backs bit break deal defensive far game gives knowing man next page patterns urgency walking wants week
He wants to get on the same page with the receivers. Knowing you're the man walking into the next game gives you a little bit more of a sense of urgency as far as what patterns they run, how they like to break it off and how they read the defensive backs -- all the little things in the game you don't deal with week to week as a backup.

If we had come out 0-2, we'd have to dig ourselves out of a huge hole walking into a very hostile environment next week in Colorado. The defending champs are going to be very tough to deal with at their house, so this game was a pivotal game for us.
ball expect giving players point points team turning
Obviously, our point totals that we're giving up aren't what we would expect defensively with some of the players that we have. But in all fairness, the turnovers are the big issue.
