ended four glad good hold needed nice offense territory test three
It would have been nice to hold them to three or four and out in their territory and let our offense take a knee. But this was a good test for our defense. I think we kind of needed that to get some confidence. I'm glad it ended up this way.
coaches defensive good league respected
And those were just the front-runners. It makes me feel good at the end of the day, that two of the most respected defensive coaches in the league wanted me.
deal few guys past secondary since stable step talented
I don't think our secondary has ever been stable since I got here. We have always had guys in and out of the lineup and guys getting hurt. There's always been a lot of turnover there. It's kind of the way it's been here for the past few years. It's something we have to deal with. Guys have got to step up. We have a lot of talented guys back there.
felt informed
I felt like it was going to take a lot to make me not go to Chicago, and I wanted to be as well- informed as possible.
best fans feelings great hear
It?s one of the best feelings in football, ... It?s great when you hear the fans and you know you just made a big play. It?s an unbelievable feeling.
breaks cover deepest hung island left
It's one of those things where when the quarterback breaks the pocket, we've got to cover the deepest receivers. We kind of left 'Fish' out on an island back there. We kind of hung him out to dry. ... We've just got to be disciplined.
character defense establish great hang hat trying
That's something the defense can hang their hat on. We're trying to establish our character and our identity. This was a great game, especially for our defense.
It was a gutsy call. Somebody's got to get through.
bringing
It's just an all-out blitz. We're bringing everybody.
dominate erase
It's embarrassing. We have to go out there and erase that from our memories. The only way to do that is to go out there and dominate this game.
defense guy places sign someplace team
It was going to take a lot for me not to sign with Chicago. It was important for me to go someplace where defense was important and they did things the right way. (Williams) was a guy I could play for who could make me better as a player, and this team is going places in this league.
came
They came out and pretty much had their way with us offensively.
against hold points situation three wall
When you put yourself in a situation where your back is against the wall and you come out and hold them to three points then you have done your job.
excuse maybe shut sorry testament ways
There's a lot of reasons, or a lot of ways you could come up with an excuse to shut it down. Or maybe feel sorry for yourself. I think this is a testament to our character.
