coaching ifs looking standpoint start throwing
When you start looking at the coaching standpoint with OT, you're throwing a lot of what ifs in there,
guys hit instead minimize remember sake telling throw timing wrong
I remember telling our guys this. 'They're going to have some things they hit us with when their timing is right and they've got us in the wrong protection. Just minimize it. Instead of a 10-yard sack, make it a three-yard sack. And for God's sake don't throw it up for grabs.
asset body confuse describe guy hit movements receiver throw trying understand veteran
I can't describe what an asset it is. You want a receiver that doesn't make movements that confuse you about where he's going -- that's kind of like trying to hit a gnat. You want a guy who's smooth. You want a guy who you understand where he's going, you kind of got his body language, and a veteran guy where you know that if you throw it, he can make a play.
ball basic drop fairly handle plan priority stupid system throw
He doesn't do stupid things with the ball. Mike's system is pretty sound. They'll throw the ball fairly quick. They don't drop back with a lot of looks. He'll have a plan that will be very basic and his priority will be the quarterback. I think he'll handle the 3-4 pretty well. I really do.
capable desires guys higher people stop unless
I think we have higher expectations and desires than a lot of people think, or that we're capable of. Our guys weren't going to stop unless they were going to win.
protection routes supposed
I thought Jesse did all right, considering some things. We had some routes that weren't where they were supposed to be and protection problems.
elite evolving far goes guys handled himself kerry limit top tremendous
Kerry is evolving into an elite quarterback in this league. One of the top guys who is going to play this game. And as he goes on, there's no limit to him right now. He's come so far and handled himself so well. There's no limit. He's got tremendous talent.
bridge difficult figuring gap guys hard hold normal numbers players society team whatever within
I would say that whatever our numbers are, they're probably pretty much league-wide and probably pretty much society-wide. I don't think our team is any different from any other team or society as a whole. I don't think those numbers are out of whack. The hard thing is we hold these players to different standards. That's going to be the difficult part, figuring out how we are going to bridge that gap if these guys can't be within these normal societal numbers.
change drawn piece routes run stick walk
When we walk out of the meeting, and it's all drawn up on the piece of paper, you don't run routes as a stick man. You run routes with a feel. You know when to sit. You know when to slide. You know when to change directions. That stuff.
athletic beaten group guys hammer match season
We didn't play real well all season and realistically, we should have beaten them twice. They didn't hammer us. We should have beaten them twice. I think Seattle's a pretty hard-nosed, athletic group of guys that will match up pretty well.
adjusting magic panic until
We're not going to panic here, ... You keep trying, you just have to keep adjusting little things until we can get 'em going. There's no magic fix. I try little different things, but it still comes down to we have to go out and play and execute.
looks wants worked
He has worked hard. He wants to be good. His fundamentals are so much better. He is smooth, he is crisp, and he just looks comfortable out there now.
hole
I couldn't, ... It was the hole in our lives.
changed kicked last season towards
We changed up his fundamentals last season and it really kicked in towards the end of the season,
