This is a group that shows a lot of resiliency, I didn’t think there was any quit in our team. Our execution was not good. When you don’t get off the field on third down, when you don’t tackle well – we did not tackle well today on the defensive side of the football – you’re not going to get the outcomes that you want. We have got to continue to work, we’ve got to remain positive, and we have to make the corrections. We have to make sure that we have the guys that are going to give us the best opportunity to win. We tried some new guys today, and I think we will continue to do that as we move forward.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirdWeisErrr_2 Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) I actually like the part about trying new guys and putting your best players, regardless, in the games. I don't know why this is something new to Smith but at least it sounds like we are gonna start trying it now. The team showing resiliency and showing no signs of quit is a joke. Any fool can see this team is not playing up to their ability. Edited November 18, 2013 by BirdWeisErrr_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconsIn2012 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 There was no quit because there was never a start. They were pathetic to start and remained so until Antone Smith brought the score back to respectability. Antone had the eye of the tiger when his chance finally presented itself.

FalconinPA Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 It would be easier if Smith would just play a recorded message each week. It has to drive you nuts saying the same thing every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
