Q. You mentioned after the game your preparation in red zone last week and some of the things that you did to try to get a better feel for it and maybe a big- picture look. Did you do more things like meeting-wise collectively with the entire unit?
COACH KELLY: Yes.
Q. Is that what you were saying?
COACH KELLY: Yes.
Q. And have you done that before and how much will you do that in the future?
COACH KELLY: No, we hadn't done it before. What we have done is every Thursday we did our two-minute drill. When we run our two-minute drill we come back together on Friday, and we watch our two-minute drill together as an entire offense. I go through the different scenarios of two minutes, the spiking of the football, getting up handing the ball to the officials. Just the nuances of two minutes.
We've been really good in two minute. I thought it has been effective as a unit. Everybody understood it, has bought into it and we've been very effective in it. I said let's do that where we're struggling a little bit. Let's try to do that as a unit as it relates to our red zone. So we just took that same kind of philosophy and applied it to the red zone on Friday. Instead of doing two minute, we did that with our red zone and showed all of our red zone plays. Went through each one of them, talked about the nuances of the plays and talked about how important each piece was within it, and it looks like that worked. We'll do it again. If next week we're 0 for 4, we're not going to do it again.
It seemed like more guys were alert and knew that play and the ramifications of each particular play.
