'm spoiled a little. I see it all the time, but he just never ceases to amaze me.
