adjusting best coach five game great halftime hall job passing plays running sees six win
Coach Hall does a great job of adjusting on game day. He's one of the best I've ever seen. He will come in at halftime and say, 'Look, here are five running plays and six passing plays and we'll do it and win the game.' He sees things very well.
line player running unique
Derrick's a very unique player. He has exceptional speed. We were able to line him up at running back sometimes. I don't know if we have another player on our roster like that.
exactly great hits last lets offense open patient runner supposed waited year
He's a more patient runner now. Now, he lets things open up and then he hits them. Before he waited too long. Now, he hits them exactly when he's supposed to hit them. He has made great improvement, even from last year to this. He will be a big part of this offense this year.
figure help kid people run seen shot three willing
But I'm a realist. People have seen me run the ball. People have seen me catch. They figure this kid can help us with two or three roster spots. I'm more than willing to do that. I just want a shot at quarterback.
attitude ball brought football gloves run throwing
It wasn't always throwing to them. I'd put the ball down, put the receivers gloves on and go out there and run with them. And they responded to that. They soaked it all in. These kids, they all know how to win. And they brought that attitude to our football team.
guy happen people questions run
You know, people see a guy who can run around and make things happen with his legs, and all of a sudden, he's not a quarterback. That's just the way people think. I can't be upset. Now, if Brett Favre was like that, those questions wouldn't even have arisen.
anyone deep good guys hurt pass patterns people running
He's one of those guys that people really don't think can hurt you, but he can. He's probably as good at running the deep pass patterns as anyone we got on the team. He's making the most of his opportunities.
completing gonna line offensive passes start
You start completing passes and the offensive line is like 'OK, if I keep blocking, we're gonna make big plays,'
spend
It is expensive, but as long as it's efficient, we'll spend the money.
criticize helped jay people talking
Jay has helped me a lot. Those people that criticize him really don't know what they're talking about.
coverage guys recognize
They didn't go to a traditional coverage after they blitzed, ... and our guys were really able to recognize that and get open.
environment expecting people retail typical
Reruns is not located in a typical retail environment. People are expecting to see a lawyer's office, not a kids' shop, in that part of town.
forgot joe oh
Oh man, don't say that. I forgot I had it in. It's one of those things where we're not around Joe right now.
