few football game guys injury lost quite rough share
We've lost quite a few guys but that's no excuse. Football is a rough game and we all have had our share of the injury bug.
group guys hope played slow stop together
I don't think you can stop them. You just really hope to slow them down a little bit, ... ... When you get a group together that has played together like these guys have, it's unbelievable to watch.
focused guys mean pleased talk team understand veterans
I get the sense they understand, ... I've been very pleased with our mind-set. Our guys have been focused for every game. It hasn't really wavered at all. That's not us, I don't believe. We don't ever really talk about rankings. There are enough veterans on this team to understand that it doesn't really mean anything.
guys whether
We don't even really think about whether we're without Marshawn or whatever, ... We have guys who are ready.
aaron definitely guys mark period question short snap special taken
It's definitely a question mark about our season, ... Aaron was a pretty special guy. He did so much in such a short period of time. Now we'll be going with guys who have never taken a snap at this level.
bring fast great guys
They bring another dimension, guys who are very fluid, very fast and with great hands.
coach creating energy enjoying fly good group job obvious passion playing
I see a group that's playing with a lot of energy. They have a lot of passion for what they're doing. They fly around. They play very hard. It's obvious coach Zook has done a good job of creating a mind-set of enjoying playing the game.
position
We don't want to put him in a position where he wouldn't be safe.
aaron almost game gonna last oregon second start state talk
We had almost the same talk I had with Aaron after the Oregon State game ... Joe's gonna be our guy, not like the last game where he was going to start the second half.
bowl game gives learned time win
We've learned a lot this year. Any time you can win a bowl game it really gives you some momentum.
attack coming corner game injuries knew plan test weaknesses
Our plan was to try to attack the weaknesses of the defense. We knew coming into the game that they had some injuries at corner and we had to test those guys.
adjusting biggest chance learn offense summer
I think it went just fine. We got a chance to learn some of the concepts. The biggest thing was adjusting to the shotgun. We'll take a look this summer how much of that we want to do and how much of the traditional offense we want to do.
consistency issue last year
I think last year consistency was an issue with him.
behind game joe needs took
Joe took the game pretty hard. He just needs to know we're behind him 100 percent.
