physical since talked
We are getting better and more physical and more explosive. That's what we have talked about doing since we got here.
bad gaps giving great guys missed team
Fundamentally we are getting better. But there are enough bad things, too - missed tackles and guys getting out of their gaps and giving up big plays. That's something we can't do. To be a great team like we want to be, we can't give up those big plays.
explosive fast field hard moving size worked
You have to be big and fast and strong. That's what we have really worked hard at. We have worked on being more explosive on the field. It is not just about size and strength. We have to get that on the field and get them moving faster. That is where we are headed.
