“We’re going to stick with what we do,” Canada said via the team’s website. “Obviously that’s not the answer and it’s not the sexy answer, but we think we’re on the right track. We have to get some cohesion up front. We’re working to get it, and that’s no excuse. We have to produce right away, so we won’t run away from it or hide from it. But we have to keep doing what we are doing. We have to keep putting our guys in position to make plays that until we win, when we win, we don’t do it well enough. It comes back to me, but we are not going to try to reinvent the wheel. It is fundamental football. Everyone does the same. It is fundamental football. We have to be better and I have to be better.
