ben bit coverage fitting good initially injuries involved might overall pass running stuff system talk training understanding
I think Ben might be a little bit better than I initially thought he was in training camp, ... There was some talk about injuries with him and being better in pass coverage than the run. I think overall he's doing a pretty good job. Nothing great, but he is fitting into the system and understanding more about the defense. He's involved in coverage and the running game, so all of that stuff is good.
bit develop longer team work
We need to work here a little bit longer and develop this team more.
bit cream guys longer name rises takes
Sometimes as guys compete, the cream rises to the top. If it rises quickly, then we'll name him quickly. If it takes a little bit longer to rise, then we'll take a little bit longer to name him.
ability added bit build came changed decided exactly guys help maybe nfl pieces team
They had some ability here. Every NFL team has ability. We came in and changed some systems. We decided to do something a little bit different. Maybe all of the pieces here don't exactly fit, but we added some guys to the team who we feel will help us build this team to where we want it to be.
bit caused lose
I thought we were going to be a little bit more representative than we were. We did too many things that caused us to lose the game.
bit capable catch looks moving run training
I think that he'll be able to do a little bit before then, and I think that we'll be able to have an idea of what he's capable of doing, to a degree. If he's out there still limping in training camp, then we're going to say, 'Hey, its not going to work. He's going to need more time.' But if he's moving around pretty well and it looks like he can catch and run and all those things, then we'll be more encouraged.
anytime carolina game good injuries last might super team year
I think Carolina would be a good game anytime because they are a good team. I told the team that two years ago Carolina was in the Super Bowl. If it hadn't been for the injuries they had last year they might have been back there again.
basically hit open
I think basically he was inaccurate. If a guy's open and you don't hit him, that's not the defense.
changes evaluate leaving needed personnel position situation whatever
I said that we would evaluate our situation and if personnel changes needed to be made, we would make them, at whatever position. I did not specify any position or anybody, and that's what I'm leaving it at. OK?
ball came defense fought good guys job last move offense rebound score slow talked week weeks
Our guys came back out and we talked about all week about being able to rebound after last weeks loss. The guys came back and fought hard. Our defense did a good job the whole game. The offense got off to a slow start, but then came on and were able to move the ball and score some points.
asking block guys miss
Well, I thought about the possibility of asking those guys to not block at all so Dennis could make someone miss on his own. When we try to block, that's when we get penalties.
cincinnati competing division good pittsburgh playoff teams within
Well, we're just not good enough within the division overall. Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are the measuring stick. They're playoff teams you're competing with, and we're not there yet.
attitude everybody lost thinks
I tell them all the time: It's a honeymoon. The attitude is great, everybody thinks that you're going in the right direction, but we haven't lost one that counts. When that happens, we'll see what happens.
begin chances last plays start timing training
I think he's not where he was for the first game, ... He got most of the reps in training camp, and his timing was right on. Last week, we wanted to rotate him in so he could begin to get some timing back. Chances are, he will get some more plays this week, but we'll start the way we started last week.
