extremely fact given number opportunity played pleasantly prior start
I thought he played extremely well. He's very, very competitive. He's bright. Given the fact he went through a number of circumstances prior to getting the opportunity to come in and start and play, I was pleasantly surprised.
handful plays team
That's what it's about. You're going to have a handful of opportunities to make plays and the team that makes them is going to prevail.
surprised took
I should have still been able to get it done. I wasn't surprised they took me out.
diligent issue line offensive opportunity quick quite skill spent time tremendous work
He's got a tremendous opportunity and quite a challenge. But work has never been an issue for him. . . . He's been a diligent worker. He's been a quick study. He's spent a lot of time with the offensive line as well as the skill people.
entire locker team
Our entire team should be in the locker room. I don't know what he was doing. I want him in the locker room.
ball course determined developing earlier five football intention less mine minutes philip philosophy players six until win
Philip is on course and is a developing player. I think I've indicated to you before there can be opportunities, and we had one earlier this season, that it was my intention to get him in with five or six minutes to go but we never got the ball back until it was considerably less than that. Regular-season football is different than preseason football. It's been a philosophy of mine that you play your players until you have determined that the win is secured.
football formula teams
He's pretty good, isn't he? I know that football teams know there is a formula for winning, and they've got it.
ball beat blocked loss obviously returned
Obviously a very disappointing loss for us. It's really unfortunate for us having the ball blocked and returned for a touchdown. My hat's off to the Eagles, they were able to make a play and beat us.
anybody given pittsburgh prepare send
Pittsburgh will send anybody at you at any given time. They're going to come after you. You just have to prepare and be disciplined.
certain presence
There's a certain presence about L.T. on and off the field.
hard philosophy terrific worked
He's a terrific guy. He worked as hard as anybody. But the approach, the philosophy, were different.
challenge
It's going to be a real challenge for us.
doubt heck
A heck of a milestone, there's no doubt about it.
coaching consistent discipline exactly issues job needs people physical putting quite understanding
It's not physical issues, it's discipline issues in our coverage, and it's not where it needs to be, quite frankly. We're not getting people where they need to be on a consistent basis. My sense is that we've got to do a better job of coaching them, and they've got do a better job of understanding exactly what it is we're putting forward.
