knew mistakes wrong
We knew they were going to make mistakes. We knew they were going to make big plays. We didn't want them to think if they did something wrong they weren't going to get back in forever.
average offense
Our offense has been very average and by rotating quarterbacks, we couldn't ever get into synch.
chance good trying
I know what I'm saying, but I'm not trying to play the thing up. I still say when you have a quarterback who's a good player, you've got a chance in every game.
aggression coach field kicked smart
I let my aggressiveness take me over there. A smart coach would have kicked a field goal.
along easy paying
I'm actually pretty soft. I'm easy to get along with as long as they're paying the price.
guess half side stuff
I'd guess we'd do about half the stuff on each side this year.
benefit bobby games offense spring team took youngster
Donovan started all the games in 2004 and took most of the reps with the first team in spring practice. It will benefit our team and the offense to have an up-and-coming youngster like Bobby Reid at quarterback.
bobby gotten last majority opportunity practice
Donovan has had more practice reps, but in the last 10-12 days, Bobby has gotten considerably better. We thought if he could take the majority of practice reps, it would give him the opportunity to excel.
ahead messing name offensive staff tired until
They were so close. I wasn't even going to do it until the game. The offensive staff was tired of messing with it. They wanted to go ahead and name a starter, so that's fine.
It's really very simple, ... We got out-coached, out-schemed and out-played.
asked ends figure gonna knew move soon split tight
As soon as Fedora was hired, it didn't take (Johnson) long to figure out that we'd split the tight ends out more. He knew that wasn't gonna be him so he asked if he could move down.
anybody chance football good win
a good football team. I think they will have just as good a chance as anybody to win the North.
al coverage fire good job paid thrown
I thought Al did a good job for just being thrown into the fire. He understands structure. He understands blitzes. He understands coverage and it has paid off for him.
chance game
If you have a quarterback that potentially could be drafted, you've got a chance in every game you're in. That's just the way it is.
