difficult five row start winning
Winning five in a row is difficult to do. But that's over with. Now we start a new season.
establish football hurt momentum start tough
Tough way to start a football game. It's tough to establish any momentum or get anything going. I think that hurt us.
backed start tough
Being backed up and not being able to make a first down, that was a real tough way to start the game.
changes continue criticism points reading scoring start turn until
That kind of criticism will continue until we turn things around here, ... I'm still not reading the papers. Nothing changes around here until we start scoring some points and winning.
basics football playing running smart solid start turning year
The basics start with playing smart football, not turning it over and also running the football and playing solid defense. That's how you win. We've been doing those things. The first part of the year we weren't.
character coach football fortunate gets great model role starts talks top
I think we're all in this thing together, and everything starts at the top with Coach Gibbs. He gets up and talks to us about how important character is, not only as a football player, but as a person. He's a great example, a great role model for all of us and we're real fortunate to have him.
run throw
We couldn't run it and, obviously, we didn't throw well, either.
clean entirely game needs passing plays realize timing watch worked
We had two big plays that worked and got us the win, but there is still some timing there and some work that needs to be done, ... You watch the game and realize we have to clean up some things. The passing game wasn't entirely there.
critical four games great guys hard last realize riding season tough worked year
Our season is riding on this game. The guys have worked real hard all year to get to this place. From where we were at 5-6, it's pretty remarkable. All of that being said and as great as these last four games have been, if we don't get this one, it would be tough to end the season that way. We have to realize how critical this is.
bounce good great nobody rally rock smarter works
Rock is just a great guy, ... Nobody works harder, nobody has a better attitude. These things just happen. I'm not going to be the only one to say these things happen. It's unfortunate. We'll bounce back and we'll rally around each other. It's very frustrating. We're doing some good things. If we do our own part and we're smarter with the ball, we'll be okay.
few good opinion ways
We feel good about a few things that we're doing, but in my opinion we've got a ways to go.
coached fortunate great group helped system
We were very fortunate to be in that system and to be coached by that group of coaches. It was a great environment, great to come to right out of college. I was only there for two years, but it helped me so much.
football good helps knowing priorities relationship three top wife
That allows me to put things in perspective, knowing I've got some priorities in my life. At the top is my relationship with God, and then my relationship with my wife and kids, and football's down there around three or four. Knowing that helps me be a good football player.
guys played
We've played only one game, but for the most part guys are more comfortable with what we're doing.
