ball care clear difference games point position possesses winning
The point I've made very clear to him, and I made very clear to you: You will not play quarterback or any other position that possesses the ball for me. You have to take care of the ball because it's the difference between winning games in this league.
accurately anxious career game might predict problem score surface time
The problem with that is every time I've ever done that in my career it's been a low-scoring game and when I've thought it (would be) a low-scoring game it was a shootout. Going in, on the surface you might think that, but I don't think there's any way to accurately predict it. All we're anxious to do is find a way to score one more than they have. That's all we care about.
came conclusion delighted error man motivation pattern research validate
We did considerable research on it and came to the conclusion that it was a young man who made one error in judgment. And the motivation for it was such that while it doesn't validate his choice, there was no pattern of any kind in that regard. We are delighted we have him.
expect philip playing starting
We're playing our starting players. I don't expect Philip to play at all, barring injury.
game seven won
We won the first game of a nine-game season. Those other seven are gone.
emotional philip talking
This will not be too big for Philip Rivers. I'm talking about it from the emotional and intellectual standpoint.
stay
Like a lot of their linebackers, you can get on them, but they won't stay blocked.
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.
remains
I don't know. That remains to be seen.
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.
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.
expects sometime visit within
I know Cam expects that he'll go down there and visit with them sometime within the week.
couple game last played poorly
I don't know that we've played as poorly in a game as we did the game the other day, in the last couple of years.
happens natural panic sets
I think what happens is a sense of panic sets in. It's a natural reaction.
