good rotation
We've got some good flexibility there with the rotation we've been in,
carry couple good job limiting penalties run speed spells throughout
He did a good job throughout the preseason of limiting the penalties. He had a couple spells where he had more penalties than he should have had. He has all the athleticism to carry out the technique, the speed to run with the receivers, the toughness. And he had a good camp,
benefits friend good heard hidden invaluable mouth number people word
One of the hidden benefits is you get good word of mouth back on campus, ... That's invaluable because you can't get that with a brochure. I've had a number of people say, 'I'd never heard of CUNA, but my friend had an internship there, and I want to know more.'
good inside push
Sometimes when you want inside push we'll use Grady. He's been a good pass-rusher in his career.
fits football good missed player quality
We have to see, ... He missed all of preseason, he's been a good quality player for the Packers for a long time, (but) I think we have to get into the ballgames before we can say, 'Hey, he fits into the scheme.'
controlled football good gotten great job open passing played running wait
They've gotten to where they are doing a good job running the football with a controlled passing game, and they've played great defense. They may open it up a little bit. We'll just have to wait and see.
coaching good job top
It's just one of those things he's got to be on top of. We've got to do a good job of coaching him where he can get back on the field. He's good enough to play in this league, there's no doubt.
against good sharp
They have some good athletes. We've got to be as sharp as we were against Romulus.
biggest came darn deserved football fought given good guys offense played players today together wish
It's disappointing. The guys fought their tails off today and deserved better, ... I mean, our players came together and played a darn good football game. I wish we could have given our offense the ball back at the end, that was an important part of the game. That's the biggest disappointment.
biggest coming couple deserved fought good guys last matched offense team
It's disappointing. Guys fought their tails off and deserved better. That's a good offense coming in here, a 2-0 team that had a lot of success, and we matched them. The biggest disappointment was the last couple of series.
good guys jason miami played rotation taylor took
Our guys at end don't get the big hits. Jason Taylor in Miami played 99% and was (expletive) off if we took him out. We'd still like to have a good rotation going even with those guys.
five game gotten scheme
I think there's a lot of things that get into it. He's been in the scheme for five weeks. He's gotten a lot more reps through the game experience.
defensive fear negative plays
You can get more negative plays just by penetrating gaps. You can also be gashed for more big runs. That's the fear we have as a defensive staff.
blinders bottom bounce bring closer dropped dwell early learn together
You just bounce back. It's part of life; it's part of football. You learn and you go forward. You can't dwell on the past; you can't dwell on what's happened. You put the blinders on, bring it closer together and get back to work. It's too early (to think the bottom has dropped out). If we had that attitude, we'd go 0-16.
