continue dominate point single trying
I'm just trying to continue to get better. I know what I'm doing out there but I just want to get to the point where I can dominate every single play, and I'm not to that point yet.
coach emphasis laid lets pressure
If there's been any change, it's been that we are now more aggressive. To me in years past, it wasn't always like that. There was more of an emphasis and pressure to perform. Now, Coach has been real laid back and lets us go out there and play and make plays.
coach lets pressure
In years past, there was more ... pressure to perform. Coach has been real laid-back. He lets us just go out there and make plays.
broke fast raw talent
He's a raw talent, basically, but he's so fast and he's just all over the place. He broke a lot of tackles out there.
ball clock control defense field line offensive plays ready run team together
The offensive line has to play well together for the whole team to function. We run the ball to control the clock and keep the defense off the field so that they're ready to make big plays when they come in.
difference hit hole last people sees speed trying year
It's a big difference from last year. Last year he was (about) speed and trying to hit the hole. Now he sees what's going on out there. And he's able to hit the hole and make a lot of people miss, too.
dwell rest
It's a long season. We still have a long way to go. So we can't dwell on this one or it is going to set us back the rest of the season.
blew physical
It didn't look like they were more physical than us at all. They blew up a lot of plays. They were a lot quicker, and they penetrated a lot more than we probably assessed going into the game.
anyone brothers eyes father found kept kid mistakes oldest path raising telling wrong
I went down the wrong path a lot of times, ... But if my brothers found out, they'd come after me. It was those two who kept their eyes on me. My oldest brother really was like a father to me. He was a kid when he was raising me, so, really, he didn't have anyone telling him what to do. He didn't want me to make the same mistakes he made.
correct early game practice taking third
It's been a long time. But it's early in the season. It's only the third game. We just need to go back to practice and correct some things. We made a lot of mistakes. But we are taking it one game at a time.
almost check gut hits mouth road saying team
I'm not saying you're lackadaisical at home, but if that road team comes out and hits you in the mouth almost from the first play, that's a gut check right there.
came drive execute good line offensive page pressure sustain together
We weren't on the same page all the time. That's where some of their pressure came from. Overall, the offensive line didn't play well today. We need to execute and sustain for 60 minutes, not just put together a good drive at the end of the game.
almost depending games given great magnitude type
Given the type of games and the magnitude of the games, it's approaching (a great rivalry). If the games keep on depending on something like they have been, it's almost a given.
good lost players replaced
We lost two good players. But we replaced them with two players who can be even better.
