full games glass half
We're not going to make it look pretty and say, 'Well, we've been here before,' ... We have 14 games to play and we can't panic. But I don't think you can tell them the glass is half full when it's not.
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.
concern good playing
The only concern I have is how is he playing right now, and he's playing pretty good. So, I feel good about that.
available certain definitely spots wide
There are definitely spots available to be had by certain players. That 53rd, 52nd, 51st, 50th spots are still wide open.
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.
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.
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.
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.
