No watching film, no working like heck. You point out your deficiencies and you promise to fix them before you hit the court/field. The message has a certain ring of accountablility from a coach that feels accountable.
I really don't see how that is any different than Fulmer saying "we have to tackle better" or "we needed to make a couple more plays". Billy G's comment would be the equivalent of Fulmer saying we need to block better so our quarterback has more time to throw. His choice of words was much better than anything that will come out of Fulmer's mouth but the substance was not much different.
