days degrees few four guys oh severe three until year
Oh yeah, sure. There are degrees of sprains and we've had three or four of them this year already and guys come back and play. But you don't know until you get a few days away as to how severe it is.
four last might three weeks within
We aren't doing anything he hasn't done before within the offense. Now, he might not have done it the last two or three weeks or four weeks or whatever,
bailey beat champ hard last none players three year
I know this -- none of our players said Champ Bailey didn't play hard when we beat them by three touchdowns last year out here.
four guys improved last run three tough
I thought it would be tough to run on these guys like we have because they've improved their down four (linemen). They had more than just three different guys than they had last year.
control controlled situation
We're realistic. But I'm not going to say we're not going to be (in the playoffs). The only thing I'm going to do is try to control the things that we have control of. If we'd controlled it better earlier, we wouldn't be in the situation we're in.
ballgame coming hard hit hold knew onto pass problems solved time
We knew we were going to have some problems with pass protection. We knew that coming in. But, obviously, we didn't get it solved during the ballgame and Trent got hit too many times. We had a hard time getting the ball downfield because he couldn't hold onto the ball long enough.
football miss player
We're going to miss him. He's more than a football player for this organization.
The other thing is to keep their quarterback struggling,
football win
If we don't take the football away, we don't win the game. That's all there is to it,
black good job jordan left start tough
One was at least a pretty good call. Sometimes, hey, if you're getting beat, you don't want the quarterback hit, you take the penalty. But overall, Jordan Black did a good job for his first start at left tackle. That's a tough position.
players practice
Now the players are going to say we don't need to practice on Thursday.
needless proud
Needless to say, I'm very, very proud of how well they played.
chance concerned games history last odds past playing shows team until win won
We're not concerned about the playoffs. Right now our concern is playing well Saturday. That's all that matters. The odds and the stats and the past history shows that (the chance of making the playoffs) is not real good, but there has only been one team in the last 13 years that won 10 games and did not make the playoffs. We have a chance to win 10, but you can't do that until you win No. 9. For us, it's all about Saturday.
last won
Last year, we wouldn't have won tonight's game.
