Locker how to deal with a mistake?






Jake Locker made a terrible red area to Washington. Team Jason McCourty behind Washington cut from left to right before the end of the district, and through McCourty behind, unable to take back his hand. It bounce his shoulders and Bernard Pollard air plucked it out of choice. Perhaps the worst decision, the combination Locker camp. There have been a lot of practices where I thought Locker did well, with the exception of one big mistake or two. Too often, those mistakes are the sort that could be game-killers. Obviously it's unlikely any quarterback plays near-perfect with any regularity. And one of the things the Titans loved about Locker when they brought him in was his resiliency. Mike Munchak routinely talked of Locker's ability to forget something bad and rebound going forward without letting it affect him. I certainly still see that in Locker. This week, I asked him about how he views a play like the one I outlined above when practice is over and he had a chance to review it and break it down. "This is a chance to go back to see the movie, see if you can learn and improve," said Locker." I think you can take more sometimes you don't perform correctly, then you have a chance to learn from it. This is practice."
Don't repeat the same mistake is undoubtedly a great goal, Ken Whisenhunt and avoid Locker thought he did well." Our goal is to perfect the football, it's really challenging," said Locker." But this is not you repeat the same mistake before. This means that you learn from them and develop as a player."
