consistency coverage point
We've got to get the coverage to a point where there's more consistency in it.
english run
I was an English major. And I have run out of superlatives.
happens natural panic sets
I think what happens is a sense of panic sets in. It's a natural reaction.
everybody ours understand
I think we all understand that ours is a very difficult, competitive enterprise, and in my opinion, it's important that everybody is aimed in the same direction.
efficiency emotion lost momentum offensive regardless side stopped true
I think two things happened. We kind of lost our efficiency on the offensive side of the ball. With Denver, you're going to have to play them for 60 minutes, regardless of where you play, but that's particularly true when you play in Denver. They got the emotion and momentum going and we couldn't get them stopped there at the end when we had to.
believed confident good maybe might season statement
I said, and maybe it was a self-fulfilling prophecy, but I made the statement before our season began, that I believed and was confident we were a better team, but we might not have as good a record. Maybe I shouldn't have said that.
finishing interest positive
Our interest is getting back and finishing on a positive note.
continue effort energy good playing
We're a good team. As long as we continue to play with that kind of effort and energy that we're playing with, we're going to be able to do the things we set out to do.
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.
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.
games guys maybe refused speaks win
You have to find a way to win the games where you maybe don't play at your very best. Our guys just refused to be denied. I think that speaks very, very well for them.
moments nature sure
I think it is tough; I think it is difficult. But you know that's just the nature of our business. I'm sure he has moments of frustration and/or disappointment. But he has a lot of fiber.
available certainly comforting family job obviously situation takes terrific
Stephen did a terrific job for us and that's certainly comforting to us, but obviously we'd like to have Randall available to us. If he is not, his family in that situation takes priority, in my view.
believed
Look, it's about the team, not the individual. For many, many years, I've always believed it's about the team.
