adversity good happens work
What happens when adversity strikes? And it will, and we'll have to work through those issues. It won't always be the good times in the preseason when everyone's patting you on the back.
anyway ball close earlier
Like I said earlier in the week, I'm going to keep that part of it close to the vest. Obviously, after the first ball game, it's all out there anyway for (the next) 15 weeks.
drafted four high level rotation
They used to play pretty much with the same four guys. But they've drafted well there, so their rotation now allows them to play at a high level consistently, and it's really benefiting them.
afternoon coaches concern defensive gone guy matter meeting per physically player quite scheme sure talk worked
It's just a matter of him getting used to what we're doing. I'm not sure we're there quite yet. I'm going to talk with the defensive coaches in my meeting this afternoon with them and just see where we feel he is. He's a guy that hasn't really gone through preseason and has not been in the scheme per se, as a player physically worked into the scheme. So, obviously, we have a little concern there.
backup biggest catalyst certainly couple defense difference drafted four good guys holes played year
They're the catalyst to the defense because they're so active, so disruptive. There aren't a whole lot of holes there. They've certainly drafted well and had good guys in backup roles. That's the biggest difference between this year and a couple years ago when they played with the same four guys.
evaluation further looked pads wednesday
He looked OK. I'll make a further evaluation on him on Wednesday when we put the pads on.
anticipate coaches evaluate happen needs problem talk
It's been addressed. If (Little) has a problem with any situation, he needs to come and talk to me about it. Our coaches evaluate every practice, every game. We don't (air gripes) that way. We haven't done it in the past; we're not going to do it now. So, I don't anticipate that to happen again.
aware believe last pains ran run shoulder similar tests
Finally, he told me he was having some pains in his upper chest, shoulder area, pains very similar to the ones I was aware of the last time, ... They ran tests, and they're going to run some more tests on him tomorrow. I believe he'll be OK.
blocking functions offense route running strength tight today yesterday
He did a lot of running yesterday with the strength coach, a lot of different movements, and today he did some route running with the offense and some blocking without the pads. He did all the functions of a tight end.
crowd noise practiced seem since
I don't know. We've practiced a lot of crowd noise since I've been here and it doesn't seem to be as big an (issue as it was),
aaron couple difficult ends game nice personnel playing situations taking tight
I thought Aaron did better today, I thought he managed the game well. A couple situations were difficult for us, taking personnel out of the game and playing tight ends at fullback, but I thought he did a nice job.
adaptable clock errors evening few field handle meeting mental picked quite seemed seems
We've been meeting with him around the clock for the most part. He seems to be very adaptable and has picked up quite a few things. We put him out there on the field this evening and he seemed to handle things quite well. ... I didn't see him make any mental errors out there.
anyway case certainly fact limit misleading plays prepared run
Well, certainly it's limiting. How limiting? They've all run the run plays that we are calling. We've had to limit it going into this thing anyway in case this in fact did happen, so we prepared that way. But it does limit you some. I'd be misleading you to say it didn't.
applying ball cause coming defensive edge feeling game generate knocking mainly pass pick position pressure result rushed stress throw
Turnovers are a result mainly from applying pressure on the quarterback. Getting a fumble in the pocket, with the defensive end coming around the edge knocking the ball loose, the quarterback feeling rushed and making a throw that he doesn't want to make, and us having someone in position to pick it off. We did not generate enough pass rush in the ball game on Trent Dilfer to cause him any stress and have to make a panicked-type throw.
