bowls defense seen super teams win wins
I've seen teams win Super Bowls like that. Defense wins championships in this league, and I don't see why we should be any different.
almost ball defense games images mirror playing solid teams turn winning
Teams have been able to get after them. We're kind of in the same situation. We're almost mirror images of each other. The offenses haven't probably been doing as well as they want to, and the defenses have been playing solid and they've been winning on defense the games that they've won, same with us. What they're going to give us, we're going to give them. We just can't turn the ball over.
came everybody felt knew looked ours rightly schedule somebody super team test
We knew we had nay-sayers, and rightly so. (Carolina) was a team that everybody said was going to the Super Bowl. We looked at their schedule and looked at ours and felt this was really their first test of somebody that came to play.
again bears bounce cat chance continue continues credit disprove everybody field nine picked super team
For me it's because this is the team that everybody picked to go to the Super Bowl. And now it's like they are a cat with nine lives. They continue to bounce back, and everybody continues to still give them more credit than they deserve. This is a chance for us to disprove everybody again and get back on the field and show everybody the Bears are for real.
against game good job run steve stop team
They did a good job against the Giants. But I think if we can stop the run and make them a one-dimensional team and try to go to Steve Smith, you know that's going to be our game plan.
cover pressure since team throwing
A lot of it was (Carson Palmer) just throwing it up. Sometimes you've just got to cover somebody. At the same time, I guess, since it's a team effort, we didn't get enough pressure on the quarterback.
ears lead pin playing team
A team like the Colts, they have the lead most of the time, a big one, so they get to pin their ears back and go. We haven't been playing with a lot of big leads.
almost defense good mouth playing plays taste team victory
You play good defense and you almost kind of have the taste of victory in your mouth and to get it snatched away like that is really embarrassing. That's not the way that I play football. That's not the way the defense plays football, and as a team that's not the way we should be playing football.
game plan
It would be tough. You can't you have to guess, you have to double-check everything. You have to game plan for a lot of stuff.
amount defense defensive definitely plays
Everything is going to come down to what defense plays the best, and which is going to make the least amount of mistakes. It's definitely going to be a defensive struggle.
brian defense either leader sure thomas
Brian is the leader of the No. 1 defense in the league. You can go either way, and I'm sure Brian would say Thomas Jones, but he's right at the top.
absolutely affect bearing defensive forgets promise
Didn't affect us at all. As a defensive end, it has absolutely no bearing on me. It shouldn't affect Sundays. On Sundays, I promise you, everyone forgets about all of that.
certain everybody field geared pass periods speed stuff toward trying work
We have certain periods where we work on pass-rush drills, one-on-one, speed and stuff like that. Really, everything is geared toward the pass rush. Everybody is trying to get up the field and try to get in the quarterback's face.
mentally week
You just don't want to go into that bye week having to use it to get healthy. You want to use it to get better and mentally prepared.
