"We made a lot of mistakes in key times, key areas, big mistakes on lots of big plays on both sides of the ball and thought we played a little soft," Rodriguez said Monday during his weekly news conference. "That was the most disappointing part about it we've got to get tougher."
Soft. They played a little "soft."
No word stings more.
