consistency developed looking
He developed some of that consistency that I was looking for.
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.
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.
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.
avoided bad came good jeff job reasonably
I thought Jeff came in and did a reasonably good job for his team. He avoided the bad plays.
gone move perfect plays pocket situation stretch
Just about every situation he's gone in, he's been able to move the team. He hasn't been perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but he has some pocket presence, he can evade the rush, he can make plays and he has made plays. That's why I think he can do it.
might series situation
I might try to take a look at (Jones) if the situation is right. We might give him a series or two to see how he does on defense.

Just sitting out there, I saw a couple of throws that caught your eye.
