exciting runner tough
The thing that was exciting to see was how tough a runner he was inside.
caught disguise snap trying
You never know when he's going to snap the ball. If you're trying to disguise and he quick-snaps you, you're caught out of place.
almost ball crazy knees since taking thinking time
(Our) thinking was since they (Colts) had all of their time outs, taking knees would give the ball back to them. Besides, how often does Jerome fumble the ball? Almost never. It was just a crazy thing.
consider gadget maybe run
Maybe he doesn't consider that a gadget play, we run it so much.
confidence diligent exciting games guy level prepared route won
The guy won 13 or 14 games for us, so obviously, your confidence level in him is much higher. He's been so diligent in how he's prepared and how he's studied. If there's a route we want to put in, he now understands the concept, and it can be successful. That's the exciting part.
anybody ball hit move stride throws year
He throws the ball on the move as well as anybody I've ever seen. That's two touchdowns he's had this year on the same kind of throw. And he hit Hines in stride ? it's incredible.
sure
He's in so many different places. You have to make sure you're protected, scheme-wise.
couple ideal pass past run scenario seems
The ideal scenario is what we have been doing for the past couple of weeks. For us, we have been so little pass that it seems like when we go 50-50 run and pass, it makes it look like we are really airing it out.
ball certainly factors finger giving involved point throw time
You can't point the finger at that. There were a lot of factors involved with that game. We certainly weren't giving him a lot of time to throw the ball at times.
game good greater identity importance pass per plays running successful throw yards
The running game is always going to be important for us. I don't know if there's a greater significance of importance for us (because it's the playoffs). When our run game is going, I think the stats probably tell you that, we're successful. We do still have to throw the ball. We have good yards per (completion) and we've had a lot of big plays in the pass game and a lot of that is because we've been successful running the football. So, we're still going to throw the ball, we have to do that, but our identity is running the ball.
exciting hard knew physically players quite success
Once I got into it, I knew that's what I wanted to do. It's very exciting to see success for your players as a coach. But I don't think there is anything quite like being a player, physically working so hard and having success on the field.
grateful great opportunity realized stay visit
I had a great visit with Mr. Davis, and I'm grateful for the opportunity. I just realized that I wanted to stay in Pittsburgh.
considered focused game honored wait winning
I'm honored to be considered for that job, but I've been so focused on getting to this game and winning this game that that's been on the back burner. If something comes up, we'll just have to wait and see.
aspect came good surprising
He came here with a good idea of how to block. It's actually been surprising how well he's done with that aspect of the game.
