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.
believe complete drew nature reason understanding
I have every reason to believe that Drew will be 100 percent, and those of you that know him know what he's like and the competitive nature he brings. Once we have the surgery, we'll have a complete understanding of the nature of the injury.
division football goal might national playing split team understand year
We're playing a division opponent, a team we split with a year ago. I understand those that might say, 'Well, you know, play Philip,' and all, but that's not the way the National Football League, in my view, is set up. Our goal is to get our 10th victory.
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.
finish football good segment understand
It's no one segment of our football team. We're a good football team. But we still haven't been able to understand how to finish the deal.
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.
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.
