game good greater identity importance pass per plays running successful throw yards
The running game is always going to be important for us. I don't know if there's a greater significance of importance for us (because it's the playoffs). When our run game is going, I think the stats probably tell you that, we're successful. We do still have to throw the ball. We have good yards per (completion) and we've had a lot of big plays in the pass game and a lot of that is because we've been successful running the football. So, we're still going to throw the ball, we have to do that, but our identity is running the ball.
game good history judge moved plays shows
To me, his history has been that he shows up on game day and he plays very well. That's all I can judge it by. He made some good throws, he made some plays and moved in the pocket.
ben chance passing plays pleased seen timing
We've been pleased with what we've seen in some of our pass-catchers, ... I think, once they all get their timing down, we have a chance to make some plays in the passing game. Ben is working well with those guys.
ball balls certainly character couple early game great lose plays saw stepped threw turned
I just saw a lot of character in him today, because he had a couple plays early in the game where he turned the ball over, which was uncharacteristic of him. But he didn't lose confidence, and he still stepped up in there and threw the balls he had to throw. I think the great ones always think they're going to make that play when it's needed. I certainly think he does.
plays
Inventive? Oh, yes. You'll see some of the plays he comes up with. He did some things that were, let's say, not normal.
almost exactly felt funny good hold practice protection ran worked
We had the protection and we felt good that the protection was going to hold up. It was funny because we ran it in practice the other day and it worked almost exactly like that.
felt good line
We felt good about the line going into the season. Then we had some problems.
best good line next pass rush solid teams time weird work
It was weird because usually with teams that have had a pass rush we've always been pretty solid in our protection, ... Our line does a good job. It's unfortunate, but we didn't play our best game. We have some things we can work on. We'll work on those things and we'll be better next time we play.
early field football gear lose nice sudden
Early in the week, you kind of lose your sense of perception. It was nice (Wednesday) to get back on the football field and gear back into what's important. In season, you get into such a routine. All of a sudden that changes.
almost ball crazy knees since taking thinking time
(Our) thinking was since they (Colts) had all of their time outs, taking knees would give the ball back to them. Besides, how often does Jerome fumble the ball? Almost never. It was just a crazy thing.
bill leave mentality played season
Bill said, 'You know what, this is a one-game season from now on. That's the mentality we played with. Leave nothing in the bag.
exciting runner tough
The thing that was exciting to see was how tough a runner he was inside.
job
There's only one job out there right now.
bit residual snaps timing took
The timing was just a little bit off. He still had a little residual soreness. But he took all the snaps today.
