ball ears kept pinned ran running stop threw
We didn't stop anything. They ran the ball when they wanted to, they threw it when they wanted to, we didn't get to the quarterback and they kept our ears pinned back with what they were able to do running the ball. I was disappointed with everything defensively.
ball last paper ran run situation stuff year
We ran the ball last year on paper well, but some of the situation stuff wasn't as good, ... I think we need to be able to run the ball when we want to run the ball.
build count head per throws
We'll have a count in the back of our head about how many throws per day, but I don't see it as any build up. I mean, we've got to go. We have to get ready.

We're confident he can perform the responsibilities that we are going to ask him to do, ... Maybe in another month we might add to that.
drives falter improvement major matter passing talked
We've got to have drives that don't falter out. That's one of the major things we talked about going into this game. It's a matter of consistency. I thought there was improvement in the passing game, but it's still not there.
along difficult extremely happen phases played somewhere three today win
Usually if you win a game, two phases have played very well and, somewhere along the line, one of the phases is not able to, ... On a day like today when all three played extremely well - I don't want to say it's rare; I'd like to see it happen more often - but it's difficult to do.
learn move possibly teach tear
We're going to look at it and tear it down every way we possibly can and learn from it and teach from it and then move forward, ... Hopefully, it is one game.
