On the young players still needing work:
“Sometimes we move along scheme-wise and try to take what we see are opportunities, but are we ready to execute that stuff? Sometimes when you’ve had more experience, you can point to a time earlier in a guy’s career. Now, we don’t have that luxury. At the end of the day, it’s always about execution.”

On Sheldon Price and Aaron Hester:
“Sheldon did some really good things in the game. I know he wishes he’d gotten the guy down, because he had certain position to get him down, he’s getting better. It’s nice to have competition. Aaron Hester will probably be ready to start participating a week from now, and I know Courtney Viney is chomping at the bit to get back there.”

On the locker room at halftime:
“It wasn’t a ghost town. There was some frustration in it because we thought that we played well. But as a young team, we have to understand we have to play 60 minutes. We can’t come in at halftime and be frustrated. When everybody wants something so badly and it doesn’t seem to happen, there is a level of frustration.”

On the decision to play Richard Brehaut:
“I’ve been pretty clear that I want to keep looking to get Richard in the game. Kevin was not at his best. We weren’t moving the ball. Sometimes just a change of pace is a good thing. It looked to me like a great spot to get Richard the chance. I’m not trying to create this controversy. I know it’s a favorite of your profession, but no, Kevin Prince is the guy we chose, and we’ll get Kevin Prince the chance to play this week. But I still want to keep Richard on the come.”
