entire played second seems
I think it's something we need to evaluate. It seems the entire preseason whichever quarterback played second has played best.
adapting camp great guys jason job learn played playing position positions tremendous
Jason has had a great camp and has done a great job in every regard. He's probably one of the guys who has had a lot more to learn because he's never really played that position as a professional player. He's playing a combination of two positions right now, but he's done a tremendous job of adapting and making plays.
certainly deserves happy performance played positive ricky today
I think he played outstanding and I am so happy for Ricky for some positive self-gratification that he'll get from his performance today because he certainly deserves it.
ability athletic based fame gives great guy hall hoped instincts jason learn move opportunity outside played question smart system taylor
I would say that if Jason Taylor had played in a 3-4 system somewhere, he would have been a Hall of Fame outside linebacker. There is no question about that based on the athletic ability the guy has. He's smart and he's got great instincts to learn things better than I ever hoped for. It gives us an opportunity to move him around and use him in a lot of different ways.
blaming certainly energy enthusiasm fast level played seen throughout year
I don't think we played very well. We didn't look quick, we didn't look fast and we didn't play with the same energy level that I've seen us play with throughout the year so far. I'm not blaming it on anything because that's not my nature, but we certainly didn't have the energy and the enthusiasm that we've played with to this point.
basis consistent continue eliminate errors execute fast games good hopes mental mistakes played starter
He's done a good job. He has minimized his mental mistakes. He's become a starter and he has played fast in the games and made some plays. We (will) keep working with him in hopes that he'll be able to execute on a consistent basis and continue to eliminate those mental errors that can get him in trouble.
appreciate based good great guy helpful overcome played players proud role team terms
He's played a great role for this team all year. He's been unselfish, he's been a really good team guy and he's been very helpful with a lot of other players in terms of what he's done. I can't tell you how much we appreciate it as an organization based on what he's done and how he's played and how he's overcome a lot. We're real proud of him.
looked played time
He looked quick. He looked fast. He made the right cuts. I'm not disappointed at all in the way he played for the first time out of the box.
felt played ricky williams
I felt like Ricky Williams played well. He didn't have many opportunities to do much, because he didn't have much space.
best continued football hopeful hopefully improvement knowledge offense offensive played spots types understanding
Gus has the best understanding of the offense right now. We feel like he hasn't played his best football yet, but with his knowledge and understanding and leadership, we're hopeful that he can show continued improvement, and that we can make some improvement as an offensive team. We've had spots of doing those types of things, and hopefully we'll continue to be more consistent.
confident early game longer looked offense played system
Gus did well, but he looked more comfortable and confident with the offense because he's played in the system before. I think we were a little tentative early in the game and I think the longer we played, the better we played.
good great happiness happy played role team unselfish
I am so happy for Ricky. He has played a great role for this team all year. He has been unselfish and has been a really good team guy.
good gotten guy half hard played sam second worked year
Sam has worked hard and played very well for us. He has gotten better and better all year long and has especially played well in the second half of the season. He has been a good guy on our team.
gets goes played rather time wear
Rather than wear him out, we played him about as much as we planned. We'll play him more and more as time goes on and he gets in better and better shape.
