couple decisions defensive early ears football fun great job largely line pin points throw
It happened. They did a great job that game. Certainly, we spotted them 10 points early on largely in part to a couple of important decisions by me. Certainly, we had to play catch-up from then on. And when you have to throw the football and the defensive line can just pin their ears back and go, it's not a fun day sometimes.
good points
We had opportunities. It is frustrating. We only put up 20 points and that wasn't good enough today.
browns field good great half huge points score settled seven three
We did some good things, ... I'm disappointed that we settled for three field goals, but it was great to end the half the way we did. To score seven points was huge after the Browns touchdown.
bad ball best couple dig early half hole learn plays points second spot team throw tough
When you spot a team like that 10 points out of the chute, it's going to be a tough hole to dig out of. A couple bad plays early on and they really got after us. We had to throw the ball a lot in the second half and they teed off on us. Offensively, it wasn't one of our best performances. We need to try to learn from that film and learn from what they have done since.
last mindset players took week
Last week, we were 9-4, but you could have swore we were 4-9. That's the mindset our players took and our coaches, too. We didn't play well last week and we wanted to come back and answer.
saw seen
I saw No. 27 on him. I hadn't seen it all day because there's not many times you get one-on-one.
covering gave saw signal steve took
I saw (Thompson) was covering him -- when I saw that I gave him a signal that I wanted to go there. Steve put on the burners and took off.
covering game gave saw seen
I saw 27 was covering him. I hadn't seen that all game long. So I gave him a little signal.
anyone bit nice rod starting
Rod is starting to play a little bit more; it's nice to get anyone involved.
almost eyes hurt talking year
Just talking to some of those guys, you could almost kind of see hurt in their eyes because it's been a long, long year for them. We have no idea what they've had to go through.
early
We couldn't get much going and some turnovers early killed us.
block couple football hits love sees
Stephen has unbelievable vision. That's why the lineman love to block for him. If he sees it, he hits it. There's no hesitation. He hits it and goes. Look what he did a couple of years ago. If we can get him back, he makes us a better football team.
continue dominant easier hopefully last left ready season smart struggled teams trying weeks
Look at Washington: They were so dominant two weeks ago and then they struggled last week. You have to be ready every week. Hopefully, we can be one of the better teams in the N.F.L. But that's easier said than done. If we continue working the way we are and trying to play smart football, hopefully we can be one of those teams. But there's still a lot of season left to be played.
blink center field guess hold knew motion remember seemed sent sky weird
I still remember how, before that game, you could see the haze in the sky from the smoke. It was weird ... I remember getting under center and we sent 'Moose' (Muhammad) in motion that first play of the game, and the field was bouncing. I guess it was the trays (that hold the turf) or something. That's when you knew it was just a game. And it just seemed like it was over in a blink of an eye.
